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.

Made By Dad: 67 Blueprints for Making Cool Stuff - excerpt

    MY HEART. <3 That little British accent, those perfectly reworked lyrics. Excellent Christmas card for heart-melting sweetness.

    Seriously that made me want to cry from the cute.

    “MY DAD IS WRONG!” :D

    I can imagine Poesy in the future, being confused why many of her peers are anxious about public speaking, an activity that she will no doubt enjoy :-)

      “MY DAD IS WRONG!”

      Sounds like Cory has finally met his match, should be careful she doesn’t get headhunted by the MPAA.

      That seriously adorable, happy holidays boingboing.

    The is the audio equivalent of adorable kitten gifs.

    She has five different Canadian accents, adding to the cuteitude.

    You’ll go down in MYSTERY

  • Fang Xianfu

    My favourite part was “and they shouted out with 1337″ – she’s getting started on the netspeak early! :D

    • jimh

      Came to say that I think the “shouting out with 1337″ and “you’ll go down in mystery” achieved a perfect balance!

  • millie fink

    “And if you ever sore it . . .”  ;)

    • Wreckrob8

      Most British accents are non-rhotic and are more than happy with epenthetic non-etymological intervocalic r’s in certain positions. Nothing sounds more stilted to us than purists trying to remove them.

  • Paul Renault

    Making your children work!  Cory, you’re fully British now.

    • Wreckrob8

      You have to work to get fed. A great British tradition (like the workhouse?) which the Tories are determined to reintroduce as fast as possible.
