A few of my pet peeves (& interests)

  • Intellectual Property (IP)
    • Watch out for ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement).  Don’t know what it is? Google it.
  • Copyright
    • From US Constitution: “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”  We’re WAY beyond “limited” now… it’s frakking ridiculous!
  • DRM
    • I don’t think so!  No.  Never Again.  Uh Uh No Way.  No.  No.  No.

I’ll have more later…

I’ve been meaning to do this for years…

It’s about time, too.  Of course, the fact that I just bought six new keyboards (3 mini, 2 compact, 1 regular) has given me the urge to type… and type… and type.  And I’m really sick of typing into a text editor & deleting the file when I’m through.  I think it would be MUCH more meaningful to type here & make other people sick, too.  No?  Oh well, I’m sure I’ll eventually get tired of these new keyboards and this blog will probably cease to exist.  Seeing as I’m probably the only person looking at it, I don’t suppose it will be missed.  (boo hoo, I’m soooooo depressed)

I’ll have you know that I also gave a great deal of thought & spent considerable time trying to come up with an interesting and/or intriguing tagline, but… I got nuttin’.  Maybe later…
