- Philip Pullman on censorship and free speech — pithy and wonderful – Boing Boing ”It was a shocking thing to say and I knew it was a shocking thing to say. But no one has the right to live without being shocked. No one has the right to spend their life without being offended. Nobody has to read this book. Nobody has to pick it up. Nobody has to open it. And if you open it and read it, you don’t have to like it. And if you read it and you dislike it, you don’t have to remain silent about it. You can write to me, you can complain about it, you can write to the publisher, you can write to the papers, you can write your own book. You can do all those things, but there your rights stop. No one has the right to stop me writing this book. No one has the right to stop it being published, or bought, or sold or read. That’s all I have to say on that subject.”
- Snart kan du ha ett mörkrum i fickan Vill bara påminna om det roliga i att det digitala först dödade det analoga för att sedan återuppliva det, men digitalt. Exempel: Lo-Mob, Hipstamatic, Poladroid osv.
- Philip Pullman Sets Aside His Dark Materials For His Dark Messiahs [Controversy] Intressant, men troligen tråkigt. Jag läste nyligen om Den mörka materian och det är fortfarande den första delen som är bäst. Fantasirik, inbjudande och med arga hugg mot kyrkan. Men uppföljarna tyngs ner av att de ska vara dessa hårda antireligiösa skrifter att de tröttar ut berättelsen.
- What The Hell Is Buried In This Half-Ton Coffin? [Cthulhu] Fantasieggande.
- How to Access the BBC iPlayer (and TV Like Doctor Who) from Outside the U.K. [Web Filtering] Ska bli intressant att se hur det här funkar på The Clouds nät. Hittills har de stoppat de flesta VPN-system, som Hotspot Shield.
