Ambition...

I'm not sure what I think of this quotation, but it amused me because it made me think of Doctor Who, and when I read it, I heard it in David Tennant's voice.

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. - Pearl Bailey, 1918 - 1990

Dreamwatch...

There is a news item that the magazine Dreamwatch is ceasing publication.

My first reaction was disappointment. Now, it isn't easy to find Dreamwatch in Ottawa, but it's possible, and I've always enjoyed it. I love glossy sci-fi magazines, I really do.

But then it turns out that the magazine will reappear as a website at http://www.dwscifi.com/. This puzzles and interests me. Certainly websites have filled a place in my life that used to be taken by newsstand periodicals - though I still read magazines too. Seems to me there's something a little surreal there, something a little out of whack, when the electronic and the print media dance back and forth and change one into the other. It's such a fluid world now.
