Remaindered Links
Another installment of a bunch-a-links that would have made too-short blog entries: * Fascinating interview with the maker of Mad Hot Ballroom. Copyright clearances made up nearly half the cost of the film. * Enlisting the power of the interweb to find an apartment in Greenpoint. Need to do something, since NYC is the 13th [...]
1 and 1 Hosting Sucks

They would need to get good people: maybe they should hire me :). On the mapping front, Google has released Google [...]

I bring this up because it feeds directly into a discussion we had in the capstone seminar a couple weeks ago. We had talked about whether it was appropriate for bloggers to accept gifts. In this case, and [...]
