Election Champion is a little Android app that asks its users to snap pictures of election billboards across the UK, and plots the pics and their locations on a Google Maps mashup, tracking UK election spending by all parties. You can also play over the net. Top snappers get points, props on a leaderboard. Neat. (Thanks, Yishay!)

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.
