Happy pixel-stained technopeasant day

Today is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, celebrated by authors giving away free, professional-quality work online in a reference to author Howard Hendrix’s controversial “webscabs rant”

You can observe it by listening to this special episode of the Time Traveler podcast on the subject of giving away your writing for free, or by downloading and reading Charlie Stross’ novella Missile Gap, released in honor of the occasion (via BoingBoing).
