Brando's Chromatic Hub is a four-part USB 2 hub in the form of a fully articulated Jacob's Ladder toy. It's hella cute, and I'm thinking that having the ability to twist and torque my hub to conform to the physical limitations of my desk and its tchotchkes would be extremely useful.

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.
