John sez, "The Years is the latest release from vosotros. The album was conceived as a musical journey through time - and is made up of songs inspired by the decades, starting in the 50s and ending in the future ... Amazon recently covered the project on their list of the 'Best 2009 Albums You (Probably) Haven't Heard, But Should'. The album was released under a BY-NC-SA Creative Commons license - and is available for free download during the month of July."

John started Vosotros, a Creative Commons label, as a final project in my class at USC a couple years ago. I'm incredibly impressed with it (and I gave him an A+!).

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.
