mmmm... live music
May 04, 2003 by Eric Richardson
So thursday night I made it out to the Hotel Cafe and caught Steve Reynolds. He was amazing, as usual, and this time I finally got to pick up his cd. Now I don't have to go through withdrawl between shows. I also caught the last couple minutes of a set by Penny. I can't at all say I got enough from the little I heard to make a judgement, but listening to a couple tracks on their website I'd definitely want to check them out. Unfortunately their show at the knit is while I'm back in MI, but I'm sure I'll find a time to catch them over the summer. All in all, a great night.

Steve Reynolds did a set on Morning Becomes Eclectic today. Definitely check it out. I've seen him live twice now, and every time I'm amazed. I just told #{node "6"}Magilla#{/node} that being able to easily see Steve's shows might be reason #1 to turn 21.
it's going to be a long night

I'm working on writing the paper I mentioned the other day. I think the public domain is going to take a larger role than I had envisioned, but I like how my outline has come together. Now the whole serious writing process starts. Eleven pages, due at 2pm tomorrow, but I've got other classes between now and then, so for me it's basically due at 10am. It'll be interesting.

So tonight I find myself in the computer lab, looking for information for a research paper due Wednesday. It's for my Legal Issues in New Media class, and the topic I've chosen to tackle is copyright terms. Right now I'm working with the juxtaposition of increasing copyright terms and what I'm calling the decreasing shelf life of information. The copyright term aspect is pretty broad and straight-forward, but the fun part is trying to figure out how you reasearch the latter aspect. What metric do you use to determine how long information is useful?
S.151: The Bill to End all Bills
April 17, 2003 by Eric Richardson
On April 10 a bill was cleared for the White House that I think is one of the more dangerous bills ever to be passed. S.151, or the "Child Abduction Prevention Act" (or AMBER Alert Act), seems inocuous enough, until you look at all the provisions that have been attached to it. I first read about the bill via this Plastic article, and yesterday actually took the time to read up on it. Click the title to read more... — Continue Reading...
