Re: The Deal with Film Permits

This is a great post. I definitely had no idea that permits are required for anything beyond a tripod + camera.

...and insurance for a million dollars?! That is hefty! Just to be clear though, you do mean it's for a coverage of at least $1M and not that one have to provide $1M to be insured...?

Who knew that poker playing can inspire such fantastic story telling.

I missed your set! I told my friends about it but I did not have the chance to see it myself last week.

If you are concerned about ownership, what you created is something new and you should be proud of it. I invite you to watch a video by Larry Lessig on TED.com:

Re: What are we doing when we Twitter?

I think that Twitter are many things to many different people. Here are uses I have observed from my friends:

1. Some folks use it to announce new blog posts (@mashable, @nyt, etc)
2. Some folks use it to report really personal statuses (@ararinert, @kipbot, etc)
3. Some folks use it to vent (@antikewl, @saturdave, etc)
4. Some folks use it to log every single thing that they are doing, i.e. microblog, and as such does all of the above (@seeminglee - that's me)

I think that you can't really enjoy Twitter unless you use a Twitter app such as Snitter that's constantly running. @arainert gave me shit about not using RSS readers for news anymore, and he's right, I don't. I rely on Twitter now.

All the blogs that I follow has a Twitter account and they tweet about their post with a fairly good digest anyhow. 140 word count really get people to write their gists, which is good. It's communication in WSJ style, which is great when you don't have much time--that applies to everyone these days.
