« l o c a l - w e a t h e r »: notes on copyright reform in canada: bring out the thumbscrews!

http://localweather.blogspot.com/2008/06/notes-on-copyright-reform-in-canada.html

Mostly asinine; sometimes funny). Friday, June 13, 2008. In a Toronto Star editorial today. Of course the editorial talks about protecting the rights of businesses and artists, those digital content creators the new law is designed to protect. this certainly has all the trappings of a noble cause, as the production of a nation's artistic community creates an important cultural as well as intellectual heritage. Forms (they're long had that ability, notably with cameras), they have the ability to distribute.

« l o c a l - w e a t h e r »: Doctoring C-51

http://localweather.blogspot.com/2008/05/doctoring-c-51.html

Mostly asinine; sometimes funny). Thursday, May 15, 2008. Section 2.3 of the proposed bill C-51, the (Canada) Food and Drugs Act, reads as follows:. The purpose of this Act is to protect and promote the health and safety of the public and encourage accurate and consistent product representation by prohibiting and regulating certain activities in relation to foods, therapeutic products and cosmetics. Isn't necessarily the same as who one is. My argument isn't that nobody's perfect. It's that no. Returning...

http://localweather.blogspot.com/2008/05/sydney-pollack.html

Mostly asinine; sometimes funny). Tuesday, May 27, 2008. I suspect only little blips will appear about Sydney Pollack in the popular press. his career in film and television was too erratic for contemporary tastes so eager to pin down identities and pigeonhole personae to the point of caricature. Pollack, who died yesterday at the age of 73, wasn't best known for anything: he was a sometime actor, a quite successful director at one point—remember Tootsie. Or The Quiet American.

Mostly asinine; sometimes funny). Wednesday, July 09, 2008. This russian site features a huge number of posters from the 20th century up to the present day, and even some from the 1800s. Not all are as strange as this, "A Children Meeting" (1923) by A.I. Komarav, but all are very interesting and worth a look. The site is in both russian and english. Links to this post. Friday, July 04, 2008. What do we think we're doing when we make photos to share on Facebook, Flickr, or similar social media? Although i...

http://localweather.blogspot.com/2008/07/framing-photography.html

Mostly asinine; sometimes funny). Friday, July 04, 2008. Questions i've recently come to think about as central to my work on photographic practice by everyday folk include:. What do we think we're doing when we make photos to share on Facebook, Flickr, or similar social media? What motivates someone to make images either truthfully, authoritatively, ironically, playfully, or with some other value system in mind? How does one know when or why to make images of one kind and not another? For me, social med...

http://localweather.blogspot.com/2008/05/loud-music-noise-and-environmental.html

Mostly asinine; sometimes funny). Monday, May 19, 2008. Loud Music, Noise, and Environmental Alternatives. Don't get me wrong: I like. To listen to loud music. I don't like all. Types of music, but I like many, and I do. Like hearing the subtleties that only close proximity (when it's live) or high volume (when it's recorded) can provide. Let me correct that: other people's indiscriminantly. A less obvious trend is loud music played by those who need a constant background track to their lives. Campus...
