Austin's Claudia Smith reads fiction this week. Her stories have appeared in several online and print literary journals. Her piece, My Lawrence, will appear in W.W. Norton's The New Sudden Fiction, due in January 2007.  You can find more of her work at Claudia's website.  The story she performs, Possum, may be read online at Juked.

Also featuring plenty of potpourri: Better; Mirror; Additive Headlines Experiment #7; and Lunch Money.

Let's prepare ourselves for post-election disappointment now by saluting Travis Bickle, bearer of all our burdens.  Includes the story The Message is the Median. Also, these songs: Treason; I See; America; The Word; Malaria; and Mr. Scriabin. I'm not promoting what "happens" in the film, but, as Chris Rock would say, I understand.

This week's show will upgrade your brain to a major new patch. Improvements include Brainshower, In Seven Hours It Will Happen, The Accidental Flasher, and Madeline. The brief download was designed by Paul A. Toth and corrects numerous programming defects that either inadvertently evolved or were produced by the software's creator.  Also featured are two Additive Headlines experiments.
