Gordon sez, "Extensive site documenting (with many interesting close-up photos) the process of creating a handmade analog wristwatch. Including the movement!" My grandfather was a watchmaker who learned his trade in the Soviet Union while he was a war-refugee. He had a huge desk full of tens of thousands of movements and partial movements and I loved playing with them -- he even taught me a little of the trade. I had thought it would be like computer programming, but it's really nothing like it -- more like building an incredibly elaborate game of Mousetrap through a microscope.

(Thanks, Gordon!)
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.
