Check out my notes on the Freedom to Connect conference now, at Listics dot com.  Have I mentioned that http://listics.com is Sandhill Trek rel. 3.0 and you should update your links?

Public Notice...

This site will henceforth be very drafty.  The empty halls will echo with the remembrance of long lost posts.  Well, not really THAT.  I'll do my best to prevent link rot.  But do change your blogrolls to point to Sandhill Trek rel. 3.0 otherwise known as "listics."  Listics is at http://listics.com

The RSS 2.0 feed is simply http://listics.com/feed

Please.  Toss me a link there...

EFF Takes Down Legal Guide for Bloggers

...Opens Online Home for Wayward MySpace Profiles

San Francisco - You might have noticed that EFF has removed its Student Bloggers' Legal FAQ. This was in response to a cease-and-desist notice we received for "encouraging kids to talk back to their parents and teachers." This incident has opened our eyes to a new plague on the Internet -- the lost and wandering MySpace profiles of thousands of young people across our nation.

"These profiles are an unfiltered view of young people's thoughts and dreams, and that's just scary," said Bea Kweiter, a volunteer at the online home. "If this freewheeling expression is allowed to continue, there's no way the people associated with it will ever get a job in the real world. Well, unless some boss somewhere has a MySpace profile of her own. But that would never happen."

The home offers a safe place for profiles to learn how to self-censor. There is also a detox center for exclamation-point overload.

Maria at Alembic shares some drawings, including a pencil sketch of Mount Tamalpais the way she remembers it before the rains of March closed it off from view.

I'm at the Hilton in Silver Spring, Maryland.  The day dawned bright and humid.  It's a musuem day... Hokusai at the Sackler, Degas/Sickert/Lautrec at the Phillips Collection.

In technology news...  a marvelous web 2.0 smash-up at The Register that allows you to customize your own interface. USB tanning unit at ThinkGeek.

I'm off to tweak the listics design a little more.  Actually... today I'm downloading the Qumana 3.0 beta to see how it will play into my strategy to workaround the posting limitations of the native WordPress interface.  (No fooling).
