Those of you who know me (or who have poked around this site sufficiently) will know that I am sometimes under the delusion that I am a Science Fiction writer. (Capitalization and all). I will even admit to having suffered on occasion a sense of superiority because I am a computer programmer. But I've just happened across an author's website which has cured me of any such pretension, probably permanently. Greg Egan's Home Page is unavoidable proof that he has more imagination and skill as a programmer and as writer than I can ever hope to develop. The site is full of text from his stories, illustrations, graphics and working simulations of some of the incredible experiments and radical science from his stories. I should really take more time out to do the same sort of thing. I can write an applet! Heck I work for Sun! I, uh, just need to wait until I finish this other thing that I have to do, and I have this thing I have to do in Dallas, and then there's this pain in my left wrist when I hold it just so...
