So... Dominoe's is testing a self-driving car for pizza delivery.
If you don't tip the car, is it going to shock you?

You've sparked my interest, it's a subject anode something about.

So I wrote a short story, sent it off and it's been accepted for publication in a SF mag - and will be broadcast on radio and podcast.
I'm not actually getting paid - but I'm still pretty excited, and was passing by so thought I'd share!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah - well to be honest it took as long to write the story as it did to create my firstborn....

Not as fun though, I hope. 
Good for you though. My mom has published a few books and it was a ton of work. Not quite the same but I can imagine the amount of time and effort it took.

I can only hope that both were properly developed at delivery.

I should have been here to volunteer  . I love LOTR, and a friend of mine is writing something similar for which I am a volunteer proof reader.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.
