- On Warranties – Glenn Otis Brown clarifies the creative commons license on indemnifying content users, as brought up by Dan Bricklin. It’s a tricky topic – do you encourage people to use your works by taking on any burden of alternative copyright claims against your work. Or do you share that burden, even as you share your work?
- Vi for Squeak – it sounds perverse, but I’ve had a lot more fun with Squeak since I installed this. It’s also one of the few changesets that I’ve managed to file in without getting a fistful of confusing errors.
- Lisp advocates – critique of Paul Graham and co. for being a bit too superior about the failure of Lisp.
- 23 – well-regarded movie about hackers, and in particular Karl Koch (Hagbard), the Illuminatus-obsessed German hacker who sold secrets to the KGB and ended up committing suicide. In German. Features cameo by Robert Anton Wilson!
- Fast Forward Fifty Years – sadly curtailed autobiography of Bob Forward, pragmatic hyper-futurist. Free download.
