Reading Lessig’s Remix : Copyright Regulating Culture
Submitted by The Zeds blog on 07.29.10 at 10:56am.
My summer reading this year includes Lawrence Lessig‘s Remix, and it’s so far been refreshing to read about how copyright drives and hampers our culture. Tonight, though, I’m hung up on a dark, sour fact about copyright, especially as it exists in America, which is that an act that was meant to ...

Whom are we?
Submitted by The Ruggist on 07.29.10 at 9:09am.
"Whom are we to judge?" - Unnamed colleague/acquaintance of "The Ruggist"*
The answer to that question is just as complicated and convoluted as the business of design - and by extension the critique thereof - is highly subjective, highly personal, and fraught with anxiety causing potentially dra...

That's So Funny (I Forgot to Laugh)!
Submitted by Pop Culture Divas on 07.29.10 at 9:00am.
By now, most of my online friends know that in addition to being a writer, I play a mean rhythm guitar and love to sing—blues, torch songs, R&B, soul, classic Motown, Beatles, Stones, the list is endless.

Cheating is all about jealousy....
Submitted by Hindsight Is 20-20 on 07.29.10 at 8:56am.
So I watched a video that sex columnist Dan Savage posted on youtube about cheating in a relationship; and this, is my humble opinion.
Cheating is all about jealousy. We fall in love with someone and we say "I love you now you can only love me!" And then we get jealous when they love someone els...

OtterBox Defender
Submitted by Prone to Wander blog on 07.29.10 at 8:50am.
Ok let's face it: Most cell phones and other small consumer devices are not built to last. Case in point: Blackberries. I have destroyed two so far, not by abuse, but by simply using them. My first, an 8830 World Edition seemed ok, but the usb/power port came unstuck from the main board.

Thinner Thursday
Submitted by Mommy's Miracle blog on 07.29.10 at 8:45am.
I've tried to work out before. Do you know what has always been my downfall? Getting sick. Each and every time I get myself into a routine, sickness strikes and I fall out of it, never really getting back into the swing of things.

A Bit Of Inspiration...The SHOCKMASTER!
Submitted by SLAM A RAMA! on 07.29.10 at 8:42am.
A few readers spotted this one as the inspiration for Andar The Berserker's ill-fated debut...in a lot of ways, when my buddy Alex Kennedy first showed it to me, it was the seed that grew into the whole idea for SLAM-A-RAMA many years back.

Submitted by Herohill on 07.29.10 at 7:50am.
As we get closer and closer to Sappyfest, Halifax reaps the rewards of proximity. Not including huge shows like Holy Fuck, Jim Guthrie, and The Sadies, we also get to latch onto the lineup and see smaller acts like Apollo Ghost – note, hell f*cking yeah – that might not make the trip otherwise.

Drilling for your dinner might give you a headache, but it’s the way of the woodpeckers. Two types of birds in this family that are especially helpful at keeping the insect population down are the Northern Flickers and the Hairy Woodpeckers.

Sinclair Inn Museum Window Restoration - Part 3
Submitted by Annapolis Royal Heritage on 07.29.10 at 7:44am.
Today was the day for deglazing the window from the Sinclair Inn Museum which we are having restored. It may say something about me that I am much more familiar with deglazing a frying pan to make a sauce than I am with deglazing a window.

Not funny. To whoever switched the men and women’s washroom signs in our office building: you didn’t succeed, you little gobsucker. A kind and extraordinarily alert female cleaner noticed your hoax, and switched back the signs first thing in the morning, before coming round and telling everybody ...

FPQT Search Term of the Day: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Submitted by Fashionable People, Questionable Things on 07.29.10 at 6:17am.
L-A: I’m guessing the Inception love that’s happening these days is the reason for the recent Joseph Gordon-Levitt googling that’s bringing folks to us. I definitely noticed an increase in searches for Ally’s Pretend Boyfriend Leo happening for a few days. (An aside: Inception was a darn good mov...

I can hardly believe that August arrives with this weekend. Once again I feel as though summer is running away without me. I have not had much time away from the city, out by the water, in the fields,on the country roads, poking about small towns, in the woods, looking at starry skies.........

Will You Live To See The “Dawn Of The Gearheads”?
Submitted by Living Between Wednesdays on 07.29.10 at 6:05am.
I didn’t really know how I felt the first time I finished reading the first issue of Scott Morse’s new IDW series Strange Science Fantasy, only that I’d liked it a lot. A second read-through convinced me that I loved it. It feels less like a comic than a piece of unique art that just happens to b...
