    Everyone needs to listen to this interview with Cory Doctorow

    It is amazing.

    It's about an hour long. He begins by reading a new short story - one that I am sure will send chills up the spines of the RIAA and the MPAA. It's a story of piracy empowerment that is just awesome.

    He then goes on to talk about the technological and economic singularity, DRM, EULAs, the MPAA, the RIAA, e-readers, the EFF, porn, and all kinds of stuff.

    It is incredible, and a must listen for anyone who cares about technology and the internet.


    The Agony Column podcast is, in general, great. Subscribe!

    Lots of great stuff here.

    I loved his analysis of Tomorrowland. They could have talked about just that for a full hour. Disney is an endlessly fascinating topic of discussion. I started reading a great book by Andrew Ross for a class last semester about Celebration, the "ideal" town Disney built in Florida. Just unbelievable. I went to Disneyland once as a kid, but I don't think I could ever feel comfortable going back.
    Giving up in 2020. Who cares.
