Seattle-Based Rock Band Harvey Danger Release Album as Free Download via Bittorrent and Download

From Slashdot:

"Harvey Danger, a Seattle based rock band, has released their newest album Little by little for free mp3 download. They are doing this partially as an Internet publicity experiment, and partially as a stand against the Music Industry's attack on filesharing. From their website, 'In preparing to self-release our new album, we thought long and hard about how best to use the internet. Given our unusual history, and a long-held sense that the practice now being demonized by the music biz as "illegal" file sharing can be a friend to the independent musician, we have decided to embrace the indisputable fact of music in the 21st century, put our money where our mouth is, and make our record, Little By Little..., available for download via Bittorrent, and at our website. We're not streaming, or offering 30-second song samples, or annoying you with digital rights management software; we're putting up the whole record, for free, forever. Full stop. Please help yourself; if you like it, please share with friends.' I suggest you check it out."

I think this is the wave of the future for musicians - the ones worth listening to will gain recognition not for the big marketing budget behind them but for the quality of their music. Through the Free(dom) Software and Open Source movements, we are all learning new and open ways to make a living. Bravo Harvey Danger!

We Can Swim if We Want To

From an article I can across:

"The day before hurricane Rita hit Texas, last Friday, I saw on TV something that disturbed me... It was a fat Texas guy swimming in the waves off Galveston. He'd apparently decided the high surf was a good thing to jump into, so he went for a prehurricane swim. Two cops saw him, waded into the surf and arrested him. When I saw it the guy was standing there in orange trunks being astonished as the cops put handcuffs on him and hauled him away.

I thought: Oh no, this is isn't good. This is authority, not responsibility.

You'd have to be crazy, in my judgment, to decide you were going to go swim in the ocean as a hurricane comes. But in the America where I grew up, you were allowed to be crazy. You had the right...

Government has real duties in disaster. Maintaining the peace is a primary one. But if we demand that our government protect us from all the weather all the time, if we demand that it protect us from rain and hail, if we make government and politicians pay a terrible price for not getting us out of every flood zone and rescuing us from every wave, we're going to lose a lot more than we gain. If we give government all authority then we are giving them all power."

World's Largest Solar Array to Use Stirling Engine

This article talks about the plans for the world's largest solar energy array to use the Stirling Engine.

Plans involve a 20,000 dish array on 4,500 acres of land that would be capable of generating 500 megawatts of electricity.

This is more than all the current US solar energy projects combined.

Stuart Wilde Article on the 2005 London Bombings

I came across a new article on Stuart Wilde's website regarding the 2005 London bombings.

The article has some information about one of the CCTV images circulated by the Metropolitain Police. It seems that the image is questionable...
