Dan Sinker/now

I always have a lot going on, here's what I'm doing now:

I'm writing I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS! for Haymarket Books

while hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who

and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …

and shipping the patches and stickers I made for you …

and also making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club

and OK that's enough.
