Tom Lehrer has died. Also, he has released all of his songs into the public domain (before dying).

So download sheet music and perform them at family gatherings and other appropriate events: https://tomlehrersongs.com/
(or just listen to the mp3s)

The book is looking good! Overscan will be published on Friday, August 9. Featuring short stories by myself, @atgonzalez, @amin, @NylaWoethief, and others! Pixel art on the cover by @dinchenix.

Pre-order your EPUB or paperback at https://nantucketlit.com/overscan

Something I should mention: I am not using Amazon to print these books. I am doing my own printing and binding (I'll have to give you a tour of my garage someday). #diy #nantucketlit #freeculture #physicalmedia #fediverse

I've overhauled the Apple II ebook for Overscan. I figured out how to insert DOS instructions into BASIC programs, so all the parts of the book can flow together seamlessly.

I will be discussing the making of this ebook at #init-hello on July 27 in Baltimore.

Is anyone interested in previewing the disk image? Email me at njb@nantucketebooks.com and I'll send it to you.

A few months ago I talked about a BIG THING I was writing.

Well, I finished a second draft, and it feels ready enough for people to read. It's called:

'Why Free-Culture: Art, Knowledge and Culture as Commons'.

It's the longest thing I have written and I am happy with it, but it is not the final version. Here's a link to read it:

https://codeberg.org/jectoons/Why-Free-Culture/src/branch/main/versions/english/WhyFreeCulturev0.5.pdf

There's also the .odt file in that repository, so do what you will with it! It is licensed CCBYSA 4.0. You can also see v0.1 in case you're curious about changes.

I would love any feedback anyone would care to give me, so please share far and wide. :)
Thanks for your time, and solidarity!

Reagle, J. (2013). “Free as in sexist?”: Free culture and the gender gap. First Monday, 18(1). Retrieved from http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4291/3381

Abstract: Despite the values of freedom and openness, the free culture movement’s gender balance is as skewed (or more so) as the computing culture from which it arose. Based on the collection and analysis of discourse on gender and sexism within this movement over a six year period I suggest three possible causes: (a) some geek identities can be narrow and unappealing, (b) open communities are especially susceptible to difficult people, and (c) the ideas of freedom and openness can be used to dismiss concerns and rationalize the gender gap as a matter of preference and choice.

Dans mon derniers billet au sujet de l'automatisation de la culture j'avais évoqué Moby qui déjà dix ans plus tôt se rebellait contre l'industrie de la musique en partageant gratuitement sa musique sur The Pirate Bay.

In an attempt to meet some new and interesting people (and to avoid any talk of The Deranged Oompa-Loompa in the Alabaster Castle) I have followed a few hashtags. Maybe y'all can help me refine them a little. Thes hashtags are: #hiking #emacs #creativecommons #ccmusic #woodworking #webdeveloper #freeculture
