  • DOPA passes US House of Reps

    Mark Ahlness referenced me to Andy Carvin’s website, where he reported today that DOPA has passed the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly. 🙁 Perhaps not a surprise, but certainly a disappointment. To see the vote breakdown, check out GovTrack.us’s page on DOPA. You can also read the full-text of the bill on their website. Do…

  • Lazybase and database of blog tools

    Miguel Guhlin introduced me this evening to the web 2.0 tool Lazybase, which allows anyone to quickly create a shared online database with custom fields. VERY cool.

Instead of trying to prosecute young people for remixing pop culture a la ccMixter, the Hammer…
