A longer and more extensively edited final version of this post appears on Medium.

A talk on recent paintings by Rudy Rucker.

———— This is part 2 of a long blog post.

I’ve been hanging around with Barb Ash a lot.

My new novel, and a journal about writing it.

Time to catch up on my photos.

Getting fully caught up now.

In January, 2025, my girlfriend Barb Ash and I took a two-week trip to Quintana Roo and the Yucatan in Mexico.

Barb and I went to Mexico for a couple of weeks in January, 2025, on the Yucatan peninsula.

And now came bad news from Louisville.

In late September, 2024, Barb and I went to Lowlands for two and half weeks.

For this image, I pasted a sample from from one of my paintings onto an AI image of a writer and a robot.

Early in 2024 I started spending time with Barb Ash, who I met in the Los Gatos Coffee Roasting.

This is the text of “Big Germs,” a strongly anti-gun story that I read at the SF in SF gathering in San Francisco on Sunday, June 23, 2024.

Alien invasions and interspecies war are played-out tropes.

On March 30, 2024, I spoke at an event sponsored by City Lights books, in honor of Terry Bisson.

Over the years I’ve written two non-fiction books on the fourth dimension, edited a book of C.

This describes an experiment with with ChatGPT that I made on Jan 17, 2024.

Most of the material in this blog post is drawn from an email interview of me by my old pal John Shirley, for the terrific new ezine Instant Future , run by Brock Hinzmann and John.

The grief is still quite harsh; it comes and goes.

This post is based on an email interview that my long-time corrspondent Giulio Prisco made with me for his own website, Turing Church.

My wife Sylvia died on January 6, 2023.

I’m done with space paitnings for now.

“Ahna bogbog du smeepy flan,” as the prehistoric Egyptian potter says in my ultrapunk 1983 story “Buzz.” I finished a big new painting, Space Jellies.

Still flipping out on clouds after Sweden.

After I gave my talk in Helsinki, Sylvia and I went and spent five days in Stockholm.

Early in August, 2022, Sylvia and I took a trip to Scandinavia.

August 1, 2022.

Talk by Rudy Rucker for the Bridges conference on Art and Mathematics at Aalto University, Helsinki, 11am, August 1, 2022.

I recenlty read Jennifer Egan’s great novels A Visit from the Goon Squad and The Candy House.

Ten or fifteen years back Bruce Sterling told me that the blog as a communications medium would die.

The Best of Rudy Rucker Bundle from Jason Chen includes twelve volumes.

About three weeks ago, I went for a hike in Castle Rock Park, alone, going far, and I talked to a plant for a long time.

Where do I get my ideas for science fiction?

These poems were my way of beginning to be a writer.

You can have anything you want.
