New Infinite Matrix ish with my "Nimby and the D-Hoppers," Tesanovic, and Dubinianska
Infinite Matrix editor Eileen Gunn sez, "I've put up a new issue of the Infinite Matrix -- in honor of Cory's birthday and because I have three great stories the world needs to read: a reprint of Cory's fine Nimby and the Dimension Hoppers and two excellent stories by writers from Eastern Europe: Serbian activist and writer Yasmina Tesanovic's charming Cats and Cars at and Ukrainian SF writer Yana Dubinianska's spine-tingling Barge over Black Water. "
Nimby and the D-Hoppers is one of my most widely reprinted stories, and it's one of a very small handful of stories that I hadn't yet published for free online, though it has been released as CC-licensed podcasts and a CC licensed comic. As with the other adaptations, the text is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.
And yup, yesterday was my birthday! I'm 37, which means I'm now in my prime. It sure beats being a total square at 36. Link

Happy late B-Day Cory.
Now I'll have to have my pops read this one too....and like the East[ern Euro]/West synergy!
Happy birthday!
Congratulations! You are now beating the average age in at least three countries!

On a less depressing note, the title "New Infinite Matrix ish with my "Nimby and the D-Hoppers," Tesanovic, and Dubinianska" is possibly the least decipherable thing I've read this week.
It could be the text of quite a few of the "beat the spam-detector" emails I've seen.
Good read Cory. I didn't actually mean to read it just now, just bookmark for later, but I got drawn in.
I wish the Nimby hopper armor illustration (above) didn't seem quite so similar to a well-known videogame character, though. The story doesn't specify many details of the armor, which I liked, but I fear I know exactly where the illustrator picked up additional inspiration. Detracts from the coolness of the background and the pose IMHO.
Great story! I hope your birthday was a transdimensional one.
Happy Birthday Cory!
37 is a fine prime number of years old to be. I'm 46 but an hardly wait to be 47! My favorite prime right now would be "Grothendieck's Prime" , 57 - which isn't prime at all (see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/57_(number) ).
Happy Birthday, Cory!
Take it from me, the best is yet to come.
Happy birthday C! Good job making it this far, as I always say =)
Bookmarked for reading once I finish Mistborn! Been eating that up this week...
Dude! Happy birthday! You share the day with and some auspicious, crucial, and bizarre events.
1918: Bolsheviks put an end to Nicholas II in Ekaterinburg
1938: Douglas 'Wrong Way' Corrigan made aviation history when he "mistakenly" flew from New York to Ireland
1945: Churchill, Stalin, and Truman began their Potsdam Conference
1955: Disneyland held its grand opening (it was televised!)
1962: The 'Little Feller' test shot was the last atmospheric nuke detonated
1968: The Iraq Revolution brought the Ba'ath Party to power.
1975: Tom Stafford and Alexei Leonov shook hands through the open hatches of their docked spacecraft, an American Apollo and a Soviet Soyuz
There are also some very inventive, adventurous, and creative people associated with that day, among others: James Shay (invented the early steam locomotive), James Cagney, Donald Sutherland, Spencer Davis, Phoebe Snow, and . . . Camilla (Duchess of Cornwall).
I should have picked up on this yesterday, but I was too busy celebrating MY birthday. yup, the 17th! :-)
