Len Peralta was kind enough to feature me in his Geek-a-Week trading card series (collect the whole set -- including Morgan Webb, John Hodgman, Jonathan Coulton, Jasmine Kobayashi and many, many more!). There's also an accompanying podcast.

On the subject of matters personal: if you're in the DC area, I hope to see you -- I'm at Red Emma's bookstore in Baltimore today, at 3PM (event co-sponsored by Baltimore Node). Tomorrow night, I'm at Copynight at New America Foundation, at 630, event co-sponsored by Public Knowledge.

And if you're at the American Library Association conference in DC, I hope to catch you Monday morning at 1030AM at the Science Fiction Past Present and Future Program, Convention Center 209A.B.

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.

    I see the goggles, but where is the cape?

    Reminds me of this classic from suck.com:

    Much as I enjoy ‘Fairly OddParents’ et al., it’s a shame to see Cory’s superhero cape worn by Fred Seibert. I mean, c’mon–when xkcd sets the canon, you’re supposed to play along with it ;-)

    Steampunk as the #3 tag; really? What happened to the freedom-fighting, Apple-bashing, agitprop-ing, librarian-loving, EFFin’ rabble rouser we’ve come to know? Of course, the ‘steampunk’ label sets the stage for that fine leather waistcoat (or is it a jerkin?)…but it ain’t no cape!

    Where’s the set of iPod headphones hanging out of his lapel – so carefully arranged at just the right length.

    Just look at it!
