We’re pleased to announce that five MCN 2009 sessions will be webcast live, free of charge. MCN 2009 takes place week after next in Portland, Oregon. While we urge everyone who is interested to register and attend the conference in person as the only way to engage with its full array of workshops, sessions, events, [...]
For those who are really caught up in the on-going saga known as the Google Books Settlement (by far the best reality show now running) and the impact of book digitization on our culture in general, here are the links to Peter Hirtle’s extensive summaries of the D for Digitize conference at NY Law School, [...]
Thomas L. Friedman notwithstanding, the world most definitely is not flat when it comes to “earth shaking” new consumer tech products like the iPhone or the Kindle e-book reader. I live in a Kindleless iPhone desert, and I resent it. Those are proprietary gadgets married to local telecommunications carriers, bound by local copyright laws and [...]
My iPhone envy just reached new heights. For any of you in iPhone enabled countries (ahem!) who like gadgets for gadgets, have a look at this article about iPhone apps for photographers. It even mentions my old favorite, the level app. http://www.creativepro.com/article/iphone-apps-photographers
One of the reasons that I post so seldom here is that oft-noticed problem of being over-extended. If you are going to MCN 2009 in Portland next month (and I hope you are), you’ll notice that I am involved in workshops on Cloud Computing, and a very special project of mine, “Project Management.” But, not [...]
I used to ask that question of my students in art history classes. Paul Gauguin was a famous painter, but by all accounts, a less-than-perfect husband.

This will do for today: By AOIFE WHITE (AP) BRUSSELS — The European Commission said Monday it may revise copyright law to make it easier for companies like Google Inc. to scan printed books and distribute digital copies over the Internet… Under Europe’s [...]
I thought about titling this post, “Getting Seasick,” but I think the Dramamine is starting to kick in. But be forewarned – getting involved with Google Wave at this stage is not for the faint of heart. If you’re concerned about all of your familiar actions and methodologies being turned on their heads, might be [...]
Excellent article from the Internet Archive on the Orphan Works issue, and whether Google is going to grab the role of Superman-to-the-rescue, and by the way make money from it, or if a more traditional and kosher legislative solution is needed. “At a Computer History Museum event last week in Silicon Valley, [Google's Dan]Clancy suggested [...]
Sorry, I know it’s not politically correct to use the “C” word and I know it’s not yet Halloween, but you need to know that I am crazy for Christmas. Not crazy that I have decorations up all year around or toilet-paper holders that play carols. I am just a connoisseur of holiday music and films. [...]
