Inside has a long article on the future of copyright law (or, in other words, the future of digital content, or even just the future itself.) This is a good one to read if you are still unsure what all the fuss is about.
Why hasn't the more like this style of blogging caught on? The more I think of how I want my blog set up, the more I come back to something like this. I want each post to have a category (or categories) that it falls into. Then the page becomes more like a database. You could choose to only see web related links, or only see personal posts, or only see posts about travel, or apache, or space, ect... Simple, really, but maybe it is not simple enough? Can you really categorize your interests in a rigid way? Maybe the simple "newest post at the top" blogger style is the most sophisticated thing we can do that still gets lots of people involved.
Looks like Ricoh has a new camera with some of the functionality I've been looking for. With an optional communications card it can do email, ftp, http, fax, as well as create html files containing your pictures. I can't find a price, but probably not cheap.
A little something for the future: the rosetta disk (from eatonweb.)
Postal experiments. Another good link from robotwisdom.
Send GET requests to your server toll free from any phone.
The IOC is trying to put a 10 year ban on the showing of any olympic video footage on the internet. I think someone hasn't been paying very close attention.
Great site. Sort of a slashdot without the unix (huh?) or, in other words, a cool science story blog. Great site (did I say that already?)
Oh yeah, it's World AIDS day. Some bloggers are, once again, doing the day without weblogs thing. I'm not, but I support their goals. As an incredibly lazy gesture, here is a very good list of AIDS links that someone else put together. [memo to Mark M.: it is only a day without weblogs - I think there might have been some misunderstanding here.]
"Garry Winogrand is famous for having exposed three rolls of Tri-X on the streets of New York City every day for his entire adult life. That's 100 pictures a day, 36,500 a year, a million every 30 years. Winogrand died in 1984 leaving more than 2500 rolls of film exposed but undeveloped, 6500 rolls developed but not proofed, and 3000 rolls proofed but not examined (a total of a third of a million unedited exposures). This is the kind of dedication that you need to bring to a street photography project if you hope to achieve greatness."Alex, I think you might be slacking up there in the park.
