The Terrible Twos of Self Expression Online
So I got the chance to watch and listen to Douglas Rushkoff on Friday morning before my presentation at New Trier High School, and that in itself was worth the trip. ItÂ’s really interesting to me how brilliant people put these times in perspective, and his take on what weÂ’re experiencing was both articulate and thought provoking. (You can get the gist of his presentation by watching this video from Poptech last year.) He sees thi From weblogged News on October 9, 2005 at 3:48 p.m..

Joi reminds us that Creative Commons is asking us to step up with some money. In an world that thinks ideas are like donuts — the presumption is that you don't want to share yours — CC has become a valuable resource and an important statement.

Plus he treats his fans like human beings. Not to mention that he wrote the music and... From Joho the Blog on October 9, 2005 at 10:48 a.m..

A bounty of autumnal flavors
Fall has always been my favorite season, food-wise, and now that the leaves are really changing and the temperature's dropped a bit, I've been cooking up a storm! Squash soup, mushroom soup, salads with apples and walnuts, salads with roasted mushrooms, salad dressings with walnut oil and cider vinegar, etc. Last night, I made a maple roast chicken with yummy maple roasted vegetables. Instead of basting my roast in melted butter, as I usually do, I added maple syrup to the butter and basted with the combo. I filled the bottom of my roasting pan with small white potatoes, From megnut on October 9, 2005 at 10:45 a.m..

How weird the job of an character animator can be
So, you'd think that the job of an computer graphics animator would involve nothing but sitting in front of a screen and clicking little icons and buttons all day long? Well, looking at these folks I think the curricula may need some tweaking for the required skill sets... ;-)Related: From owrede_log on October 9, 2005 at 8:45 a.m..
