Over a year ago I wrote about my friend Neva: I wasn’t living in Long Beach when Melissa Etheridge made her breakthrough playing locally at a club called Que Sera on 7th Street (funny that her wikipedia article doesn’t mention Que Sera), but every time I come out and watch Neva I think I’m seeing …
I love this video. As a former 6th grade teacher who specialized in social studies and particularly making the Epic of Gilgamesh real to barrio kids who visited me years later to share with them more about Utnapishtim. This is so perfect as we discuss “fan fiction.” Thanks for the heads-up, Julia Mc.
Part three of my three part media merry-go-round: Creative Commons (Part 1: Copyright; Part 2: Fair-Use; Part 3: Creative Commons). After I’ve scared them to death with the all powerful Copyright, and confused them with the slippery Fair-Use, it’s time calm the nerves with a little common sense Creative Commons.

So now I’m working on step two of my three part media merry-go-round: Fair-Use (Part 1: Copyright; Part 2: Fair-Use; Part 3: Creative Commons). It’s hard to talk about one without talking about the others. We talked about Copyright last week, but whenever the conversation shifted to usage than Fair-Use and Creative Commons were ready …
I’ve posted this video/artist before: “Mother of all funk-chords,” I’m just glad that his videos are available on YouTube (once again). Check out his non-Remix stuff on iTunes: Kutiman
This time last year I confessed to one hidden cost I hadn’t counted on in moving to a one-bedroom apartment from a studio: purchasing another TV.
