It must have been something in the air.
Take a look at this!

I saw this link on BoingBoing and literally yelped out loud.
The person sitting at the table next to me, here at Rhino’s, jumped in his seat.
I didn’t bother to explain. It doesn’t matter. It’s not that big a deal. But there’s […]

What again?
Yup.
Every Friday (more or less) I provide a whack of links to previous posts that may have become undeservedly submerged beneath all the other blather and crap I pour onto these pages.
Consider it a form of instant nostalgia.
Speaking of nostalgia there is a pithy and revealng legal article regarding the status of that rodent […]

It’s officially summer.
School’s out and Henry is at home.
Wheee!
I’m going to have fun. I’m going to have fun. I’m going to have fun.
And I’m going to get work done.

Just a brief thing. EFF has filed an amicus brief urging a California court to overturn a dangerous ruling that would require an Internet search engine to create and store logs of its users’ activities as part of electronic discovery obligations in a civil lawsuit.

The ruling came in a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by […]

Cool. I found this on PrezVid. Chris Dodd is using YouTube to get voters to take their own video cameras and approach their senators and congressmen, asking them to talk about Iraq and to give their stand on the Dodd amendment, which would require starting to pull out of Iraq in 30 days, […]

Jeff Jarvis posted an interesting thing on how we view our public and private personas and how blogging (and other aspects of online life) are exposing our lives to scrutiny in ever more detailed and lasting ways.
It’s just a brief post he made but he’s going to follow it up with others on the same […]

Gizmodo reports that this new device “allows you to see and feel images.”
We’re going to see more and more of this where our experience online becomes emeshed with our real world experiences. We’re either going to become very smart monkeys or complete drivelling fools. I suspect that in 50 years time we probably […]

Rolling Stone has posted the first part of a two part series, written by Brian Hiatt and Evan Serpick, entitled: The Record Industries Decline.
Tomorrow they will focus on the future but this posting is good to read because it details just how dirt stupid the recording industry was back in the days of Napster. […]

I have no idea what that title means either. Leave me alone.

And I have no idea why I put that video there, except maybe because, as the instructor said: “Feel that and accept it as the truth.” And now turn your head and cough.
I’ve been stumbing over a number of posts and […]

Here’s another one from Gizmodo about how Apple’s iTunes has become the third largest US music retailer.

And Apple got there by dragging, kicking and screaming, the entire fucking neolithic music industry retards along for the ride. Happy now boys? No? Okay, go sue some more grandmothers. Get outah here.
Now if only […]

I’m not sure where this came from. I suspect (from the closing credits) it’s France. But if you’ve ever been in Second Life you’ll laugh until you stop.
If you’ve never been to Second Life I would highly recommend it, and not just for putting this video into context. The kind of immersive […]

I want one of these for Christmas! No! For my fiftieth birthday. Pleeeeeeeeeeze? I neeeeeeed it.
I found this on Gizmodo:

I thought the folks using wing suits were nuts but this is frickin’ certifiable bugnuts!
Sign me up!

If you’ve never heard of the TED Talks, held every year in Monterey, you should treat yourself to a visit to their site. There is a wealth of archived videos of these exceptional talks given by extraordinary minds. My iPod is crammed with these things.
The latest post is of Hans Rosling, and his […]

There may be more for me to blog about later today but right at this moment it is just too beautiful outside for me to be stuck in front of this heinous machine any longer. I’m outah here!

It is worth noting though that today marks the 10th anniversary of the EFF’s success in court […]
