October 14, 2002 The Index is now located at http://www.chriswaltrip.com/sterling. A notice redirecting readers to the new address has been left at the old location. Please update your links. September 30, 2002 Bruce hosted EFF outreach coordinator and science fiction novelist Cory Doctorow at the Viridian Vatican this weekend. Cory was in town for an Austin appearance and a Turkey City SF Writers' Workshop, and Bruce threw one of his Viridian open-house parties. 21st Century online magazine has relaunched, with Bruce confirmed as a regular contributor. The front page has been updated, and a bad link for Bruce's 2001 'Business UnUsual' keynote address has been fixed on the Speeches page. The Sterling FAQ from Mirrorshades has been added to the Links page. The "open new window" JavaScript has been removed from all of the pages. September 12, 2002 The Bruce Sterling Online Index is five years old today! Comics writer Warren Ellis, in his weblog, mentions a piece that Bruce did on how he'd write James Bond: "I've read most of the Ian Fleming novels, seen most of the films once they've come to TV. I'm not a fanatic by any means. But James Bond exerts a terrible fascination nonetheless. I even did an interview piece on how I'd write Bond for a Texan newspaper a couple of years ago. So did Bruce Sterling, who offered a disturbing opinion about Bond as a shaven-headed Ibiza DJ. You're going to hell for that one, Bruce, and you will discover that Satan is English." If anyone has a copy of Bruce's piece about Bond and could email me a copy, I'd love to add it to the site. Bruce also gave a plug for the back cover of one of the trade paperbacks of Ellis' cyberpunk comic, Transmetropolitan. August 9, 2002 Three new speeches added: "A Contrarian View of Open Source," "911.net," and the keynote address at the 2001 Business UnUsual design conference. Added an article from Metropolis magazine, "The Factory of the Future," to the Miscellaneous page. The "Contrarian View of Open Source" speech was discussed at Metafilter, and also at Slashdot. Finally, the 2002 5k Design Contest posted its winners. There's a link on the front page, since Bruce was a judge. July 9, 2002 "Without Vision, The People Perish" added to the Speeches page. July 1, 2002 Bruce has a new speech available online, discussing his view of the state of computer science: "Without Vision, The People Perish". I'm on vacation and won't be able to update the website until next week, so I thought I'd link it here in the meantime. June 25, 2002 The 5K Web Design Contest has posted this year's entries.
