Social Media & the Cost of Fuel
via Global Neighbourhoods by shel on July 02, 2008
Paula & I just changed plans to visit our daughter in Dallas because of the high price of airfare and the lack of direct connections. A friend who's a retailer at Tahoe tells me he expects a terrible July 4th weekend because of the high price of gasoline. Another friend--in a Fortune 100 company tells me that travel budgets are being zeroed out as a cost cutter.There simply is no dispute...

Talking points for Canadians speaking to their MPs about the Canadian DMCA
via Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow on June 17, 2008
Brendon sez, "With the tabling of Bill C-61 in the Canadian Parliament, there has been a lack of a concise set of 'talking points' that summarizes the ramifications of the bill in plain language. This document attempts to capture such a set of talking points for review by the copyfighter community at large. Keep in mind that this document must provide a rational argument against C-61, as...

The future of ©
via Blogzilla by Ian Brown on June 16, 2008

English nurseries fingerprinting parents "for security"
via Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow on June 01, 2008
Two nurseries in Kent, England are fingerprinting parents as they drop off and pick up kids "for safety." Nevermind that statistically, your kids are far more likely to be snatched and/or abused by a parent (or someone who works at a nursery!) than by a stranger. On the other hand, giving out copies of your fingerprints to every weenie who's got a wild safety hair up their arse puts you at...
