Dug makes "contemporary automata," hand-cranked robots carved from wood that perform animations when they're activated. They're gorgeous tchotchkes and the videos on his site are fascinating.

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.
