Storyminded
Two things bring on storymind tonight: a cool new blog called Science in My Fiction by my pals at Crossed Genres; & the story of murder, an interstellar spaceship, & Lord Shiva that I'm about to start working on.

My annual birthday present: getting off work in February to find some light still in the sky. And a whole bunch of other tweets.
Building Consensus
How editing Wikipedia & a fictional Martian constitutional convention influenced the Consensus government in my novel(s)-to-be. Yep, & consensus would be a better way to run our own world too, yep.

Good for my worldbuilding, bad for my world
One tool for inventing an imaginary story universe in science fiction is extrapolating from the present into the future. Granting corporations lots of extra power as the Supreme Court did recently is very good for my worldbuilding. But is very bad for the world I actually live in.
