Dateline: above the garage in Portsmouth RI, 6 February 2005

Got a fancy invite/notice from Wired magazine that lists all the nominees in the various categories. For the complete list, go to www.raveawards.com/nominees.htm.

Here is the complete list of five authors nominated:

THOMAS BARNETT

SUSANNA CLARKE

Jonathan Strange & Mrs. Norrell

O'Reilly Hacks series

JEFF HAWKINS

On Intelligence

The Wisdom of Crowds

I won't be attending the Awards Celebration at The Fillmore in San Francisco on 22 February. Wired will announce the winners that morning and then have the party that night (bit different). Someone from my partnership will show up though. I'll be in Norway giving talks to the military there.
