Free books - free thought

-
Despite the fact that much evil stupidity pervades the web, there is a lot of good stuff out there as well. Here's a random assortment of free books (in PDF form) you may or may not find interesting.

Copyright and Intellectual Property
Lessig and Boyle may well prove to be some of the most important writers about the Internet Age around.

Tech/Web books
Web and computer books seem to have a shorter shelf-life than fish. Electronic books make lots of sense.

Literature
We all have to relax a little, right?
Humor
Of course, you've got to have a PDF reader to view any of these. Get one from Adobe or any of these fine alternatives.

The humor selections look like some real knee-slappers.

If I had to read one and just one Lessig title, which should it be?

WS - If I had to recommend only one of Lessig's books, it would be Free Culture. It pretty much cuts to the heart of the matter, although The Future of Ideas is a close second.

Having once been in the business of creating what could be described as Intellectual Property once, you'd think I would be on the other side of this issue, but for me being an artist was always more about spreading ideas than making objects to sell.

Probably why I manage computer systems now.

Holiday Movie Cavalcade

-
I didn't do much over the holidays (alas) but I did see movies. More movies than in all of the rest of 2009. It was all mainstream fair, but enjoyable nonetheless. Read on: no spoilers. Sherlock Holmes Holmes and Watson as action heroes. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law star. Early on, Holmes (Downey) does some bare-knuckle fisticuffs which were sufficiently violent that Spousal Partner decided she'd had enough. By the way, Rachel McAdams (as Holmes' love interest Irene Adler) is freaking gorgeous. Needless to say, this was " based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, " and not part of the Holmes canon. Purists may turn up their noses but it was rousing good fun. Avatar (3D) I wasn't initially planning to see this (it registered a bit high on the hype-o-meter) but Youngest Son saw it with friends and said he'd see it again with me.  I find that I tend to enjoy movies a lot more if I've previously lowered expectations.What I'd r

A few random thoughts on "Cancel Culture."

-
 A friend of mine recently took exception when I mocked people (mostly conservative) who tossed around the term "Cancel Culture." It seems in the opinions of many some (mostly conservative), it's a freedom of speech issue. Not really. And it's not a First Amendment issue either, when Facebook or Twitter cancels your account for praising white supremacists, or neo-fascists, or other right-wing dickheads. " Cancel Culture ," which, according to Wikipedia, was originally an outgrowth of the "MeToo" movement, (so not so much about speech as calling out behavior - specifically against women) has morphed now into the latest right-wing NewSpeak  term for "I'm being punished for expressing my opinion."  Dig a little deeper though and you'll find the issue is not so much about "free speech," as "consequence-free speech." I mean...if you are going to be an opinionated ass, at least have enough self-respect not to be a w
