Last Friday Michael Geist gave a talk to the Canadian University Press National Conference entitled: “Why Copyright?”

His talk is available online as a Pod Cast and the slides which accompanied his talk are available on his post about the event.
Geist continues to be exemplary source of clear and concise knowledge about copyright law reform […]

The University of San Francisco is hosting a panel discussion on Net Neutrality today and I’m watching it, as I type these words, live on Ustream.tv.
It’s being held at the Fromm Institute on the univeristy’s main campus and is described on the site as:

A gathering where the legal community will join together with political scientists, […]

My friend Ben sent me this and I laughed until I stopped.

I love Eddie Izzard - the funniest male comedian in a dress - better than Milton Berle and a damned sight more attractive.
I posted this because I felt I had to post something! There’s sooo much to blog about that I’m feeling a […]

This has been around for a while but I thought I’d stick it up here before I dash out.
Human beings are a silly bunch of monkeys but sometimes we get things right. This is my way of reaching out today and giving everyone I know a quick hug.

.
The future will be better tomorrow.
Cheers.

It’s one of those days.
On days like these I take great solace in visiting Zombo.com - where anything is possible.
Cheers

Michael Geist has created 8 key points that should guide and inform any debate, public discussions and ultimately any parliamentary vote on copyright reform in Canada. Go to his site and read the whole post but here, in a nutshell, is what Geist proposes:

Take the Copyright Pledge. All Members of Parliament should be […]

World Images has posted a whack of classic U.S. World War II Posters. They were created for another culture in another time and then, as now, they would readily and rightly be called “propaganda”.
They evoke a time when (at least culturally) America was regarded as the Good Guys involved in the Good Fight.
Time to […]

I’m in heaven.
Over at Wired’s blog UnderWire they have a post on some astonishingly beautiful new designs for air ships.
Call them dirigibles, call them zepplins, call them blimps if you want to - they’re air ships.
Every kid who’s read Kenneth Oppel’s Airborn knows that.
I have always always always been entranced by these graceful craft and […]

Found this via Digg. It’s an amazing, fast-paced, “documentary” on how the Battle of Omaha Beach at Normandy in 1945 was re-created by 3 guys in 4 days using digital gear available to anybody who wants to shoot shit with a camera. Who needs a big “Saving Private Ryan” budget? Not these […]

I posted this new Threedie Ceegie cartoon on the Main Page of this MillsWorks site but I’m sticking it here too.

.
It can also be viewed on my FaceBook pages and on MetaCafe - watch it there and if you like it, please vote.
For those of you who […]

I know I’m long overdue for posting stuff but I do promise to get back in the groove. There’s so much to write about, from the dropping of DRM by the major labels and yet the Canadian government continues to race like lemmings over the copyright abyss; the ongoing Writer’s Strike in the U.S. […]

Who knew blogging was dangerous?
I have an entirely different appreciation now for the work I’m doing here:

Fortunately, I conduct most of my work in my bathrobe so it’s not that big a deal for me - pardon the pun. But my posture does suffer. I’ll work on that this year. Keep cool.
Cheers.

2007 can suck my balls.
It is gone.
It will never be forgotten - unfortunately - like a scar on the wrist that reminds us of what could have been.
What a frickin’ clusterfuck this past year has been.
Can it get any worse?
Of course it can. And it will. Like I always say: “Teach your […]
