I'm 39 tomorrow (and Disneyland is 55) (though these facts are not related), so I am taking some time off from the machine to celebrate. See you Monday!

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.

Hackers prepare for first "national holiday" in their honor

    you should celebrate it by going to disneyland!
    and by finding new incredible banana related things–”just look at it!” and then somehow combine the three items, a birthday, disneyland, and super cool banana related things into a futuristic sci fi novel titled “just look at it! down and out with a frozen banana on a stick in the magic kingdom.”
