I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

Happy book birthday to Automatic Noodle, which is all about three things I love: biang biang noodles, San Francisco, and robots. Catch me on book tour, and pick up one of these amazing t-shirts or other swag at automaticnoodle.website (yes, this is the exact URL the robots use in the book).

My latest column for @newscientist.com is about what robots might really be like in the future (squishy!), but also why bots became a metaphor for immigrants in my new book Automatic Noodle. You can read the article now, by making a free account! www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...
