The Miro project -- overseen by the charitable nonprofit Participatory Culture Foundation -- has a new line of great fundraising tees. Proceeds pay hackers who improve Miro the free, open platform for video distribution that makes it easy for anyone to publish or subscribe to Internet TV stations without getting locked into proprietary software. Miro combines BitTorrent, RSS reading, and the VLC video-player, and is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

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.
