Designing a game would be fun.

fun tappity tappity!

I don’t have time to read this right now… but it seemed worth linking to.

Is that irresponsible of me, I wonder? My reality tunnel tends to support the idea that things are usually not as bad as they’re made out to be…

I’m going to buy Cory Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.

He’s distributing his book online for free at the above site. I want to reward this guy, monetarily, for being such a good sport. And I want to let his publisher know that they’ve got my support for them to be moving in this direction too. It seems like, in these cases, money speaks louder than words.

International Children’s Digital Library

If only they’d had something like this when I was a kid…………… This is amazing.

these burbling kinders gotta (oh yez) froop mippy po doop!

(all the cornucopia of frazzling wompers! yeehaw!)

Allconsuming.net plus Jon Udell’s LibraryLookup equals more fun than I’ve found in a while.

It certainly saves a step when accessing the local library.

Increasingly, I find that it’s this kind of thing that makes my brain curl in pleasing ways. Is this the big idea that I’m latching onto? It’s hard to tell. I’m more interested about this, in a hobbyhorse kind of way, than anything that I’ve been exposed to in the last few years.

I don’t know if I would buy this book, but I’m definitely interested in reading it.

It’s not available at the library yet. Damn these 2003 book titles! Trying to catch up with a 21st century technology using 15th century technology…

Scary science fiction about the dangers of copyright and technology.

Free, public libraries are a resource that must be defended.
