Working in space
We saw a great presentation about the recent mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The speaker was Christian Ready, who has been a regular and popular guest at Windycon for many years. This latest mission has a lot of tasks that are easy to relate to, e.g.
- Removing screws without dropping and losing them.
- Stuck bolts
- Replacing circuit boards.
- Changing batteries
The point was that even simple tasks are much harder in space.

Windycon
Mia and I are again at Windycon, a Chicagoland science fiction convention. We had a fast and easy drive down. We had dinner with some old friends from local fandom.
The convention looks good. Once again, we were impressed by the Dealers’ Room. Though Windycon is much smaller than Convergence, the biggest SF event in Minnesota, there are many more booksellers here. There is also excellent science programming. It is our idea of what a con should be.
