So, I finally got rid of that Misty theme, and replaced it with the GlossyBlue theme. Had to do some hacking  and tweaking to loose the sponsoring part, because I do not want someone else to earn money from this blog :-) Also upgraded the wordpress software to a newer version which supports tagging. So if you notice anything weird, let me know.

You all knew this, of course, but the laws need to change to support the modern and digital ways of creativity. Larry Lessig is talking about the need to change (US) law, but it also applies to other countries, like the Netherlands. So go watch this TED talk from Mr. Lessig.

BTW. also check out his Free Culture book.

Thanks to David Ascher I rediscovered TED, with just amazing stuff like this acrobatic dance “Symbiotic“. While I have seen the site before, for example with the famous demo of multi touch displays from Perceptive Pixel by Jeff Han, it is just fun to watch videos and find intriguing ideas.

Nice talk by Cuong Do about the history of developing a scalable architecture at Youtube.com. Proves again that you can do a lot with a few good men ™ and python.
