Boutique hotels are adding videogame hardware, HD sets that you can plug your Xbox into, and iPod/MP3-player docking stations for their clock-radios -- one hotel even has a video-game "butler" on staff who'll come to your room and show you how to get past the hard parts in your favorite games:
At the Viceroy, which is owned by the Kor Hotel Group, guests can check out a Sony PlayStation 2 or PlayStation Portable device free of charge. Then, if necessary, they can call on Mr. Conway, a "self-diagnosed videogame addict," to coach them on the finer points of popular games like "Twisted Metal: Head-On" or "Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee."

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.
