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.

finally QR codes are getting traction – only been harping about them for 3 years.

Now if only we could get some marketers to build some interesting commercial campaigns we can finally start using them everyday.

Like you, Anon #1, I find it odd that the humble cupcake now includes any item curiously perched atop. Now, had this been a cupcake iced with QR code, I may have found myself agog with wonder. Sadly I am now awash with unmet expectations and a slight gnawing hunger. Shame on you, Clever Cupcakes Montreal.

does a cupcake possess the power to subsume any object balanced upon it into the status of cupcakehood? if i were to balance a pencil atop a scrummy cupcake would that pencil then become a bit of cupcake? i wouldn’t be a twit and question this issue but this involves cupcakes dammit!
