Busted

I see that Andy caught my debut posting over at the 2Guys2Cities blog last night before I even knew Michael had posted it up there!

No, Andy, I was actually on vacation last week. I met Michael Lacy a few months ago and he suggested I do some writing for their site, mostly focused on information for the home user, which is a little bit different from what I do here. They’re going to be revamping the whole site fairly soon, and he wanted to kind of “test the waters” with some of my stuff before the new site launched. Seeing an opportunity to move beyond my normal audience of techies, I volunteered my services. We’ll see how it works out, I’ve already gotten a number of things written, partially written or that I’m thinking about, but I’m open to suggestions on what information should be shared with home users!

    Brian, in the comments on the last post, decries the fact that we are giving individual rights to corporations. He may have a point in that, but I want to clarify where I stand on the copyright issue. I do believe in copyrights, and I do believe that even corporations that create artistic works, or…
