Marty told me he was taking good care of you. Then he laughed that strange laughing noise that he makes sometimes.

It's all around us here. I'm spraying vodka on everything and everyone to help disinfect. So far, it's working or at least nobody seems to be complaining.

I don't sing like that at karaoke, no. But I manage pretty well. ;}

Oh I absolutely believe that content creators and especially artists should be paid for their work, but having spent a decade in the music industry, the pitiful amount that actually ends up in artists pockets at the end of the day from a 'legal' digital music sale is miniscule enough as to just be insulting, if it ever gets to them at all.

More artists should have paypal donation boxes on their websites.

BobPoole — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:25:18 -0000

Excellent post and argument for information freedom. You'll get no argument from me. But, I was struggling with the question of what happens to the creative who just want to do their one thing. They don't want to evolve. Don't they have a right to make a living selling their work?

I've thought about this for a long time and if I ask an artist my age that question I will often get a very different answer than you or Jeremy would give me. I believe these artists do have a right to make a living selling their work. And, they believe they need a law to keep others from "stealing" their livelihood.

But, I also believe that by not evolving they will be bypassed by everyone else and the "work" they do will be irrelevant very quickly. They need to change their model. They do need to evolve. The future is built on the past.

Wow! That was quite amazing. I especially liked the fading vibrato at the end of the last piece. Very difficult to smoothly roll it off like that. Bravo!

So do you actually *sing* when you go to karaoke?

This reminds me of 'the two most dangerous words'.

Even doing things that aren't supremely meaningful for you right now in this moment is a step toward meaningful. Make some cookies or something.

Mmmm...cookies.

Re: Megan Flirts With Content, Copyright and Culture

jeremymeyers — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:52:04 -0000

What you're talking about is control. And control is always an illusion. Copyright law didn't stop Dangermouse from making The Grey Album, which brought him to the attention of Cee-Lo, which lead to Gnarls Barkley. We all break the copyright illusion all day. It's a myth, and clinging to the myth that any one of us has any control over what happens in life, and attaching ourselves to that, is the cause of great suffering. It's true on a personal level, and on a legal level.

Information wants to be free, people will talk and share whether the law wants us to or not.

Ideas don't belong to us, they belong to the world, and sometimes they flow through our minds and bodies.

The spirit of global sharing that we're on a path to achieve through the internet and love will bring this realization, i hope.

Or, in shorter words, "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it,"

You DID warn us that it's only part one... so only a light spanking if you don't deliver part 2 soon!

*attempts to grab a hold of time and watches it fall through his hands!*
*shakes his head*
Trying to grab a hold of a non physical objects is riddled with issues.

*grabs a clock and throws it against the wall*
Now there is time flying! Incidentally, I think I may have broke time too. We'll see.

I have drifted away. I now drift back.

You're amazing, M. Oh, not that; anyone could learn to sing opera in a complex language they don't even speak. Cake. No, I mean, you do *do* stuff. Life comes at you like a runaway bus and you don't jump out of the way--you jump *on*

Hey; you're that scene in Lord of the Rings where Gimli comes up behind Legolas on their horse, and the elf just grabs the harness *from behind his head* and swings himself up into the saddle.

Amazing.

Thanks to Bob Poole's generosity and your proprietary editing (and more people to say thanks to mentioned in the book - you know who you are). I am now a proud holder of an eBook version. Very (i) inspiring, useful, and quoteworthy. For example:

It’s far easier to learn from other people’s mistakes than your own. This way, you can learn from mine. -- Bob Poole

Two more on my posterous blog.
