We’re Still Here…
I haven’t put anything up recently, but I wanted to let everyone know that Rowan is doing fine after the second round of chemo. She has become a big fan of the Wiggles. Somebody save us (for those who do … Continue reading
Ugh
I guess I cannot complain too much. We’ve had things pretty good in New England for awhile now. You know: fewer confederate flags (future post coming), really good seafood, and a string of championships. So rather than cry about Brady, … Continue reading

Sane Intellectual Property Laws, Take 237
Here’s a follow-up to my rant over at Mxrk the other day (which followed up a rant during an MLA interview), my first intellectual property rant of 2008. Chances are it shouldn’t be the last- though daughter and dissertations will … Continue reading
So Crazy it has to be True
Sigh. Just when I thought intellectual property issues couldn’t get worse, this story passes through /. the other day. As reported, media broadcasters want you to pay to port media to different devices. This might not sound like a big … Continue reading
Google’s Candidate?
TechCrunch recently published an article on congressman Ron Paul, a presidential candidate who is running a digital campaign. Paul is gathering support through all the Web2.0 usual suspects: a typepad blog, digg, eventful, flickr, meetup, MySpace, and YouTube. The article … Continue reading
Victory is (sorta) Ours!
SoundExchange (representing the music industry) has agreed to re-think its fee structure for internet radio, 16 days before the killer rate increase. DiMA has a mixed review to the announcement. While many people are questioning the move, it at least … Continue reading
