Dan sez, "I just learned that Super Awesome Sylvia, who has been featured on Boing Boing a couple times, is raising funds on Indiegogo for a trip to the Open Hardware Summit and Maker Faire in New York. Not only is Sylvia planning on attending the summit, she is also going to be presenting as well."

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.

It’s making me happy to see Indiegogo projects featured here. :)

I whined like a sad puppy ‘cos only kickstarter was getting BB lovings, but now that other crowdsourcing stuffs are getting the BB lovings too, I’m a very happy puppy :D
