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.

Great, something else to trip over at night besides a cat. Not to mention the cholesterol.

Give me a french toast or waffle rug and I’ll be impressed..

Reminds me of that old joke punch line, “…then I woke up and found I was eating the pillow.”

Reminds me of a rug I recently purchased, which though not of food, was certainly of the ‘take something in nature and recreate it as a rug’ type of rug:

  LMAO! That reminds me of the felted rugs my “hippie” aunt used to make back in the 70s! She marketed them as Stoned Rugs – sold a pile of them!

    :D
    
    The actual rug is made quite well (.5″-1″ thick, as it is dimensional), but has elicited varying responses. My favorite was the store associate, who asked me, “Doesn’t that rug come with a free moose head?”.

Cool! All it needs is a woven bacon strip blanket for when you’re reading a book on the rug, or having a lie down.

Mmmm bacon!

This would go great with the two egg umbrellas I saw in downtown Chicago.

It’s cool, but it’s missing a ketchup smile. :(

Nobody’s made a “this is your brain on rugs” joke yet? For shame.

Clever design. Speaking of rugs… of which I’m a rugmaker, we should make you guys a BoingBoing rug – our specialty is logorugs. Heck, as a long time BB-fan, I’d do it gratis… just tell me where to send it.

  Did you mean “fried eyeballs” or am I just unable to bear the thought that “friend eyeballs” is correct?

I agree w/ Irksome – I see it and think “tripping hazard”. Looka like a nightmare to vacuum, or would you have to use some sort of lint brush on the yolks?

Are the yolks filled with gel?
