  doug - off the record — Authority: 433
  I just found about Sprixi .  It looks like a new search engine devoted just for finding images that are licensed for friendly use under Creative Commons or in the Public Domain.  It’s so new that random searches create new topics but that’s OK.

  doug - off the record — Authority: 433

  doug - off the record — Authority: 433
  One of the things that I think we all get when we introduce Twitter to people is the comment “I don’t get it”.  “I’ve created a Twitter account and nothing happens”.

  doug - off the record — Authority: 433
  I started getting really serious about this when my Netbook became part of my life.  Because of its smaller screen size, you start to worship every pixel that you can.  When you start a browser, it’s generally to do thing on the internet, right?  If you actually peel pack the covers and think about it, there are ...

  I had a long conversation with a friend of mine recently about terms of use of websites. These are the things that you see when you install software.  You know; you go out and buy $100 of software and then have to agree to the terms of the vendor before you use it.  Essentially, it’s a summary of your obligations ...
