Quickbits
I've got little time and lots to say, so I'll make this quick: Some people resist change, while some adopt. The whole file sharing thing put this simple fact of life on the table once again. Another fact: if you don't adopt you might end up extinct... Fortunately there are bands out there who do get it: 'Music Is Not a Loaf of Bread'.

Interesting thoughts on the Wikipedia project. Some valid points, but also a rather one-sided view. I for one, have a firm belief that a truly anarchistic system like Wikipedia allows for greater freedom of information than anything concieved to date. Any information should always be treated with a grain of salt, regardless of source. There is, after all, no way to know for sure that the sun will rise again tomorrow. See the Wikipedia article on knowledge, section on the problem of justification for details. Or, to put it in popular terms: It really is a (theoretical) possibility that there is no spoon.
Quick renovating note
The new place is starting to take shape. Almost all walls are painted by now, and some rooms are finished. The place is starting to look like a home. Good stuff.
