Dvorak (take 2!)

by Rob Friesel

Sampo follows up on the Dvorak vs. Creative Commons thing by referencing the Slashdot thread on the subject. One thing that I noticed keeps poking its head in a rather unfortunate way: Creative Commons licenses provide an accessible, relatively easy way for folks to publish content “with strings attached” but without worrying about having their […]

Dvorak on Creative Commons

by Rob Friesel

Via Slashdot: Dvorak trashes Creative Commons… There are several things that bother me about this initiative. First, Creative Commons is similar to a license. You sign up with the group and post a message saying that your material is protected or covered by Creative Commons. This means that others have certain rights to reuse the […]

dizzy (take 6! 5! 4…!)

by Rob Friesel

Dr’s visit was largely inconclusive. Fluid in the ears? Probably. Probably not an infection. Which was nice but it still would have been nice to know a little more conclusively what’s making my skull feel like a 24/7 toboggan ride from hell. Granted, towards the end of the day yesterday I was thinking for the […]

dream.20050719: son of led

by Rob Friesel

Concert time! Cloned sons of Robert Plant and David Bowie give a concert of Led Zepplin covers. We’re supposed to think it’s Zepplin. For some reason it’s held at some state park with shit loads of waterfalls. And because I snuck in, I’m forever being chased by security. Lots of high-wire stunts. Lots of tight-rope […]

I dig what I hear so far. Kind of a mature Frou Frou meets Nightmares On Wax. currently playing: Atomica “Delorian”

did i miss something?

by Rob Friesel

Perusing the iTunes Music Store recently, I stumbled across the new Nick Warren. The first surprise was that I’d thought after Reykjavik he’d said he wasn’t doing another of these mixes. And then I thought to myself Why haven’t I seen one of these mixes in the iTMS before? I’d certainly looked. And then things […]

Detroit Rock City

by Rob Friesel

Saw this amusing flick last night. Don’t think this is something that I would have picked up on my own but a friend left it over here urging us to give it a viewing. So we did. Funny stuff. A little strange at point, a little puerile, but fun.

dizzy

by Rob Friesel

Concern is wondering why all of the sudden you’re dizzy almost all the time for no real reason. I woke up Tuesday and had to grab the wall to keep from falling over. I managed to get myself straightened out more/less and made it through the drive to work and then work itself w/ only […]
