To Do List
- Make an eText in English of Voltaire's Zadig (currently only available in Spanish and the original French)
- Write first science fiction novel I know of where space-dwelling humans have no conception of a 24 hour "day" or 365.25 day "year"
- Religious conservative politician from the near future is reanimated hundreds of centuries after his body has been cryopreserved. Human culture has settled space, humans worship their self-sustaining space vessels as gods.
- Get a whiteboard and some X-country skis

It will take awhile for me to figure out which it is (i havw only read 1,800 or so) but I have read a novel where the humans had no "earth standard" for time and went by local time and years. I have also come across an earth that was moved to different orbit and the standard had changed - I don't recall whether they went by "earth standard" or not. . .
I could have been more clear - I meant by "space dwelling", I meant living in a ship in space, not in any fixed orbit.
