Ominvoracious posts about Michael Chabon's new book of essays, Maps and Legends. They also link to his proposed script for Spiderman 2 over at McSweeny's.
Chabon will be in the Grand Rapids area on Thursday for the Calvin College Festival of Faith and Writing. He will be speaking at Sunshine Community Church (map below). I've heard Chabon on Fresh Air and I anticipate that he will be an engaging speaker. Chabon is one of the most talented and entertaining author's out there right now. If you're in my area, don't miss this speech.

Sparkwood and 21: My First Novel (Free .pdf)
In 1999, I finished my first novel, Sparkwood and 21, just after my first son was born. Needless to say, life has intervened and it is too late to return to it. It is completed, though un-edited. Classify it as a work of experimental sci-fi, with a ton of insane character names as well as obvious and obscure pop culture references.
Here is the link. Please enjoy and send it on to many, many friends. Send responses to sparkwood21novel@gmail.com.

Exoplanet Update
Each day that passes adds evidence to one of the inexorable facts of our existence: it is not unique and, if we survive as a species, we will eventually encounter extra-terrestrial life.
One of the key barometers of this is the number of planets that have been discovered outside our solar system. Other key barometers are also listed below.
Today's exoplanet number: 228 (source: exoplanets.org)
Total number of verified planets: 236
Total number of planets currently known to harbor life: 1
Total number of planets currently known to harbor intelligent life: 1
Total number of planets inhabited by humans: 1 (visit The Mars Society for information about changing this number)
