“Typing ‘a href’ is not a creative act”. Well, typing “It was a dark and stormy night” in Word isn’t a creative act either. No atomic act, stripped of context, qualifies as creative.

Debates over linking, content and originality, while still very relevant of course, were nevertheless conducted ad nauseam in the mid to late ’90s and were staple fare for years for many organizations, from West Coast law firms to publications such as Wired Magazine. You may even find an old T-shirt bearing your slogan, although it will probably be a rather uninspiring shade of 1000-wash grey by now… ;)

I totally agree with your point about the copyright “NIMBY”s. “Down with copyright!” (except for that which covers the stuff generating royalties for me! Oh, and that which facilitates the economy within which I work, oh and that which … etc)

OK, I’ve put a new math/spam thing. Let me know if it works.

OK I’ll change the spam thing. For whatever reason it’s been acting up lately. You’re not the first person who’s mentioned it…

This reminds of the Fast Show sketch with Arabella Weir where none of her ideas get heard until one of the guys says it.

Gia,

Looking forward to seeing you. I do read some blogs in Iran, but don’t know any of them personally. I can totally translate though :)

Oh GOOD, Maryam! I’m glad you’re not really angry. Yes, let’s meet up when you’re over (psssst, I might want to talk to you about getting bloggers in Iran for a project I’m doing…)

Jane, hey thanks… I do have to say that I’m proud of that sentence. I think I want it on a Tshirt. Did you know that we were fairly close to working together recently?

Oh Gia, you know I love you. I was just having fun with you and Robert. I always enjoy reading your blog and I could never be pissed off at you. I was merely using the occasion to throw some office supplies at my goofy husband :)

We are heading to UK end of November and I hope we can meet at another geek dinner and have a toast to link love and blogs.

And sorry about the MSN comments thing. I am seriouly looking at another blogware because of it, but then people write entire blog posts about me instead of commenting on my blog and it feeds my little self serving ego :)
