Bring Dead Art Back to Life!

Monday, October 25th, 2004

Awesome! Undeadart.org (a division of FreeCulture) is having a contest to remix clips from classic zombie flicks! What an awesome idea! Since the public domain includes the classic Night of the Living Dead, one imagines that you could do a fairly good job of it. They also include a link to the movie Amid the Dead, which I will have to watch when I get home tonight.

Just in time for Halloween!

Materials licensed under Creative Commons licenses are becoming more and more popular, and more and more mainstream. As reported on BoingBoing, Knitty is a web-published knitting magazine, and for a special breast-cancer awareness issue, they decided to publish their patterns under a Creative Commons license, specifically the Attribution-NoCommercial-NoDerivs license. Check out the patterns: I’m more of a crochet guy myself, but can knit in a pinch. The socks look comfy.

Happy Anniversary Honey!

Ten years ago I had a job interview with SGI, and afterwards went on a first date with Carmen. I didn’t get the job, but I did get to meet a marvelous woman, and in 2000 I made her my wife. Her patience, kindness and humor all work to make me a better man, and I love her more each day.

Happy Anniversary Honey!
