Just a thanks to those who arranged for the demonstration of a (and I'm about
to massacre the spelling of this, my apologies) digereedoo at Worldcon. When I
went to write the main title opening of THE CITY OF DREAMS, I needed to find
something cool...and the demonstration which explained how information is in a
sense encoded in the sounds made worked *perfectly* for what I needed. And the
result is now at www.scifi.com/cityofdreams. Thanks for the demo, and it shows
again that you never know where an idea is going to come from.

I don't know the full story, but apparently SFX ran a hate campaign against
B5 and JMS for some reason.
