Cows?

In today's New York Times, there is an editorial, When Good Photo-Ops Go Bad

It ends off with the comment:

Right now, Mr. Bush's potential opponents may be enjoying the administration's current embarrassment, but they'll feel different the next time they're in Iowa and a staff member announces it's time for the portrait with the cow.

I found this particularly interesting in light of an entry in Rick Klau's blog yesterday entitled Caption contest showing Howard Dean standing in front of a cow.

For those of you who haven't checked out DeanSpace.org, please do. It is based on Drupal and has some interesting potential for distributed grassroots campaigning.

Also, they have now added Trackbacks.

FCC working to widen digital divide?

Today, on one of the Howard Dean mailing lists I am on, I received a copy of press release from the FCC in which Commisioner Copps asks, "Is The Internet As We Know It Dying?"

It prompted me to check out current regulations proposed by the FCC. One of the websites I heard about at the AoIR conference is www.regulations.gov.

I am a new medium

Over on NetTime, there is a discussion about what exactly 'New Media' really is. As they argue round and round about this, I figured I would make a fun assertion.

I am a new medium.

or, in MOOCode

NewMedia = {@NewMedia, me};

I don't really know what this means, but I think some interesting copyright issues apply. In terms of DNA based media, there are currently three derivative works. They production of these derivative works was permitted by me. No other DNA based derivative works may be produced without my explicit consent. More importantly, my wife would need to consent, and she wishes to reserve the right of any and all future DNA based derivative works.
