Moving Image Contest Finalists

The finalists in Arts Project Moving Image Contest have been announced. The contest asked entrants to create short films demonstrating some of the tensions between art and intellectual property law, and the intellectual property issues artists face, focusing on either music or documentary film.

Carcassonne

Despite growing up playing TV video games, computer games, and handheld electronic games, I still love the old fashioned board game. The newest addition to the Snave family cabinet is Carcassonne. Haven’t played it yet, but I look forward to it. Thanks to my Secret Santa (Hanukkah Harry?). This was a wonderful and generous gift. [...]

Wireless Network Hammerin’

The wireless network in my house went haywire. It worked on three PCs, one had a horrible connection, and one can’t connect. Between Paul and me, we spent a lot of time researching and trying to figure out the problem. We narrowed down the possibilities few by doing tests. Paul is the network king in [...]

Tom Peters’ Project04

I’ve learned a lot from Tom Peters especially from The Pursuit of Wow! Compared to this and past books, Project04: Snapshots of Excellence in Unstable Times is disappointing. In it, he shares 60 TIBs (This I believe). According to the publisher, “The overarching message in Project ‘04 is that your job, and life as you know [...]

Testing, Marqui, 1… 2… 3…

I went into Marqui’s communications management system this morning and played with it for a couple of hours. Right off the bat, I discovered it won’t work with anything but IE-based browsers. It works fine with Maxthon, an IE-based browser. In trying to load Web Trends, it stated I needed to turn on Javascript and told [...]
