Just one more a capella video… Mortal Kombat in Central Park
What good thing could come of an intellectually dishonest smear campaign against Lawrence Lessig? Mike Masnick absolutely ripping it to shreds.
As a general comment, these defenders of “intellectual property” don’t seem to understand that granting artificial monopolies involves more government intervention, not less. Free culture is not communism. Also, these guys consistently fail to recognize the differences between tangible and intellectual property.
Read more about this from Lessig’s blog as well.
There’s an xkcd comic for everything in life.

What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they’ll keep being wrong!

My girlfriend captured this video at the Improv Everywhere inspired (Toronto chapter) event at the Eaton Centre earlier today. My brother and I were frozen down the hall, but the large concentration of people were at the main fountain were the video was filmed.
Notice how people gathered all along the railings on the upper levels to see what was going on – huge success!
Update: Improv Everywhere covers the event in Toronto and London.
It’s 4am and I’ve already made several posts tonight. Maybe I’m just overtired, but Masnick has got me roaring with laughter:
Late Sunday a new rumor arose: Yahoo! might try to keep Microsoft away by merging with AOL. That seems sort of like trying to keep a wild animal from eating you by covering yourself with feces. It might make awful sense for about a second, but it’s just a bad, bad idea.
As Thom says in the comments, “never has covering yourself with feces been funnier than when it’s being compared to buying AOL.”
I recently performed at an open mic. at St. Mike’s College (University of Toronto). Below is a video that my girlfriend kindly took of our last song.
