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.

    I like it but for my money I prefer this video for Peaches “Fuck the Pain Away”. http://youtu.be/-aGTNS13SDU 
    Done by a high schooler for a class project. And hey, it’s got Animal!

    Personally, I prefer when the aliens discover dubstep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePN5z-6MSoI

      I’m from the [Sesame] Street, cousin!  You know the drill!

      Actually the more I watch that brutal one the more I like it.  I think it’s my favorite.

      Those are the most metal fucking muppets I’ve ever seen.

    This Lil’ Jon/LazyTown mashup is a gem too.

    Would love to see “Sabotage” in the same style.

    I know it’s going to be a great day when it starts with something like this!

    I still mourn the passing of Oscar the Grouch.  May his Karma be purified; may he be liberated from the wheel of Samsara.

    There’s a definite art to  be found in taking something that is the essence of childhood purity and flawlessly debasing it.
