Filed under: cellphones hacks Crafting isn't really our thing, but just last week we were planning on doing this project.

När nu Cory Doctorow är i landet hoppas jag verkligen att något mediautlopp, i dessa överhettade FRA-tider, passar på att intervjua honom.

Hectic, even if it seemed more sedate than the most recent New York-based BEA. For me, of course, it was a nice, easy ...

Last week I read Cory Doctorow’s latest novel: Little Brother. This is his first “YA” (young adult) book but don’t let that fool you, this book could be enjoyed by all ages. (There’s a whole ‘nother digression here about how YA fiction is actually really vibrant right now and in fact is probably doi ...

Last night, Cory Doctorow was at Borderlands Books in San Francisco promoting his new book, Little Brother. He spent some time answering questions from the audience on a variety of subjects, from his opinion on the Orphan Works Bill (he is in favor of it) to what is the definition of a young adult ( ...

Saturday, May 17th @ 7:30pm Elliot Bay Book Co. 101 S Main St. (Pioneer Square) Is it fair to call Cory Doctorow the patron saint of blogging? Maybe that’s a bit over-the-top.
