You're being too productive. Let me help.

The Worldbuilding blog, Universe Factory, has been publishing a nice mix of articles. (We aim to post something new every three days.) Some recent posts that my readers might be interested in:

- The latest in my "revelation for RPGs" series, in which I talk about transformations in the world and in some of the characters (previous posts in this series are linked)

- Hey look, I was interviewed!

- The third in a series on hard magic (see also part 1 and part 2)

- A Day on Planet Sitnikov, on unusual orbital mechanics and, also by this author, a planet's-eye view of globular clusters

I like the idea of "Speaker to Programmers". I've said one of my best skills was explaining technical stuff to non-techs, but "Speaker to End-Users" doesn't quite have the same ring. :)

One of these days, we're going to have to have a discussion on Religion in Space. I expect it's actually going to be an issue in the future. How does a Jew mark the holy days when sunrise and sunset is every 40 minutes on the ISS? Which way does a Muslim face when the direction for Mecca is "down"?
