He didn't kill a soul that he didn't proceed to revive.
I had set out to write a fun story absolutely filled to the brim with the undead, and in order to make room I had to leave out all of the forced pathos of survivors screaming "maybe we're the monsters!" Last February I posted my serialized online novel, Codex Nekromantia, to Projects. Many long months of tweaking and proofreading later, I'm happy to announce that it has been published! The ebook is available from today, but the paperback edition is delayed by a week due to Hurricane Irene fiddling with the power lines at the printing facility. Which is only fitting, considering that the book documents an (un)natural disaster.

Examples of Targeted Email Attacks
Blog providing screenshot examples of socially engineered and/or specifically targeted spear-phishing emails, intended to entice the recipient to install trojans and/or malware. These are real emails that my colleagues or I have received, and therefore the examples are generally focused on the China/Taiwan analyst community in Washington, D.C.

WTF Has Obama Done So Far?
Often the question is asked, "What the fuck has Obama done so far?". For those unimpressed people, we made this site.

Full Glass, Empty Clip
Three years on and Mefight Club, the not-very-secret-at-all offshoot community of Metafilter that likes to play games together, has decided that a public face a little more engaging than a login form might be a thing that we'd like to have. Also, you know, we're Mefites, so we're inordinately fond of typing words into boxes and hitting Post buttons. So I made this: Full Glass Empty Clip, a brand new Gaming Group Blog, written by any and all of our 850-or-so Mefight Club members who feel an urge to write something about or at least related to gaming.

Steel Mouse Pads
It'll never work! But it does. This isn't steel with a plastic or teflon coating. This is unadulterated, hot-rolled, mild steel. It's worked into various shapes, finished smooth, burnished, and customized with your own mark, if desired. The final surface treatment enhances the function of optical and laser mice while reducing friction between the pad and mouse. The pad, over time, develops a patina that improves the feel and optical pick-up. Beyond the shapes offered, I can customize your pad design to whatever fits your desk, or imagination. Customization is encouraged.

The Guide to Moral Living in Examples
It is what it says on the tin. The Guide to Moral Living in Examples is a series of speculative fiction pieces. Each vignette attempts to entertain and educate the reader on how to avoid common moral pitfalls and presents the reader with a useful nugget of advice at the end of each story, such as "be on the lookout for Hideous Telepathic Space-faring Lizardmen in Mansuits at all job interviews, because if you don’t you may as well be a Hideous Telepathic Space-faring Lizardman in a Mansuit yourself."

Eugene
If you've always wanted to read a short story told from the point of view of a half-human, half-dog, genetically modified cop, you are at long last in luck. I wrote it, and Popcorn Fiction, a website for stories by film and TV writers, has published it. (While you're there, check out the archives. All the other stories are great, but my favorites include The Flying Kreisslers by Scott Frank, screenwriter of "Dead Again" and "The Lookout"; A Best Friend Named Rick by Nichelle D. Tramble; and Steam Table Blues by Craig Ugoretz.)

Teach the Controversy
Teach The Controversy is an intelligently designed t-shirt store dedicated to challenge 'big science' and their blatant anti-wacko agenda. So I've really taken to the idea of running t-shirt stores where all the designs are based around a single unified theme, and so for my second attempt this particular creationist meme seemed ripe for parody (while hopefully not being to shrill or strident in my ribbing). Hope you enjoy them!

Rails-O-Matic
Rails-O-Matic makes it easy as pie to start a new Ruby on Rails project by automatically setting up subversion, a trac instance, a dedicated development server, automating deployment to that server, automatically running unit tests and code coverage, and more. If you're a Rails developer or enthusiastic about becoming one, I could really use some beta testers. Did I mention it will be free for the beta testers?

One Day The Soldiers Came
My first book was just published and I have a website to go along with it, with it a blog. The book presents the stories of children affected by armed conflict and 60% of my royalties go to benefit the advocacy organization Refugees International . The book contains a lot of drawings made by children around the world in refugee camps, shanty towns, and demobilization and rehabilitation centers, and there are many more unpublished drawings I collected from kids in Africa, Asia, and the Balkans. These images and some background on them will be collected in a virtual gallery on the website, providing an unique perspective on the madness that is modern warfare.

A Project Investigating Happiness
As happiness has popped up as a topic of discussion recently on MeFi and AskMe, it seems reasonable to ask: can the Internet actually make people qualitatively, authentically happier? Well, it so happens that I am working on that. I'll need beta testers before too long :-).
