Holy cow. It turns out that the Terms and Conditions that YouTube published just a few days ago actually gives YouTube (and anyone that might buy them in the future) a non-expiring royalty free license to use the content posted on their site any way they please.

We had a nice downpour of rain today. I caught a quick snap of raindrops on our rose bush.

Barry's Blog has a great discussion on demographic shifts in the US and what it means to the arts. No longer can theatres count on season ticket holders as the Boomers retire and gen xyz build up as consumers.

This probably tickles me because of our recent trip to Australia, where we saw lots of kangaroos both wild and in parks.

In my work with ArtistsRegister.com at WESTAF, we've are very sensitive to the needs of our artist members. We want them to sell work, garner commissions, be successful. In the last year, we have seen wave after wave after wave of scammers trying all manner of deception to cheat hard working artists out of money and artwork. Pretty much every artist I know, that makes a living form his or her art, struggles for every penny they have.

I've added Beth Kanter's Blog to my list of blogs on the right. I've known Beth for quite some time--I met her because of our mutual interest in the Arts/Technology sphere. She and I have sat on an NEA panel together.

I respect the work that Beth has done (and continues to do). Check out her blog for insightful comments on technology, the arts, and other good stuff.

Social Networking has become a buzz word in recent months--and years. It was original coined back in the 50's before anyone had a clue that the Internet even existed. Social networks tend to run between 120 and 150 individuals--sometimes known as Dunbar's number. In a social network, each person is a node--just like in the parlance of computer networks.
