A series of Ringworld based Quicktime VRs created by Fred S. Kuentz of ARTIMATION 

Fred has created scrollable views of the Ringworld, covering over 180º of arc.  I feel that the animation of the Ringworld in space encompassing its central star and also of the shot of the Ring Wall are particularly effective (strangely enough, this is the first time that an artist has showed the one of the 1,000 mile high edges of the Ringworld close up). To use these animations and view them properly, download Quicktime (v4 or later), to manipulate the animations put your cursor on the viewing window and then click and drag the view around, have fun!

The Phlogiston Belt: Changing Science and the Hard SF Writer (20Mb MP3 56Kbps 50 min)

Larry comments on how his first story, The Coldest Place was obsolete almost before it was published when the first space probes approached Mercury and found that it was not a one face planet, and also on the phenomenon of Flash Crowds on Internet websites.

This MP3 recording, made by Steven R. Station at the recent Phil Con (or MilPhil) is of Larry Niven, Stephen Baxter, Jack McDevitt (M), Derryl Murphy, and Stanley Schmidt at a panel entitled "The Phlogiston Belt: Changing Science and the Hard SF Writer" where they discuss how *real* recent  scientific discoveries invalidate their stories.
