Posted by: kegill on: 28 November 2006
We set a new record for the amount of rain in November — and we might break the record for the most rain in any month (set in like 1890). Then Sunday, it started snowing. Right now, it’s 10.8 degrees and there’s still snow on the ground here. This is a "must" write about.

Posted by: kegill on: 6 November 2006
Chris Anderson points me to Ethan Zuckerman’s excellent summary of a talk he gave last month: “What Happens When Things Get Free?” This is tres timely for me, as I’m talking to my class tomorrow night about how digital goods change the economic model of scarcity.
