Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our Joel's spotted a rara avis from the criminal underground:
Local man finds card skimmer on ATM
A Consumerist reader found a card skimmer on a WaMu ATM. He ripped it off and reported it to the police and the bank. The police said they'd never actually seen one in real life.I always check for card skimmers at the ATM by smashing the front repeatedly with a sledgehammer, starting with the camera.

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.
