 NewsReading from Little Brother, my May, 2008 young adult novelHere's a reading from my forthcoming young adult novel, "Little Brother," about San Francisco hacker kids who fight back against the Department of Homeland Security. Tor will publish it in May, 2008. I really went to town on the samples and mixing in this one, hauling out Audacity, the free/open sound-editing program, and grabbing a boatload of samples from the Freesound project, and a little punk guitar from the Anchormen, a great Boston act. This reading is licensed Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike 3.0. Here are the credits for the samples: Speaking at the LA Times Festival of Books this SundayI'm headed to the LA Times Festival of Books this Sunday, April 29 to appear on a science fiction panel with Kage Baker Harry Turtledove and John Scalzi called "Science Fiction: The Road From Here to There." Hope to see you there! Next Tues, May 1: USC Free Culture sendoff and BBQNext Tuesday, May 1, is my last teaching day at the University of Southern California in LA. This year, I've had the privilege of being faculty advisor for the USC FreeCulture club, and we're having an end-of-year barbecue to celebrate a fine semester after class. All are invited -- see you there! Eastern Standard Tribe is a podiobook — and banned in Boston!
Podiobooks are free audiobooks that are delivered to your podcast player in installments. Instead of getting a full ten hours of audio in one go, the story is sent to you in manageable chunks, on the schedule you set. The raw audio for this podiobook came from my podcast, but the Podiobooks people have taken my readings and cleaned them up, cut out the intros, and equalized the levels across all the installments. It sounds dynamite. The timing on this couldn't be better -- this is just in time for International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, when Internet creators post free material for sharing and enjoying. What's more, this book also has the distinction of having been banned by the Mayor of Boston from Boston's free WiFi network (Boing Boing is also banned!) I'm especially proud of this, since part of the book is set in Boston. I'm lucky to have been censored by the best. (Thanks, Evo and David!) Peter Gutmann’s A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection, Part 4 – CONCLUSIONHere's part four -- the conclusion -- of my reading of Peter Gutmann's "A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection," an amazing paper on DRM that was first published in late 2006. Locus Award finalists – I’m a double nominee!
