Cyclops cosplayer

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.

Danny also posts some really good food pr0n semi-regularly. Some of his lunches are envy-inducing.

That is pretty cool. Though the Cosplay bar has been set really really low by Japanese Tween Nazi Furries.

Google it if you dare.

  The doctor looks at him and asks, “How do your pants fit you?!?”

In my local Chinese takeaway the other night, I overheard a father telling his daughter to behave, otherwise he’d take her upstairs to see “the one-eyed girl” who was kept up there by the takeaway’s manager. Spooky.
