There's a new short story anthology by Paolo Bacigalupi available on Baen (Pump Six and Other Stories). Baen has the laudable habit of putting some sample chapters online and this leads to three short stories being online for free.
They are:
A Handful of Dharma
The Fluted Girl
The People of Sand and Slag
Every single one of those stories is a jewel! You can find 'em here:

The anthology is available in multiformat here (sans DRM):
http://www.webscription.net/p-1176-p...r-stories.aspx for a measly 6$.
Paolo is one of my favorite authors right now!
