Garner named West Virginian of the Year – Yahoo! News CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Actress Jennifer Garner has been honored as the 2007 West Virginian of the Year by her hometown newspaper. Rich Rodriguez wasn’t available? Technorati Tags: jennifer garner, RichRod, OurRod, Michigan This is horrible news. AN EMBUGGERANCE Heinlein, Project Moonbase and Others (preorder): Subterranean Press Subterranean Press is proud to announce a two volume set that will contain virtually the last unpublished material by Robert A. Heinlein. Important news. I wonder exactly when Heinlein wrote these things and whether this work represents his “A” game.
Dear Reader, I’m very happy with how this book turned out. The color maps print even more beautifully than they look on screen. If you are interested in Iraq and its history, I feel sure you will find this a rewarding purchase. Cordially, Fred Zimmerman Dear reader, I hope you enjoy COOL MAPS OF IRAQ. I’ve read a lot of books about Iraq. A few must-reads:

Cordially, Fred Zimmerman Anyone writing for Knol is likely to at least peruse Wikipedia content before publishing. And if they see anything good, they are at liberty to simply lift and copy it over to Knol, and get a adsense check for their time. The name of Google Knol is a tip off that there is something basically broken in the concept — there is a damned good reason why there are no “knols” in the real world. Knowledge doesn’t come in units. As a publisher, I wonder if there has been any thought given to how Google Knol and Google Book Search should play together. It doesn’t look like it at first glance. The sample author Knol page for Rachel Manber doesn’t even have a link to Rachel Manber on Google Book Search orGoogle Scholar. Why the heck not? Hey Google, instead of having your engineers duplicate Wikipedia with daffy “knols”, why not involve some publishers? We know a little bit about promoting authors too… and we have this great way of binding “knols” together in paper and charging twenty or thirty bucks a package. It’s called a “book.” Dear readers, this book contains some incredibly beautiful images of the sun. I am not sure I chose the best image for the cover — there is a bright green view of the sun that is absolutely incredible, and some mindboggling closeups of solar prominences. check them out by using "Search Inside The Book"! If you like this sort of thing, you may also want to keep an eye on science news. For example, see this recent announcement from NASA is amazing: The Sun is Bristling With X-Ray Jets, taken using the Hinode X-Ray telescope. For more Hinode images, check out OUR SPLENDID SUN. Cordially, Fred Zimmerman Dear reader,
Welcome to the COOL MAPS series! this has been a
In the interest of setting expectations accurately, here is
Gee, I have say that’s a pretty interesting list. You do have to bear in mind that this book is printed in a 8.5 x 8.5 inch paperback format, so the images are reduced in size from their original form. These images are meant to provide interesting synoptic views of the whole country of Afghanistan, and I have to say that I am satisfied that they do just that. By all means, take a look at Search Inside the Book and judge for yourself.
This series was originally titled COOL MAPS FOR CURIOUS KIDS, but as I moved along with publication of new volumes I found that the extra words were getting in the way. Suffice it to say that this book is aimed at curious minds, aged 7 to 77!
Cordially,
Fred Zimmerman

wfzimmerman’s review: “I liked Dungy more after reading this than before. A good guy. One of the most amusing anecdotes concerns his Minnesota college team playing Ohio State in the ’80s. OSU came out on the field for warmups and Dungy thought, "hey, they don’t look so big." It turned out that those were just the skill position players, and the behemoths had not yet come on field.”
