Stuff that only exists on a 3.5&#8243; Atari ST disk (or a 5.25&#8243; Atari 800 disk), and we think we saw the disk sometime in 1993, aren&#8217;t easily converted to e-book formats. But, we&#8217;re doing it. Fifteen stories so far (roughly half of our corpus), with more to come.<\/p>\n<p>These are promulgating across the world of e-publishing even as we speak; some are available on the Nook, for example; I&#8217;m told that others may be in the Apple store, or as apps for assorted mobile phones and such.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/stories\">stories<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/ebooks\">ebooks<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/making-light\">making-light<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/sf\">sf<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cracked.com\/article_19174_5-unexpected-downsides-high-intelligence.html\">5 Unexpected Downsides of High Intelligence | Cracked.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;You know that phrase, &#8220;Ignorance is bliss&#8221;?
