- The Apple Motion Sensor As A Human Interface Device More on this, now with demo movies showing a gravity-sim game controlled by physically tilting the PowerBook. Whenever I get a ‘book with a motion sensor, this will be one of the first things installed. Just to show off, of course.
- MAKE: Blog I just keep ending up here.
- Victrola Coffee The place where all those art-lattes are coming from
- Girl with Refrigerator Just a terrific picture.
I’ve been on the fence about Creative Commons licenses. They often seem like the pipe-dream of a group rapidly falling out of power, too utopian and shortsightedly idealistic. Also, I don’t recall hearing about any case where a CC licence has been faced a real legal test.
Despite all of that, I’ve decided to try an experiment with something I’ve been working on recently. Part of freelancing is tailoring your own licenses and contracts, in many ways the CC licenses are simply pre-made contracts which benefit from the pooled knowledge of a large community and lots of free legal advice. With most things I do, I want them to live beyond me and hopefully become the seeds with which someone else makes something new. I was planning on giving this project away for free anyway and this is a perfect opportunity to experiment a little.
So my next little project will be released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Noncommercial, Share Alike license. Here’s hoping for the best.
If this is what 2 Columbus Circle is going to look like I don’t see why they don’t just knock the whole thing down and start over. The reason for keeping the building was the façade, trying to adapt a period floor plan is probably more trouble than it’s worth.

In my email tonight, 10 pictures that defy explanation: Some guy, gloves, a plastic lei and a skull mug fiilled with cold black coffee.
Oh, and one seriously pissed off possum.
