RMS in the UK.

"This provoked Stallman into an extended rant against the whole idea of patenting software, and ended in him leaving the room to shout in the corridor while Professor Bill Cornish, who was chairing, tried to resume the discussion."
Here is Stallman's homepage, and here is his must read distopian vision of the future that everyone used to laugh at, and that now, with the advent of the DMCA and things like CPRM, no one is laughing at anymore (disclaimer: he's no William Gibson or anything, but the writing style is not the point.) Dave's been doing some good digging into this area as well.

"Color geek extraordinaire Bruce Fraser gets to the bottom of rendering intents, and when to use each to get the best results." Some day I will learn about this stuff. Not today, though. Maybe one of you graphic designer types can tackle this.

I've been listening a lot to a Lucinda Williams bootleg a friend sent me. It is so good. After a certain number of plays a CD will burn itself into my head. This one is way in there.

The sun came up it was another day,
The sun went down we were blown away.
