Beginning a New project

Actually, I’m beginning a couple of new projects, but this is the first one with something decent to show. (Still needs some touch up, but it’s almost done.)

Drawing from last Night

Someone left a pine cone for one of my co-workers (don’t ask, even I don’t know), so while I had some free time last night (I do have free time), I did drawing of it.

Lessig V Helprin (Lessig FTW!)

Over on the Huffington Post Lawrence Lessig wrote a (rather long) review/rebuttal of Mark Helfrin’s Digital BarbarismThe Solipsist and the Internet (a review of Helprin’s Digital Barbarism)–where he, basically tears Helprin’s aruments a new asshole.
This quote is worth everythingelse rolled together in the article.

One might as well say the world of non-copyright gave us Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, while the world of copyright gave us Britney Spears. That too would be a bad argument, but just sort of argument that is at home in this book.

Basically, it seems, Helprin’s book is remarkably un-researched, and not worth anyone’s time who is actually interested in copyright law, and the mess it is in today.

The End of Gaming?

Probably not but according to
this article on Shacknews, it looks like the end of many gamers dreams, and jokes. 3D Realms, the makers of DuKe Nukem, which was my boys’ favorite game at one time, and which has been devloping it’s newest version of the game (Duke Nukem Forever) for 12 years (Which has led to may jokes, parodies, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from Wired’s Vapoware survey in 2004.) has closed it’s doors, and laid off its employees.
This is the end of an era, and the annual jokes will be missed.. Duke Nukem R.I.P.
