I'm delighted to be a panelist and case competition judge at the CASI Beyond Earth: The Next Frontier Space Conference at Toronto Metropolitan University this weekend organized by the TMU student chapter of the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute.

Classic Chinese tomato egg dish (mostly) following a recipe my brother recommended on YouTube. I didn't rub the tomatoes in flour and I skipped the green pepper. Served on brown basmati and wild rice.

Dr. Tosiron Adegbija, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Arizona, gave an excellent presentation earlier this month on "Right-Sizing Intelligence: Hardware, Software, and the Sustainable Future of AI" as part of the HardScience SF Writers Readers Artists Zoom Group speaker series.

"The tech billionaires are mostly full of shit."

I don't know Jack.
Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday evening (in person and in spirit) for the informal Ottawa celebration of the life of Jean-Louis Trudel. It gave me comfort to know that Jean-Louis will live on in the hearts and memories of all the people he touched over the course of his accomplished life.

It's minus 18 degrees outside, a great time to warm up with some cookies and tea (in this case, Earl Grey hot) and my copy of the inaugural volume of WINTER OF SCI-FI & FANTASY. Edited by Dustin Bilyk and published by Worldstone Publishing with beautiful artwork by Emily's World of Design, this new anthology features a lucky 13 tales including my story "Random Access Memory". WINTER OF SCI-FI & FANTASY is available for pre-order now and will be released February 17th.

ECCENTRIC ORBITS by John Bloom about the rise, fall, and rise of the Iridium mobile communications satellite constellation is my absolute favourite space business book. So I was positively giddy when I recently picked up a near pristine hardcover at the local public library's used bookstore for the princely sum of $2.

I am so proud of my sister Dr. Margaret Choi, not only for the recognition from BC Children's Hospital on this National Pediatrician Day, but for her years of tireless dedication both within and beyond the walls of the hospital in providing the gift of care to the smallest and most vulnerable of patients.
