The Y-wing is a workhorse starfighter has been in use since the Clone Wars. Used for dogfights and for bombing runs against capital ships and ground targets, Y-wings are often overshadowed by newer models such as the X-wing and the A-wing. But the Y-wing's historical importance is remarkable, and it has reliably served multiple generations of star pilots.

I see them. Y-wings, heavy shields and turret guns.

We’re going with a tasteful dash of dolphins for this Sci-Fi Dolphin Sunday: Here’s a Colin Hay piece centering on a weather-worn building (a Hay specialty). It’s a 1978 UK cover to Perry Rhodan #37, ‘Epidemic Center: Aralon,’ and was in Steven Caldwell’s 1979 art collection 'Star Quest,’ too.

Also, an update on Sci-Fi Dolphin Saturday: Sometimes it’ll be on Sunday this year. I’m too busy marketing my art collection! Which you should preorder, btw! Check it out here

This is a thing that comes up frequently. Someone wonders why Picard put Wesley, who was a teenager, at the helm of the Enterprise. Surely, the argument goes, there are more qualified, experienced,…

This is a link to a post on my blog (sidebar: this thing you are reading now is not a blog. It is a Tumblr thingy. My blog is a blog. Thank you.) that is kind of about Wesley Crusher, but is also about some other stuff.

Okay. This is a good take on this, from a guy who has had the motivation and time to think about it!

Hi! A bookstore cashier from Latvia here. Just wanted to share that today a teen girl with a relative came in and asked for suggestions for her book club, and I suggested your Neverwhere and she was like, oooh! The relative asked if she had read it and she was like no, but I follow him on Tumblr. The choked nose I made. I wish she hadn't worn zip up boots so I could ask about her shoelaces. Thank you for unexpected smiles and glimmers of connection in unexpected places, across generations.

It never occurred to me that you needed to be wearing shoelaces for someone to tell you that they liked them.

My favourite thing about this is the notes and tags from occasional people convinced that, as an elderly and respectable author, I have somehow missed that this might be a Tumblr code-phrase from the dawn of time.

When what I thought I was saying was, because it's a code-phrase you can say it whether or not the person actually is wearing shoelaces, just as when someone sits down next to you and says "The clarinet makes beautiful music", you don't reply "I honestly can't tell woodwind instruments apart, " and instead you reply, "Mozart wrote for the clarinet, but then, so did George Gershwin," just like they taught you at spy school.
