Well I was looking around stalking on Google+ and found that Mr. Stephenson has a profile. And after searching I thought hey someone made a profile, I wonder if it was really him…the about section made me laugh out loud. And I quote, “Neal Stephenson, the author. But that’s exactly what I would claim if I were faking it.” So the mystery continues…

HarperCollins had this on their site, I ran into it this morning. Have to wait until September (thank you for helping me realize that this happens to be the ninth month in our calendar) 13th but that is not too long to wait I mean after all we found out about the book deal quite a while ago…but it looks like a short one 960 pages. Other than that not much else for details on site. It will be nice to have a good book this fall, wow here I am looking forward to fall and we still have snow on the ground around here. I mean that is two whole seasons and almost seven months away…

Here is some info on a serialized story created by Mr. Stephenson and being written by himself and Greg Bear, Nicole Galland, Mark Teppo. So that right there is pretty interesting, but now for the interesting part is that it is being sold/told via a custom app available for your iPhone/iEtc, Kindle and Android. They have a Facebook page that has the details about the launch that takes places Tuesday at the SF App Show, so if you are in San Francisco you might want to check it out.

Io9 has a story that Mr. Stephenson has just agreed to a new deal that comes with a significant sum of money and here is the but it is classified as a Thriller. Is that a big deal to you? I am still not sure if that means that the present age is creepy enough that there is more fiction and less science or it is going to be more a departure from past works and move in a new direction…I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Not quite Van Eck Phreaking, but cool none the less.

While not Van Eck Phreaking, being able to eavesdrop on what is being typed in a different room by monitoring the common ground wire of the electic outlet is still cool. The BBC’s article Snooping through the power socket outlines the attack.
