Parts 1, 2, 3, 4. GeekBrief.TV is similar in content and format to the newer WebbAlert, but Cali Lewis gives the show a lighter, less formal style. You can’t help but smile along with her infectious laugh. The show’s slogan, even, is “shiny, happy tech news, with Cali Lewis.” According to their website: “Geek Brief TV is [...] -
Vidcasts you should be watching, #4: “Vegan A Go-Go”

Parts 1, 2, 3. Today’s recommendation is Vegan A Go-Go. Okay, so this one might not be for everyone. Cooking shows are kind of a love-it-or-hate-it thing I’ve found, but I tend to love them. Trouble is, being vegan, most of the food prepared on, say, the Food Network, I’m unable to eat. So Vegan A Go-Go is where [...] -

Vidcasts you should be watching, #2: “WebbAlert”

Part 1 in the series here. WebbAlert is a week-daily vidcast hosted by the titular Morgan Webb, of G4’s X-Play fame. The show’s been mentioned here on YMM a few times before. Like Play:Digital, WebbAlert keeps it short, to the point, and entertaining. It’s a great vidcast if you feel you should keeping up with the online and [...] -
Google Knols show RIAA how it’s done

Yeah, I’m comparing Google to the AAs of the world. I’m not jumping on the “Google’s evil” bandwagon just yet, but there’s an analogy here, if you’re allow me: Google is an advertising company. This is not news. They’re not a search engine company, they’re an advertising company. That’s what they do, and it’s where they [...] -

“How did copyright become cool?” is perhaps one of the most well-informed and thought-out articles in the mainstream press on the subject. Sadly, it appears to be web-only, so I guess it didn’t make it into the real paper. But this is a start! The Globe and Mail is, essentially, Canada’s New York Times. It’s based [...] -

via Kottke Alec Baldwin, In his article at the Huffington Post, offers a brilliant way to end the Writers’ Strike: “I want the WGA to set up a website and on that website we can all post stories about every no-talent, idiotic, amoral producer and executive we have ever dealt with. Just like they do to us [...] -
Cory Doctorow on SFWA’s latest PR nightmare
Posted on 30-Nov-07. Filed in Copyright, DRM, Disney, Follow-up, Licensing, News, Writing. Comments (0)
Last night I linked to Charlie Stross’s outrage over the Science Fiction Writers of America putting the guy responsible for their last “piracy” PR debacle in charge of their new anti-piracy committee. Cory Doctorow’s written his opinion of the matter at BoingBoing. And, yeah, he doesn’t sound too impressed by SFWA’s decision, either. “Burt’s copyright projects for [...]
