Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

Posted at June 25, 2008 12:43 pm | In Media | By Ben Woodruff

I’ve been listening to Little Brother by Cory Doctorow in audio book form for the last couple days, and I have to say: it’s awesome. If you haven’t heard of this book you really should check it out. You can download the text format for free from Cory’s blog.

“Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.

But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days.

When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.” - Cory Doctorow (more…)

TUAW Interviews 1Password Developers

You knew I couldn’t get by without posting at least one thing about WWDC this year.

Brett at The Unofficial Apple Weblog interviewed Dave and Roustem from Agile Web Solutions about the future of 1Password (namely on the iPhone). See the interview here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/06/18/wwdc-08-agile-web-solutions-1password/

I can’t wait until I can get an iTouch so I can actually start playing with this stuff. No iPhone for me, but an iTouch wouldn’t be out of the question.

Via Gizmodo:

Xbox Media Center, which was originally a media center for some console whose name we can’t remember, has finally come to Macs. Why would you need this when FrontRow or other media centers work just fine natively?

sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will never hurt me
and it’s been years but still i fear that someday they’ll desert me
oh, it’s hard, i know
when it’s time to stand alone
and no one understands you
