The FSF (join!) sent me a copy of Lawrence Lessig’s latest book Free Culture. Cool. I had begun reading the book in PDF format while I was serving Jury Duty (flip the Powerbook sideways and go into full screen w/ Preview.app and you have a decent ebook), but never got around to finishing it. I just finished Imperial Hubris, so I will definitely be throwing it on the queue.

Stewart on O’Reilly the other week – here’s the clip

Mama mia that’s a lot a’ CODECs

• The Firmware Page Portal – Region free firmware for a *lot* of drives
• cdfreaks NEC forum – useful if you have a ND-3500A (compare to SD-R5372)

Unleashed Trailer – an english-language Jet Li movie that won’t suck?

• OpenWRT: Storing firewall rules – some interesting discussion on remote loading of rules
• WRT54G – SNMP – more on mapping and graphing data
• OpenWRT: Apps for monitoring traffic? – netsnmp package
• rrdtool tidbits – rrd scripts
• Network Traffic Monitoring with RRDTool – good RRDTool tutorial
• New OpenWRT statistics package
• OpenWRT: Instructions for building on OS X – rather involved. I’ve switched from running ewrt to OpenWRT for more flexibility
• Paul’s Boutique Samples and References List – a large, collaborative effort
• Jose Luis Visual Journal – nice photoblog
• If America were Iraq, What would it be Like? – by the numbers. via rc3

Wow, Aaron’s blogging about his Stanford experience. It wasn’t so long ago that he was a 13yo boy genius, contributing to RFCs, and now he’s off to college already. In light of the closing of “I Found Some of Your Life,” this shall have to be my daily source of vicarious thrills.

Goatse Rescue Floppy – no matter how you slice it, it’s just plain wrong.

Ahh, looks like our public government is preemptively collecting True Names.
