Rebar snakes

Mark Rees, an artist in Suffolk, Virginia, makes cool snakes out of rebar (he's also got a line of reworked horseshoe sculptures): "After the head is formed, it is just a process of bending and twisting until it looks like a snake that was going somewhere and was startled into a defensive position."

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.

Learning to charm one of these snakes using magnets would be way faster than learning to play the flute! Less trips to the hospital too!

I’d have trouble getting them to sit flat like that. I’d be all like, “I want these M@#%$ing snakes in a plane!”
