This poor WordPress theme (Design Agency by Simon Bouchard) has only lasted a few months, but alas, I’m feeling the inexorable tug of web design wanderlust. I like this theme a lot.

Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing says that SFWA may have used the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to inappropriately request the removal of numerous works from a site called Scribd. (I’ll link to SFWA’s statement when they post it.) Instead of bashing SFWA, I want to relate a positive experience I recently had with Creative Commons [...]
