All sorts of stuff, not sure what to put yet. I'll list Van's favorite Brazilian tecno-brega band for now: Carioca Probidao. They were great to see in concert.
Hi there. Here's where you can find out all about the book, Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. And I'll be posting all about surveillance tactics, and what you can do about it. I'll also help explain some of the fun techno examples covered in the book and anything else in there you'd like to talk about too.

This book is pretty darn special. I'm on a personal crusade to get it into the hands of as many people as possible. Well, until my next crusade comes along.
My newest favorite book. You came to my school and talked about it and you were signing copies, but I didn't have any money at the time, so when I went home I downloaded the book on my phone and I read the whole thing in about 4 hours. Then the next day I brought money and I got a signed copy and I read it AGAIN! It's one of those books that you want to read over and over again.
...on hitting the NY Times Kids Bestseller List AND the Booksense Children's Interest bestseller list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every once in a while, you find a book that draws you in at the introduction and keeps you awake until you have finished every word. Every once in a while, you find a book that changes you, and you tell all of your friends, family, and co-workers. Thank you so much for your amazing book, Mr. Cory Doctorow!
