Holding back no barb, John Dvorak is a self proclaimed Creative Commons Humbug: Will someone explain to me the benefits of a trendy system developed by Professor Lawrence Lessig of Stanford? Dubbed Creative Commons, this system is some sort of secondary copyright license that, as far as I can tell, does absolutely nothing but threaten […]
More fun, graphics creative Frivolity. Logogle, the Google Logo maker, allows you to turn any text into the style Google’s word log. See for example, the new monetizing entity, CogDogBlogoogle: This was found via a curious site trendalicious which bubbles up popular sites that have recently been tagged in del.icio.us: trendalicious is a near real-time […]

Tagging is in. You’re It! From tagging web sites to bookmarks, to photos it is changing the way we look at and organize large globs of information.
