Jon sez, "The Department of Special Collections at the University of California at San Barbara Library just placed online 5000 cylinder recordings from the 1890s to the 1920s. They are freely accessible, and even the original (raw) transfers are available for those who want to restore them. Note the sidebar at the web site talking about many cylinders still covered under State copyright law restrictions until 2067!" Link (Thanks, Jon!)

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.
