New legislation now mandates that streaming internet broadcasters must pay a small percentage royalty per song they stream. While the idea of paying royaties isn't too bad, it's the rate structure that sucks: it's not just per song, it's also per listener, and it's retroactive since 1998. Do the math and you'll see that many of your favorite streaming radio stations will be going offline and never comming back, and a lot of independent music will be losing it's voice. Help to do something about it.

Also check this out for more info on the how and why of the new laws.

DigitalConsumer.org

While not really all that funny, Digital Consumer is fighting the good fight for your digital rights. I urge you to join them against the CBDTPA (clearly the most shortsighted and tech-unsaavy bill I've ever seen), also known as the SSSCA. This thread at Metafilter contains an excellent letter that you can modify for yourself and send to your state's congress men and women. If you do one good deed today, let this be it.

"Using a complex arrangement of pipes and funnels we turn the junk mail that we receive into a streaming audio broadcast that can be enjoyed from anywhere on the Internet."

Flo Control.
Problem: Cat brings dead/semi-dead animals into house.
Solution: Simply rig up a system that monitors the cat door and applies an image recognition algorithm to a secutiry camera image and decides wether or not to unlatch the door, naturally. I mean, what else would you do?

So, one of the developers we contract with at work has set up a live webcam watching over their site in the South of Market Area in SF. It's pretty amazing, if you choose "video" from the top menubar, you can get streaming video and it lets you zoom in on a suprisingly deatiled view of a pretty wide panorama. If you spend enough time looking around, you can catch things like people smoking cigarettes on the corner or using the porta-potties on the site. I thought you might appreciate it.

Fascinating antics. A guy broke into this office and did a bit of rearranging in the server room. He was apparently cought smoking crack at some point by the SFPD. Anyways, it looks like he was in there for a while, judging by the number of bizarre things he created.
