He also edits the Hugo-nominated SF critical magazine Nova Express, and runs the Turkey City Writer's Workshop. His non-fiction has appeared in National Review, Reason, Whole Earth Review, The Freeman, The World & I, Science Fiction Eye, The New York Review of Science Fiction, and Slashdot.org.

He also makes a mean batch of salsa.
Love love love this song.

Yep, forgot to insert the link. It’s fixed now, pointing to the full song I posted a bit later.
