rejon is Jon Phillips.

I’m really counting down to have some time to do major maintenance on my various projects once school is out May 12.

Check these links out:

• Mia’s (General Counsel from Creative Commons) talk transcript in virtual space is now online. The title of the talk is “Age of the Conducer.” I’m really into the title.
• Construction at WTC grounds in NYC began.
• A lovely summary of my favorite book: How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie.
• I’m battling the other rejons on google. Let the games begin…

It is interesting to hear how much software costs. I forgot this until yesterday when in a SFAI faculty meeting, different faculty discussed the costs of various 3D apps.

Schools should take the cost of one of their software licenses and setup a freedom toaster for students to download and burn high-quality free and open source sofware as well as free and open content.

Today is the 50 year anniversary of the birth of the standard industrial shipping container. Hats off to the age of containerization.

Back in grad school, myself, Matt Hope and Nathaniel Clark started MESH.FM with a bang by doing many events in a large trash compactor, much like the industrial shipping container.

I just ordered Marc Levinson’s book, The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger.
