This may be the single cool
This may be the single coolest thing I've ever heard. Via Lessig….a half hour radio drama from 1937 concerning characters on their way to the public domain. Just wonderful given the current status of the public domain and copyright.
++++++++++
leaving the copyright lane for the public domain. Kim Scarborough sent this (warning: large mp3) wonderful radio show from the Columbia Workshop in 1937 about characters leaving the “copyright lane” for the “public domain.” It is a brilliantly complex and funny tale that reveals an understanding about the value of the public domain that would be hard to recognize today.

Thanks for those that point
Thanks for those that pointed out my broken-ocity this last evening. I was editting my .htaccess file trying to get ISIS to be happy with PHP, but evidently just didn't have any success. Should be all fixed now.

In some bizarre crossing of
In some bizarre crossing of worlds, I just discovered this post from Eric Muller, one of the UNC bloggers and a law professor here. It's about going caving with his daughter in Corbin, KY. Besides the fact that both Betsy and I are from KY, Corbin is about 20 minutes, if that, from Betsy's parent's house. PLUS, I've caved in that area before…it's just down from Rockcastle County, where the Great Saltpetre Cave is located, and about 1 hour or so from Mammoth Cave (the largest cave in the world). Being a caver myself, I find this fascinating….wacky crossing of worlds.
FYI, for those that didn't know, I worked for 5 years at Carter Caves State Resort Park in KY, possibly the most beautiful place in the world. Not that all those pictures show it.

Tons of fun at the 4th of J
Tons of fun at the 4th of July fireworks last night, and tossing frisbee with Abe and the gang beforehand. Got a few good pics, and since I mentioned Gallery before and finally got some pics up, take a look.
Question for Justin: I know you use Gallery as well….have you have issues with it being buggy at times? Mine seems to only want to upload 2 pics or less…not sure if there's a size restriciton on uploads somewhere that I'm missing. Also, does your install sometimes force you to logout and login to continue working with it? Mine locks occasionally. Figured I'd just ask here. 🙂

Excellent technology day to
Excellent technology day today….finally managed to get Gallery (thanks Justin for the recommendation!) working, and now bets and I can start our online photo repository for our respective families to view. Nice.
It took a little bit of work…first wasn't happy with a missing program, then it wouldn't recognize the correct path for the photos themselves. Now I just need to figure out which CSS sections deal with which parts of the HTML, and I can figure out how to customize it a bit. Woo Hoo!

Don't know who else picked this out of the blogsphere, but Harvard now has an official privacy policy and terms of use for blogging by students. Even more interesting, the _default_ is a Creative Commons license.
