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.

The only time that I saw him, he kept saying “Be excellent to each other”. I never did figure out what he meant by that.

And, which world did you just come from, sir?

Oh, you’re not going to believe this!
I’ve just been the sheriff of Westworld for the last 2 weeks!

Ed
Did it seem real to you, sir?

Ted
It’s the realest thing I’ve ever done! I mean that!

Ed
Thank you very much.

  In fact, it looks like if she’s not careful, she could poke her eye out with that carrot!

Looks like they modeled Abe on then popular Disney TV star Fess Parker.
