Fair Use

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

I get a lot of questions about Fair Use, mostly in the context of using movie clips to illustrate ideas. I finally got around to looking up what is on the books for copyright law and found this:
In section 107 - 
1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial [...]

Evernote: Helping Me Move Across the Country

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I know, it sounds stupid, but I am serious. In about a month or so I am going to move from St. Louis to Silicon Valley. That’s a long trip. A quick look at google maps gives an estimation of a million miles, and since that also means I have to pack my stuff, any [...]

I heard about it from http://britannicanet.com/

Begging and Pleading, for a good cause.

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I hate asking people for money, even if it means donating to an undeniably good cause.
The fact remains: without the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, I would have died sometime in early-2006. So as my wife continues to raise money for the organization (while I cheer from the sidelines), I am trying to get as much [...]

Boogers and Westerners: An Alternative reaction to Bad-Astronomer

Monday, February 18th, 2008

This is a reaction to Bad-Astronomers’ post on faith and science.
I do not intend to prove you wrong. But there are other points of view – not particularly antagonistic to science – that are rarely heard.
I don’t think we have to split faith and science dualistically. When splitting like this takes place, the result [...]

Macbook Mistake

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I was prepping a Macbook for deployment, when I realized that something didn’t seem right. It took me a few minutes to actually see it, as I am very slightly dyslexic:

It works just fine, of course….

CA fires, up close.

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

The last 4 were taken by a friend of a friend at Pepperdine University. The others were taken by a family with whom I grew up. Obviously, the fires were way too close for comfort. Considering I have many friends and most of my family out there, the more awareness, the better…
