Recently Boing Boing has been talking about copyright and museums that has also made its way to MCN-L. This just in today: V&A Drops Reproduction Fees. Boing Boing links to the Art News that was breaking the news. I went to the V&A site to try and cofirm the information (one would think this would [...]
I’m a diligent copyright manager but an even more diligent foodie. So this one certainly caught my eye. In an editorial approriately called “Food for Thought,” in the first issue of the U of Maryland’s Center for Intellectual Property newsletter, Executive Director Kimberly M. Bonner writes about a recent article in Food and Wine magazine [...]
As a male whose shiny-gadget gene actually occupies a whole chromosome, it seems curious that it is only recently that I took the plunge to stay connected 24/7. I am the proud father of a Treo. I was stalling largely because I spend enough time working as it is and having access to my email [...]

I went to visit a local creative services company a few days ago. I thought the days of cool company offices disappeared in the 90s when the bubble bust, but I’m pleased to report it is alive and well and living in Los Angeles. Primarily I went to see an Autostereoscopic display – say what? [...]
Me here back in grey and rainy Cleveland after a terrific week in Pasadena at MCN. Lots of old faces, lots of new faces. The conference took place in a hotel that was large enough to have all the amenities (except for internet at times boo!) and small enough so that delegates managed to run [...]
I think I say “huh?” or “huh” too much. Its normally when I come across something interesting or curious. The following (which you may already have come across) fits the bill for both. Its a “huh?” for “wait a minute, I thought we should be going digital to preserve this” and its a “huh…” for [...]
