The attendees at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference had a high old time, despite my absence. Evidence of the intersection of MacOS hackers and Free Software advocates: they put together half a dozen parodies of the Apple "Switch" ads, using an iBook and iMovie, natch. My favorites are Nat Torkington's sarcastic paeon to Python (starring his ass, no less!) and Sarah Burcham's "I'm Just a Girl" rationale for adopting XP over Linux. Link Discuss (via Raelity Bytes)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
