Books: Little Brother – Cory Doctorow
Moments after I finished Little Brother I wrote Cory: Just finished Little Brother – sweet jebus man! I generally like your stuff but you’ve never made me cry before! Bravo! This goes on the shelf of ‘must reads’ for my kids too, to be sure. If you show up
Married to the Sea
The always interesting and oft times quirky Married to the Sea does Steampunk. I’m telling ya, getting made fun of is one of the important milestones on the path to world domination.
Artifacts for Steampunk Seditionists and Soldiers
Ben is making these wonderful wartime posters from a different now and selling them on Etsy. There are five in the series and they vary from the menacing one you see here to the inspirational and slightly Orwellian; "When We Mesh, We Succeed." See the rest at Attempted Artistry's

The California Steampunk Convention
I’ve been booked for the first ever California Steampunk Convention in Sunnyvale, California – October 31 through November 2! I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be doing but there is sufficient time to put together a really bitch’n presentation and/or demo! I’ll also be participating in a discussion panel
