So, between work and spots of baby duty (which is infinitely more cool than I could ever describe, by the way), my latest geeky, SciFi, intellectual obsession is Chris Wayan's Planetocopia. It's essentially an exercise(s) in world creation, a fun task, if mildly obsessive, as I've already pointed out. Anyway, I found the pages fascinating. If you're into that sort of thing, you should check it out. There's a lot of food for thought in there, if a little tilted toward the 'furry' side of things at times. Whatever. His science seems to be pretty good (and he seems to be reading many of the same books I've read).

I was especially fascinated by Lyr, a massive wet world, quite unlike Earth.
