Cracked House Party
Okay, I’ll link it. Lawls, especially the Kevin Rose bit.
On TeeVee!
Thanks to Ayako, proof that I am big on TV in Japan! We shot a day’s worth of footage for 30 minutes of show, around the 6A offices, South Park and my house for a learn-English show in Japan. It was sweet. We played Katamari on the Xbox!

Echoes
Yesterday I was reminded of a few pithy truisms about Ye Olde Internets: Never post anything on the internet that you aren’t comfortable with it existing forever. On the internet, copyright is largely irrelevant. APIs and the ecosystem they support provide interesting mechanisms for discovering both new works and infringement.
I’m pretty liberal with usage rights. In general, if someone isn’t deriving income from the reuse of something I’ve created, then I don’t request compensation, only credit. I’ve considered using a blanket Creative Commons license for [most of] my stuff, but haven’t researched it enough to understand all the ramifications. For now, everything is ©, All Rights Reserved. This has proven to work well. I used to create textures for the indie mapping scene. Occasionally I’d get reports from people who’d played a game that reused my textures without credit (or compensation), but in all cases a few phone calls or emails resolved the situation.
Yesterday I saw a Google link to a Flickr DNA page for my photos. From there, I clicked to a related Technorati page with references to my photos. Curious, I dug in a bit more and found these minor references:
- 10000 ft from Mauna Kea
- Did You Knows?
- Mike Cane linking my Oh Noes Foleo picture.
Simple, nothing crazy or too profound, but interesting to see what other people think is interesting.
Fligr for Flickr
TypePad doesn’t have any of the great Flickr connectivity that Vox does, and I really wanted a way to quickly post photos from my Flickr account to this blog. So begat this hack:
Fligr, the Flickr grabber.
Drag the link to your browser toolbar (or click to test on this page). Hooray, easy HTML to poach photos!
