Couple other SCOTUS notes before they vanish from my mind:
As pointed out by Tim and commented on here and here, the lawyer for MGM said very clearly that it was legal to rip a CD to an iPod, in contradiction to the industry’s position in other cases. At the time, my immediate internal response was [...]
I had lots of fun at the court yesterday. The TF of my hahvahd class was there; his post covers the actual argument better than I could; I didn’t think to bring a pad and pen and probably wouldn’t have been a very good note taker anyway. [The court very definitely does not allow laptops [...]
Geeeeks on parade…. at the Supreme Court! Turns out a few of us turned out for the Grokster case.
Carl Worth of wobbly window fame.
Mako Hill of Ubuntu fame.
Supreme Court of Supreme Court fame.
I waited all night for this. First 50 get in.
I stayed up tonight (after going to my aunt’s for an easter dinner that was quite enjoyable) to write.
I ended up talking with someone about the packaging project for a while, and getting energized enough to write. Just not quite like I intended. I got out two sentences on what I’d hoped to attack [...]
Not enough hours in the day. :/ Interesting link of the moment: Three Pillars of Social Source, on how the growing IT cluster around non-profit organizations and open source should structure itself. Not the most interesting article in and of itself, but has links to lots of interesting-looking groups and some events where desktop linux [...]
gnome-blog ate the original version and now I’m reconstructing this post on the fly. Blah.
We need to buy pimpmygnome.org and point it at art.gnome.org. No idea what to use for gnome-look.org yet. Special thanks to my mang kangpeh for inspiring this inspired idea.
Cool to see ifolder interop hacking going on. I haven’t tried to build ifolder in… probably at least six months. I hope they get more widespread interest/momentum- [...]
I’ve been aggregating a personal planet with feeds from gnomefiles, live.gnome.org, planet.gnome, and some other places, most notably a technorati search feed for ‘gnome desktop.’ That’s led me to some interesting posts, many of which I can’t actually read :) Cool post of the day from there: apparently GNOME’s Indonesian translation project has been involved [...]
I find it sort of significant/amusing that the PSP’s US launch party will be MC’d by Carson Daly (of fame fame) and DJ’d by Danger Mouse (of Grey Album fame.) Sony, a content house (the one that sent the Grey Album takedown order, at that), is at least slightly endorsing Danger’s work for a fairly [...]
Great weekend. Duke won (twice) (though barely). I’m very happy for Todd; his team now knows what it feels like to reach the sweet 16. I remember what it was like not to reach the sweet 16; it happened my freshman year in college and it was tough. My brackets aren’t even completely totaled yet- [...]
