[Ed: Even though the project was a failure, I had already written a few, and just left them around to publish at the
appropriate time]
Today, we'll focus on Lawrence Lessig, professor of law at Stanford Law School and founder of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society Lessig is the author of "Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace" and an expert on the issues of copyright and "copyleft. His lecture is here, and three of his books: The Future of Ideas Free Culture Code Version 2.0 Saturday, May 17. 2008Comment (1) Trackbacks (0) Captain Lo-Rez and the Pixel of DestinyWednesday, May 14. 2008D&D Write-up #1: 5/13/08
So, uh, we do this to keep everybody up to speed on what happened last week, what's happening next week, etc. I
asked MG if I could do this week's session, and I did it as a journal entry. The speaker here is my character,
Lissah.
Sixthday of Flamerule 1372 DR (Year of Wild Magic) One thing I will never get used to here is the rain. The cold is fine—I grew up listening to the wind blow in off the steppes—but mix that with water and everything turns sour. My hands are chilled, my hair is fuzzy, and I can’t keep my feet dry. Of course, it doesn’t help that Taliend keeps telling me to “put on some sensible shoes.” What does he think I do for a living, plant corn? I need my ankles bare for my bells, or there’s no food on the table that night. It’s Flamerule, for Sharess’ sake! Surely there should be a few tendays strung together here where the sun shines without a break. But, as my mother used to say, there’s no use mourning stars that have already fallen, so I suppose I should be grateful when the sun stays out for a few days in a row, as it has now. And that’s what I was thinking, squinting up into the sky and trying to concentrate on the wedding vows, when the screaming started.

Try it out Wednesday, May 14. 2008One Hundred Words
Okay, so I don't usually like to just re-post a link I've seen on Penny-Arcade, but these are absolutely cool, and I definitely recommend reading through them. They
are little stories of 100 words. I thought they would be boring, but actually each one is quite interesting and hooked
me--though they're a little frustrating in that I want to know more. I especially loved the stories about Longinus,
which coordinate with another author at the Fabian Society. I think it takes a lot of creativity to be able to
intrigue a reader in only 100 words--makes me jealous.

This was a long post detailing the games, but I clicked the wrong button and lost it all, and I don't have the heart to
type it again. Summary: Lost, Lost, Lost. Went home.

Let's get some more blog statistics up here.
Monday, May 12. 2008Behold, the future of America.
When I was 13, it never crossed my mind to steal a credit card from my parents and stay up all night playing Halo with
hookers, but obviously this kid is
ahead of the league.
I'm posting this here because it made me laugh so hard. Sunday, May 11. 2008Conflict needed
Johnny Elbows made a comment to me Friday that I thought was quite accurate. He said: "You know I think this has been
the most civil thread of comments that we have had in a long time", speaking about AoD's latest
rant. I then pointed out that he had missed most of the gentle jibes that Mad Giggler and I had engaged in. He
agreed and then left after we concluded our business. But his comment got me thinking: why don't we have more of those
types of discussions?

I've been trying to get back to more traditional mediums. So. New art after the jump. Oil on board, just practice. I
really, really hate it when my traditional, actually-put-effort-into-this pieces don't have a theme or a message, but
this one didn't. D:

So, I know I promised to stop flooding the front page with links to books, but I had to do one last one because it's
only available for free download until the 13th - STAR
WARS: LEGACY OF THE FORCE: BETRAYAL.
Blurb from the page: Have you ever wondered what happened to Han, Luke and Leia after the events of Return of the Jedi? Now, in BETRAYAL, the legacy that began with Anakin Skywalker has finally come full circle. Join Han, Luke, Leia, and the other heroes of the New Jedi Order in their epic struggle to maintain peace in the galaxy, as a new threat rises from the most unexpected of places.

This week's video
lecture is from Brewster Kahle, Director and Co-founder of the Internet Archive, and originator of the print-on-demand Bookmobile.
Therefore, it seems only appropriate to link to two books available in the Internet Archive.
First, there's Eric Raymond's The Art of Unix Programming. Secondly, how about Richard F. Burton's "The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume 1" (sometimes called "1,001 Arabian Nights")
