Review: eastern standard tribe by Cory Doctorow
Yes, the title is lower-case.
This is my first novel-length story from Cory, a good 'ol canuck. The story follows Art Berry, an EST-born dude living in the GMT timezone. The major premise of the story is that Art feels loyalty to his EST timezone and works as an agent-provocateur by working for an England firm and introducing complexity into projects given to him in order to sabotage them. This way, he gets the GMT-based company in hot water, and makes EST-based companies look better in comparison. Read more
HerdOfCats, the new Slashdot ?

Blackwalt, how I hate thee...
And not my regular constant seething hate, but a more poignant, musical hate. And this occurred to me at 6am this morning.
Gabba: "I don't know how to plug in the microphone, go and wake up daddy..."
Bouzie: "'K!" bom bom bom bom
Bouzie: "Daddy! Wake up!"
Me: "Mhhhrrmh ?"
Bouzie: "Wake up!"
Me: "Why ?"
Bouzie: "Wake up!"
Yes, love was in the air this morning...
