Note this site has been mostly down for the last few months.

Why Microsoft should get out of DRM

“Here’s what I’m here to convince you of:

  1. That DRM systems don’t work
  2. That DRM systems are bad for society
  3. That DRM systems are bad for business
  4. That DRM systems are bad for artists
  5. That DRM is a bad business-move for MSFT”

Track Calculator

“Have you ever been frustrated by having to use the outer lanes of the local high school or college track. You know what you want to do in Lane 1 but are not sure how to adapt your plan to the outer lanes.”

An extraordinarily handy tool if you’re, say, training to walk a marathon.

Wasps and their Ways

An online re-printing of a study on wasps published in 1900. I really like this.
