I’m too lazy to entertain you all the time; so sometimes I just point you at the good stuff.

Boing Boing recently pointed out a music video created by Jonathan Coulton. Mr. Coulton went to Flickr and found a bunch of images with Creative Common licenses. He then created a touching music video based on those images. This is the sort of thing that could not have been done without Creative Commons as Mr. Coulton would have have been tied up for weeks & weeks searching for the copyright owners of the images to get each of their permission to use the images in his project.

Mr. Coulton also has a selection of his other songs (also CC licensed) on his website which are worth downloading.

Due to recent crackdowns at the office on Internet access, this is likely to be the last PLotW. Also due to those crack downs, there is only one link this week.

Update: In case you are wondering why the links went up today instead of Friday that would be due to the Thanksgiving holiday being celebrated this week. As an extra bonus, here’s a sneak peek on a little WP hack I’ve been working on. Once I know that my code is correctly displaying the number of spam comments in the moderation queue; I’ll post it. Since I’m a -Z^42 list blogger1 it will probably take a day or two before I get any spam comments in my queue. So please be patient.

Gossamer Commons, 16 Nov 2006

To borrow “snarkism”, somebody deserves a tasty, tasty biscut for today’s bit of hilarity over at Gossamer Commons.

If you do not regularly follow the strip; Malachite saved Keith from a Barghast by summoning forth Apokoryfoma. She’s a Neriad and the Viceroy of the Cul-de-Sac. She also happens to be Malachite’s ex-girlfriend. *laugh* If that were not bad enough by her code Keith is now required to make some sort of sacrifice to her, as a token of gratitude for saving him. Unfortunately, he’s not exactly overburned with resources at the moment and offers up a candy bar. Today’s strip is Appie’s reaction. Greg Holkan‘s art and Eric Burns‘ one line of text in this strip blend beautifully. Malachite’s reaction in the background of the strip is particularly worth paying attention to. 😀

I know posts have been sparse lately. Since loading Ubuntu Breezy (5.10) on my laptop; I’m working again on trying to get the sound up & running. I’m also documenting the process of getting it working; so hopefully I’ll have a useful post up soon.
