Cool T-shirts
I stumbled upon the threadless t-shirt site some days ago. Very interesting concept. Their business model seems to be letting the users do the design and filtering of suggestions while they just print the shirts and run the site. They pay back the designs gets picked in cash. The only problem with the shop seems to be that some (all?) of the really nice shirts are sold out 🙁

The Corporation
I saw the documentary The Corporation today. Extremely interesting movie. A very cool thing is that they created a divx version of the movie and is distributing it on bittorrent making it very easy to get. They then plead people to donate at the start of the movie. Interesting concept, I really hope it works for them. The movie touches a number of very interesting topics related to corporations, including governments, patents, science, marketing, environmentalism etc., besides explaining in a very clear way what corporations are.

Love Doctorow
I was watching Cory Doctorows speech on DRM at the Red Hat summit and I found this little quote really funny and insightful:
“DRM isn’t about stopping people from ripping stuff off. DRM is about taking those few honest people and screwing them out of every penny that you can”
