Self-congratulation
Just to let you know that yours truly submitted a story suggestion to Technovelgy, and they went and ran it! Technovelgy is a site that discusses new technologies or products that have been written about by science fiction authors beforehand. The story I submitted was about a new kind of soft-drink bottle that allows you to select the flavour you want by pressing a button; the concept was used in a story called ‘Solace’ by author Jeff Noon back in 1997.

[...] Just to boast that I sent a second (this has happened before) successful tip-off to the lovely people at Technovelgy, a great website devoted to reporting on new inventions that were written about in science fiction long before they actually hit the streets. Read the full article about advertising on airships (a la Blade Runner), and then have a good look around at the other stuff on the site. If you like what you read here, you’ll probably quite enjoy Technovelgy too. [...]
