The Putty!!! SO MUCH PUTTY!!!
I love Silly Putty, but this is a bit over the top!
From Digg:
What do you do when you work for google and you get bored? Order silly putty of course!
Internet vs. literacy
Naomi S. Baron has an interesting article on how our ever growing ability to search for specific bits of information out of literature is leading to a culture that does not value the works that information comes from. In other words, why read the book if a synopsis or a google search will do. My favorite line is that this generation is “aliterate — they know how to read but choose not to.”
Buy, Play, Trade, Repeat - New York Times
I think this NYT Opinion piece really sums up the correct view of DRM on music. You’re only hurting your business if you keep people from spreading the music. The more people can listen to artists’ work the more likely they’ll buy it and more importantly… tell their friends. Don’t miss the discussions of this article over on Slashdot and Digg.
The End Of Copyright
I like this story!
From Digg:
“I think we are witnessing the beginning of the end of a major era in world history. It may take fifty years, it may take a hundred, but the age of copyright is drawing to a close. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it’s inevitable.”
Kintiko.net
I finally broke down and got my own web host. I got a free domain in the deal, so I’m proud to give you kintiko.net for all your small web project needs. I’ve got lots of space and fun server side scripting options. If anyone needs a web page made for them, pass along my name. If I have the time, I’m only asking to put a few Google AdSense ads on the pages.
I think that is a pretty good bargain.
