The Copyleft

The Copyleft
I’ve been reading and watching a lot on copyright laws recently and it is utterly fascinating.
Probably the best movie I’ve seen so far is the documentary, RiP! A Remix Manifesto. The director, Brett Gaylor, not only made a great piece on the stifling effect copyright law has on creativity in this country, but he also started Open Source, which encourages remixing and expanding upon videos. The below video is footage of Girl Talk from the film that was remixed.

Good Copy, Bad Copy’s another good movie to watch.

Also, be sure to visit the Creative Commons site.

And thanks to Drew for sending me an essay by Cory Doctorow entitled Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright, and the Future of the Future. Cory appears in “RiP!” and is co-editor over at Boing Boing. I’m super excited to start reading that.

For a movie on how overaggressive “ownership” damages the realm of food and genetics check out The Future of Food (Official Site).

Remix and rejoice!

Penn Station, Before and After
It’s sad to see that Penn Station used to be such a stunner! See other Beautiful Train Stations That Fell To The Wrecking Ball (And The Crappy Stuff Built In Their Place). Interesting side note: all three cities I’ve lived in so far (New York, Atlanta and Savannah) are represented on the list…

A Weekend Rundown

A Weekend Rundown
Friday: Hid from the flash flood downpour and the watched the most beautiful sunset!

Saturday: And, we had our monthly Bondi Road brunch Saturday, which was awesome as always! Later, we did some bar-hopping in our neighborhood with a friend from out-of-town.

Sunday: Hangover recoup day! I was inspired by this arrangement and put together my own.

This morning was a delightful surprise; when I walked into the kitchen to find Jack had made us a breakfast of French Toast (made with with croissants!), preserves and fruit. Thank you so much, Love!

Vader is Smooooth


Yea, there’s a weird little intro and the end song is totally random, but everything between 0:26 and 8:37 is brilliant!

Remembering Burton's Batmania, 20 Years Later
And a happy birthday to one of my favorite 80’s goodies! BATDANCE!

Tuesday marks the exact anniversary (June 23rd) of Burton’s movie - a film that broke box office records despite many people expecting it to disappear without trace as soon as it opened. Instead, it opened the door for three sequels with different levels of diminishing return, a classic cartoon series, numerous bad superhero movies and a summer where it seemed like everything had a Bat logo on it.
