Spoken English – FreeCultureGreat WIKI of Lawrence Lessig’s Free Culture book including MP3’s . The nbook is very very good especially the stories about FM radio and the Phonograph with a really good bit about how photography would never have taken off if you had to get the permission of the person who owned the scene you wanted to photograph (Like me getting stopped for taking a photo of Attila Csörgö work in Kettles Yard yesterday)

Wow, I hope this isnt an April Fool. But this guy has a new Treo 610shellen.com ::: are you my friend? yes – no with blutooth and high res camera. Fantastic

OK OK I was done at least it was before midday!
