Almost as inescapable as death and taxes, but maybe not so much fun: it’s another Ansible.
Ansible 324, July 2014
July 1st, 2014Kickstarter for BLIT film
June 20th, 2014Nikolai Hamel, the chap who hopes to film my 1988 story “BLIT” as a graduate thesis project (this is code for “Langford doesn’t get any money”) begs me to tell the world about his Kickstarter page for the film. See below. I’d be interested to see the result but alas, the fund-raising is a long way short of its goal.
Ansible 323, June 2014
June 2nd, 2014They said it couldn’t be done, and by golly they were right, so here’s Ansible 323 instead.
Ansible 322, May 2014
May 2nd, 2014All the news in fits of print.
Later: I never expected to do this but the question of accepting Bitcoins has been raised and I’ve revised the donations page to add this dodgy option. Goodness knows whether it works.
Ansible 321, April 2014
April 7th, 2014I am so embarrassed. Failing to flag the 1 April publication of Ansible 321 here was not a merry April Fool’s jest but stark incompetence. Apologies.

Ansible 320, March 2014
March 3rd, 2014Although you’ve never met before (it’s only the jokes that are familiar), let’s pretend that Ansible 320 needs no introduction.
Shameless Pluggitude, February 2014
February 4th, 2014I’m never comfortable about trailing one’s coat for awards, but since it’s the late Algis Budrys (and his widow Edna) rather than myself, here goes. Readers who enjoyed the 2013 Ansible Editions critical collections Benchmarks Revisited and Benchmarks Concluded can now register appreciation by voting for one or both in the online Locus Poll, nonfiction category. By the way, ebook editions of all three volumes were released this month at Ansible Editions.
Ansible 319, February 2014
January 31st, 2014February comes unusually early this year … well, at least the February Ansible does.
SFX 238, 239, 240 and 241 columns
January 18th, 2014I lost track of my duty to upload these a few issues after their magazine appearance, because some hidden hand at SFX stopped sending reminders in the form of complimentary copies. This batch includes the inevitable farewells to Jack Vance and Frederik Pohl.
