danielle martin — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 04:18:23 +0000

Here's some more info from Reebee Garofalo - one of our speakers at last week's Pre-service Orientation. Reebee's from the UMass Boston, College of Public and Community Service, Community Media & Technology Program and his presentation focused on copyright issues for new media and technology fields.

The powerpoint (attached) is based off a longer presentation he gave at Alliance for Community Media Conference last summer called "Copyright: It's Still About The Content, Stupid" (http://acmboston.org/node/340).

hey. was wondering if that powerpoint presentation on copyright issues we heard about this past week at umass was going up on this site anywhere.

Recoil magazine

While at the PSO I wore a black t-shrit that said Recoil on it. Recoil is the name of a local free magazine printed on newsprint. On the front is a magazine devoted to local events and advertising, articles about and interviews of bands (local or those coming to town) and reviews of CD's local and national. On the back is a satire magazine of fake and funny news articles a la "The Onion".

I was wearing this shirt when we took the big group photo. That photo that greats us when we all when we click on"vista blogs". The word Recoil has been removed from my shirt. I'm guessing someone thought that it was a possible copyright issue or something. But I hardly think a local Grand Rapids magazine will be suing AmeriCorp for use of the logo.

Bizaar.

In the words of Sam the Eagle, "You are all weirdos."

Peace,
