My best effort at myself, using the always fun South Park Character Generator.

Our new house!
Our new house in Sewanee! Got a chance to see it this weekend…great interior, 3 bedrooms, great windows in the living room, and hardwood floors all the way through. Looking more forward to the move now that we’ve seen the house!

More great Creative Commons news…
The BBC is going to be using Creative Commons licenses for their upcoming Creative Archive (an archive designed to give the British people free access to some BBC audio and video productions). Brilliant, and kudos to Lessig for getting named to the board.

Creative Commons just announced the 2.0 version of their licenses, that clear up issues and make certain things (like attribution) standard.

Just a quick update…
Betsy and I are heading to TN yet again this weekend, to (hopefully) visit our new house. New address and such forthcoming as soon as everything is official. Blogging at a lull until next week, probably…maybe some updates from TN (with pictures of the new place!).
Lots of driving, but the prospect of driving when you have all the music you own being broadcast wirelessly to your radio…ah, technology. I love ya like I love monkeys. I’ve decided, after careful consideration, that I like my iPod only slightly less than I like breathing and speaking. Thanks again to all who made it possible. 🙂
The new LibraryLaw Blog is amazing…full of great info, and cutting edge library/law connections. I hope that more of a discussion community forms as the blog ages. I know I’ll be there!
Story originally from Lessig Blog and the BBC.
At the Cannes Film Festival, a film named Tarnation is wowing the critics and crowds…impressing Gus Van Sant and John Cameron Mitchell to sign on as producers and attempt to get the film a distributor. It’s the story told via a series of filmed narratives of the director and subject since he was 11, as he deals with his mother’s mental illness.
The copyright problem here is this: the director/star/subject (Jonathan Caouette) estimates that the film cost a total of $218 to make. That’s the cost of the videotapes, and the one prop he purchased solely for the film (a pair of angels wings).
Cost to clear the rights to the images/music that he used in editting the film together?
$400,000
This time, from one of the funniest movies evar, Office Space. The result scares me a little. 🙂
