For me, intellectual property is an oxymoron, for the Web, stupid patent attempts such as , search strings, hyperlinking and Eolas are a threat to humankind's greatest invention. Other stupid, evilness includes people who try to prevent Deep Linking.
So . Don't click on this link unless you're PDD (pretty damn dorky).

Of course, they never give the denominators of their rate calculations.
I am pretty excited about this, but currently it can only be had
on the Google cache because it got - del.icio.us-ed? That one is harder to
verbify than Slashdot or Digg.
Also the massage club has green lights all over the place.
I hope to be able to put together the first club email tonight or tomorrow.

Was playing around in photoshop and made this space scene on my lunch.
All photoshop, no photos or reference material used other than the hand of god photo that was on slashdot which is probably what inspired me to draw the scene! lol.

Macatawa Bay and Holland, alongside Lake Michigan. At the top of the picture, where the ice is thickest alongside the lake, is Pidgeon Lake at Point Betsie. I have a close-up of the large coal-fired power plant there in this picture, taken last Fall. Holland, by the way, is home to Rob Malda of Slashdot fame.
Description from Slashdot:
"A new chapter in the ongoing controversy surrounding China's women's gymnastics team opened today, as search engine hacker stryde.hax found surviving copies of official registration documents issued by China's General Administration of Sport of China. The incriminating documents, expunged by censors from the official site and from Google's document cache, still appear in the document translation cache of Chinese search giant Baidu, here (1) and here (2), showing the age of one of China's gold medal winning gymnasts to be 14 instead of 16, the minimum age for competition presented on her government-issued passport. Now that official government documentation is available, how long will the IOC be able to keep a lid on this scandal?"
These are my screen shots.
Our transcription company received the magnetic disc on the left, which we're told dates back 20 years and has an audio recording (dictation) on it. Anyone know what kind of player would play something like this?
So I was flying back from the US today and when I arrived in Amsterdam I was checking my RSS feeds and noticed that I'd got a mention on brothers-brick.com for my Lego Dr Who photos. As a result, even at midday European time I was already showing a lot more views than I would normally get in a day, then when the US woke up the traffic just rocketed.
So the above is the graph from my Flickr stats taken at 23:59:59 this evening showing just how much of an impact that blog posting has made since I normally get ~100-150 views a day (then maybe a couple of hundred more on the days I upload stuff that my friends and family will look at).
I uploaded the BrickCon photos on Thursday and posted a few in the BrickCon and Lego pools which pulled in 1,773 views for the day. This itself was about 5-6x what I would normally expect after uploading some photos and the highest daily total I'd ever had. Then as you can see from the graph above, that was totally eclipsed by today's 12,031 views in 24 hours! So over 5% of my total Flickr traffic ever, occurring in one day! I hate to think what would happen if it was on something like Boing Boing, Gizmodo or Slashdot!
Thanks to everyone that's viewed and commented, I was simply piggy-backing on the really creative work done by some ridiculously talented builders!

Okay, LCD displays aren't supposed to get burn in, are they?!
If you look, you can see a ghost of Slashdot after I exposeé'd it out of the way. The page had only been on screen for 15 minutes. The ghosting did eventually fade, but anything left on screen for more than 10 minutes or so leaves a ghost behind. Tool palettes in Photoshop and InDesign, iChat windows, everything.

HBO's Hacking Democracy provides a good summary of how the US elections are now about fooling machines rather than fooling voters. I made T-shirts, magnets, hats, etc. HERE! Spread the word that not only does your vote not count, Diebold has made it so it might not even be counted!!
A couple of days after my Guest Check PDA photoset got mentioned on 43 Folders, the first photo in the set has gotten 1200 views, more than all of the rest of my photos put together (including all the rest of the Guest Check PDA photoset which all spiked as well). Like the "slashdot effect" only nerdier.
While playing practice beer pong (with cups of water) last night, Wes and I ended up with identical cup arrangements. The first person to identify why this is the most terrifically nerdy thing I've ever posted wins a cookie.

Clint tries to stave off boredom by reading Slashdot (http://www.slashdot.org) and checking his email. This is one of the few times you will ever see him with a blue taskbar. Or using IE.

Contact
Run into Andy from Kinder/Primary today at the shops. So if you are reading this Andy you can contact
- other DCPS mates at ~ www.schoolfriends.com.au/
- myself at ~ seldomlogical.com/contact or flickr.com/people/bootload
I had forgotten to load my wallet with some Moo contact cards (small business cards with photos on them) so I had to write the details down on a Corn Flakes packet. So first thing was to load the wallet with some cards.
Digital native
Spent all my primary years at DCPS 1003 (Diamond Creek Primary School) and all but one year in the old building. Hasn't changed much. Noticed a lot less open space.
The first contact reference is for people who went to DCPS. I went pre Internet, pre Facebook so naturally people trying to find others would go to sites that collected people of a similar social graph. The site has suddenly become free so I'm getting quite a few more hits. I'm a digital native and have been on the same email, isp since late '93 and pretty easy to find - only if you know the right verbs. People by themselves are too hard to find but add a few together ... looks like the social software wave is allowing non-digital natives to catch up.

I think 95% of the people in the audience are clueless about what teenagers want. A year ago, I found out that Gaia Online is one of the most popular messageboard on the net (I think it's bigger than Slashdot). The users are almost entirely 13-15 year olds.
It's a different world. They buy ringtones, the're pretty savvy about comparison shopping and loyal to product brands but not vendors.
They all use AIM and Myspace, and many have iPods.
One of the questions from the lineup: "would you like to see movies in your AIM window?" Led to one of the teens stating flat out "I just want to talk to my friends," and then they all got into the rant about pop-ups and other annoyances.
Keep it simple.

The ascendancy of Hacker News & the gentrification of geek news communities
"... Plus, I don't think that link-sites other than digg will get really popular with the general population ..."
Digg is a newbie. There are others. Slashdot for example caught on in the general population after the hoards of readers would bring down servers after a single post ~ pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/office/stans/slashdot.html and news organisations through Journalists started using Slashdot as their geek filter and quoting it in news.
"... The whole gentrification argument doesn't really hold well with the definition of gentrification ..."
Depends on what you mean by gentrification. I think in this case it might be the gentrification of ideas, implementation and audience. An inability to improve the quality of the site. Slashdot at the start (suid 2774) when I joined was full of new and interesting ideas. Full of readers with technical backgrounds who you could pose questions you would never get the answers to reading a book, news groups even the source. You had to be on the ball to answer or you would be howled down with logic and facts. I left slashdot when the discussion and flow of new ideas deteriorated into low quality opinions. Just like this one.
"... Very true (1359 myself). I abandoned it when it gave up any pretense of being "stuff that matters" became "controversy for the sake of driving page views". The quality of comments there now is only one notch above YouTube ..."
Wow. It was partly your posts & ideas I was reading back then. Great stuff.

Point Betsie on Lake Michigan. Here's a shot of the same scene taken three months ago, from a vector slightly more northerly. You can see the coal-fired power plant there.
