Newest Ben Aarnonovitch is now out!

Broken Homes was released last week. I've reserved it in the library, along with 40 other people, for the 11 copies available. :-)

I'd buy it in paperback but that's not available til February, and I think the reservation will come in before then.

Been a rough week on the intawebs

where every Twitter troll has decided it's time to threaten women who are in public life.

Twitter is just the latest in a series of technical tools (following free email accounts, and comments on blogs and newspaper sites) that allow otherwise normal people to behave badly in public, making statements they'd never dream of saying to anyone in person.

I'm not a great fan of the Statesman, but this was one of the cooler headed observations.

At the same time, Adam Hills summary of 'Don't be a dick' pretty much covers it.
