The Illustrated Story of Copyright

Alex sez, "The now out of print The Illustrated Story of Copyright is now available online. Unfortunately it's not under any sort of Creative Commons license. The permissions page is here. Personally I find the current online layout a little bit hard to read and confusing, this is the sort of thing that could really be improved if only people were allowed to 'remix' it for better legibility."

Krugman Looks at Kerry's Healthcare Plan
A good summary of kerry's healthcare plan. Preview: it reduces premiums on all by covering catasrophic illness costs. Insures millions more children. All in all, a good plan for those of us who are not rich. And the cost? A mere fraction of Bush's tax cuts over ten years.

Grew up in Middle Tennessee. Grad school in Austin, Texas. Ph. D. is in rhetoric from the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Texas. I taught at Denison University in Ohio for three years prior to arriving at Marymount Manhattan College. I am interested in communication technologies from ancient times into the future. I think the alphabet is a cool technology--glad it's "open source." I'm happy to be in NYC and to use the city as a classroom.
