MetroNaps is a business that operates an urban napping service in the Empire State Building, offering customers the opportunity to reclilne in a hooded, electrified Bond-villain "MetroPod" and get a "lotion, facial spritz and lemon-scented hand towels" when you're done. They'll even deliver lunch to your pod. The rate is $14 (and up) for a 20 minute nap. Link (via Engadget)

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.
