This video is huge. 40mb. And it’s for Ryan.
We spent our first vacation together.
For 7 days, we stayed in a country house with no internet access.
We didn’t kill each other, so it must be the opposite of hate.

VIDEO: Vacation in the country
Sunday, July 31st, 2005Come to the other side….
Wednesday, July 20th, 2005I just got done reading JD Lasica’s Darknet.
JD, who is known to videobloggers as the co-founder of OurMedia, is also an accomplished journalist.
In the book, he describes the challenges we face moving into a world where all information is able to flow seamlessly.
Much of it has to do with the laws that are being pushed by traditional media afraid of this new world.
Longer and longer copyrights, hardware that comes with anti-piracy built-in, tougher laws for file sharers. He does a great job explaining technical and legal arguments through personal stories.
The idea is this: flowing digital information is a reality. If companies continue creating walled gardens and make what people do illegal…then the "Darknet" will continue to grow….and more and more people become "criminals".
So go and buy the book. Remember reading books made of paper?
