Inflexible dealing
Marshall Kirkpatrick on Read Write Web was inspired by the recent Library of Congress decisions to write a post in praise of Fair Use. He argues that Fair Use is not just acceptable, but that is it essential for the future.
I tend to agree that there is significant value in it being easy and [...]

Death of the throwaway comment
I read these articles from time to time about how people should be more aware that their online conversations might stop them getting a job sometime, e.g. Does Social Media encourage too much revelation?.
And I think: is the job thing really the biggest issue when we are now having conversations online that are both permanent [...]

Social watching
Rupert Howe started a conversation on the videoblogging list the other day about a post Clintus McGintus made on his blog called The Videoblogger is Dead.

A Woman’s Instinct is Always Right
A lot of claims are made for the usefulness and trustworthiness of female intuition (whatever that might be). I was recently party to an online conversation where someone claimed that a woman’s first instinct was always right.
It’s such an extraordinary thing to think, never mind say, but what has really started to obsess me slightly [...]

Nooner
Last night we watched High Noon.
It’s interesting on pacifism. Is pacifism just a lazy way of not having to ever make a stand for anything?
What kind of morality can there be in standing up for what you believe in if you put your own life and the lives of people you love at risk?
But [...]
