Creative Commons Licensing comes to music.

A very interesting result. With makeshift equipment. Truly stunning. Take a look at the pic. Amazing!

… … with rss for knowledge worker’s. I’ve tried this several times. But, never could get management or leadership interested. Most want a big central system tied into “human resources” and annual performance appraisal “systems”. Unfortunately, it’s about productivity; not “gotchas”. Might be just my impressions, but the honchos were worried about bad press. As opposed to getting all their “human resources” in alignment. With the appropriate categories and tags, anyone in the Enterprise could tap into status information.
Might be interesting to work that idea up for some one?

Take one or more RSS feeds, add them, select a schedule! You get emailed a PDF.
Interesting alpha. Needs a way to limit the amount of RSS feed it takes. Like a daily take, should limit it to a day.
Maybe?

Cramberry
A web app that helps people (students, actors, or anyone else) memorize things (schoolwork, lines in a play, etc.) using flashcards. Users create a blank “set” of flashcards, then name the set, and start adding cards to the set. Once you’re ready, the app presents these cards to you in a random order so you can answer the cards.
*** end quote ***
Tried it. One link wrong on their main page. But it does work.
Needs maturation.
(1) No export. (2) No way to monetize your sets of flash cards.
Interesting concept.

Fairpoint Pledges To Violate Net Neutrality
Posted by timothy on Saturday December 27, @02:46PM
from the we’ll-read-it-to-you-over-the-phone dept.
The Internet Censorship Communications
wytcld writes “Fairpoint Communications, which has taken over Verizon’s landline business in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, has announced that on February 6 ‘AOL, Yahoo! and MSN subscribers will continue to have access to content but will no longer be able to access their e-mail through the third-party Web site. Instead, Yahoo! and other third-party e-mail will be accessed directly at the MyFairPoint.net portal. Since Verizon spun off its lines to Fairpoint in a maneuver that got debt off of Verizon’s balance sheets by saddling Fairpoint with it, there was concern by the public service boards of the three states about how Fairpoint would deal with that debt. Fairpoint’s profit plan: force all Webmail users through Fairpoint’s portal, by blocking all direct access to Webmail portals other than its own. Will Fairpoint’s own search engine portal be next? What can stop them?”
*** end quote ***
Here’s one to watch.
Not sure where the needle is in this haystack! BUT, (there is always a big butt), it seems as if the ISP FAIRPOINT maybe, while taking over from Verizon, screwing all the customers.
I know that is a total surprise.
“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca
At the very least, it’s a good reason NOT to use your ISP’s email address. I do feel sorry for all those @verizon.net users who now will have to change their email address. (I preach having your own domain! No one listens. Sorry, no sympathy here.)
I can’t wait to see how this plays out.
Whose got the popcorn?

11 Stamp Stories Worth Retelling by the mag – November 30, 2008 – 11:11 AM

A Penny For Your Mischievous Thoughts
According to legend, Sir Rowland Hill got the idea for the Penny Postage program one day while watching a barmaid tearfully plead with a mailman. Unable to afford the shilling demanded for postage, she begged simply to hold the letter sent by her beloved brother. Hill then watched as the girl scanned the envelope intensely, as if trying to read its contents mentally. Touched, Hill coughed up a shilling and gave her the letter. The girl stopped crying, but instead of being grateful, she became nervous. After the postman left, she confessed that the letter was blank. Her brother’s message was contained in secret marks made on the envelope. Apparently, the two had devised a system whereby they could send each other messages through the post for free.

Never hear that one. BUT, it certainly doesn’t surprise me. At all. If you can’t keep drugs out of prisons, don’t underestimate people’s ability to “game” the system.
