With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.

Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

Everybody else got the chills while watching this, right? Ok, good.

Members of Congress finally introduce serious DMCA reform | Ars Technica

Members of Congress finally introduce serious DMCA reform | Ars Technica:

“Americans should not be subject to fines and criminal liability for merely unlocking devices and media they legally purchased,” said Rep. Lofgren in a press release. “If consumers are not violating copyright or some other law, there’s little reason to hold back the benefits of unlocking so people can continue using their devices.”

Lofgren’s bill attracted enthusiastic support from activists and advocacy groups that had been lukewarm about previous unlocking bills.

“This is the only piece of legislation so far introduced that legalizes both cell phone unlocking, but also the underlying technology for cell phone unlocking,” said Derek Khanna, a conservative activist who was fired from his job on Capitol Hill for advocating copyright reform.

“This legislation is exactly what the digital community was asking for,” he told us in a phone interview. “It’s exactly what the small cell phone providers were looking for. Unlike the other legislation, it actually solves the problem.”

Sane copyright reform? Probably means it’ll never pass.

My proudest (and only) contribution to this bunch of awesomeness: the 3D spin on the header when searching. Everything else was some seriously kickass work between Cait and Sean.

Introducing Vimeow

We’ve been working to develop a new kind of online experience: one that combines the digital freedom of the web with the analog pleasure of luxuriating in a patch of sunlight on your living room floor. It’s a place to hide when people come over, and a way to connect with other feral, potentially rabid strays. It’s the home for your cat videos. It’s called Vimeow >

Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: 'Sure, Who Cares' | The Onion

Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:05:00 -0400

Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: 'Sure, Who Cares' | The Onion:

In an alternate, rational universe:

Ten minutes into oral arguments over whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to marry one another, a visibly confounded Supreme Court stopped legal proceedings Tuesday and ruled that gay marriage was “perfectly fine” and that the court could “care less who marries whom.”

“Yeah, of course gay men and women can get married. Who gives a shit?” said Chief Justice John Roberts, who interrupted attorney Charles Cooper’s opening statement defending Proposition 8, which rescinded same-sex couples’ right to marry in California. “Why are we even seriously discussing this?”
