ZOMG — Writing in the comment section of Making Light, Abi Sutherland penned this Little Brother ditty, to be sung to the tune of How Can I Keep From Singing?:

My high school days were simple once
But now that time is ending.
I’ve learned how much I have to lose
And what is worth defending.
My freedom and my privacy
Depend on one another.
And those who threaten either one
Will deal with Little Brother.

Encryption guards my web of trust
Against the infiltration
Of DHS officials who
Would pry for information.
The Xnet grows with leaps and bounds
No outside force can smother
The message spreads from peer to peer:
We all are Little Brother.

The army trucks and prison cells
That caught us and confined us
Stripped all the innocence away
That we had thought defined us.
But now we know how strong we are
When we work with each other
So anyone who’s watching us:
Watch out for Little Brother.

Boing Boing and I get another nice nod today in XKCD, Randall Munroe’s fantastic geeky comic. I’m really looking forward to meeting Randall in person for the first time at 3PiCon in Massachusetts this summer where we’ll both be guests of honor.

Instructables has just posted the latest installment in its series of HOWTOs inspired by my novel Little Brother — this time, it’s “How to blend in with a crowd.”

Stay as close to the most dense part of the crowd. It is easier to find people straggling about on the edges. It’s harder to find people that are in the middle of everything since everyone is moving around you. If people are moving in small groups through the crowd, pick a random one and pretend that you are with them by following closely behind.
