As you read this, I’ll be on a plane heading for Salt Lake City, where I’ll be appearing at the Leonardo Science Museum at 2PM with my new novel Homeland. On Sunday, I’ll be in Tempe at Changing Hands books, and then on Feb 12 I’ll be in NYC for the Tools of Change conference (snow permitting!). There’s lots more appearances to come, too! Hope to see you there — we had a fantastic, standing-room-only time at Borderlands in San Francisco last night!

If the protagonists in the book Little Brother had access to a low-power mesh network, they may have been able to avert the DHS. In reality, mesh networking could help organize protests like what occurred during the Arab Spring–helping citizens to peacefully participate in an effective manner, by leveraging the self-healing and spontaneous nature of mesh networks.

Pinoccios are tiny wireless microcontrollers for makers and DIY enthusiasts. They make it easy to connect physical things to each other and to the web. Pinoccios can connect wirelessly to each other and to the Internet, and with them you can build your own sensor networks, home automation, or UAV and robotics projects.

We also have an Indiegogo campaign going on right now.

I’m still revving up my tour for Homeland, the sequel to Little Brother, and tonight I’ll be at Booksmith in San Francisco. I’m lucky enough to get two days in SFO and tomorrow I’ll be at Borderlands, before I head to Salt Lake City for an appearance at The Leonardo on Saturday. From there, it’s off to Tempe, AZ for a gig at Changing Hands on Sunday, and then off to many more cities (here’s the list). Last night’s event in Portland at the Beaverton Powell’s was amazing, with more than a hundred lovely folks in attendance, a lively Q&A and the swell atmosphere of one of the world’s great bookstores.
