Why being open makes me happy.

Sometimes I think people get caught up in the hows and whys of what they do in their normal life. Well in my life, I get to work with open source a lot. Honestly, I'm not devoted on a personal level to open source. I think that's okay, because I spend my energy pushing open source as a job. And I believe in it, without a doubt. The fact that I don't use it for *everything* is a personal decision. 

Everyone has things that they're passionate about. For me, it's open content and I don't care how you get that content out - I just think it's important that its out there. That's a mission of mine. So, whenever I get a chance to tell a story about content being open and people doing open things with that content and knowledge, it makes me the happiest person alive.

Last year I went to the Open Video Conference in New York. I met Bre Pettis there. This is a video of him and I think the ideals he outlines here are possibly the most important thing in the world.

IIRC, I helped shoot this interview. And I definitely did the editing. This is what gets me excited and this is what I get paid to do. When the two meet, there's nothing better.

This is what happens.

I sometimes have weird finger problems. I can't explain it but it's crazy and bothers me a little. I remember it first happening when I woke up biting my finger one night. Ever since then, this happens from time to time. You gotta look closely, but I get a weird dent in my finger just as if I had bitten it.

Who cares, I laughed.

Someone brought the crazy...

Not really sure how I ended up on this site. I think it got linked via those new images that came out of the twin towers. These images, just released by the Police. Anyway, I just read the craziest thing in the history of ever:

 

"actually… boring iconic history – but the censorship indeed denied aspects of the tragedy.

question one:
which is more heroic – to be under the rubble or above it?

(why the censorship?)

Robert downy jr rings the bell at wall street. Welcome back Iron Man… Hooray for the survivors and their barbarism.

question two:
is survivalism barbarism? – if so – why do we still crave such excesses? baby need a new pair of shoes?

faster pussycat. kill kill.

my best friends are cavemen – all buying their privacy to fight off the alienation. but there is no hypocrisy there – correct?

quasimodo rings the bells and carries the emotional luggage so we each have the luxury to comment on the flavor and not the hunger.

tasteless? yes.

fashion is an edible.

….but agreed – it’s all lip gloss and greed – to the families. fork it all.

alas – matthew sheppard never wanted to grow up to be a t-shirt either.

The travel guides apologize for interrupting your Disneyland moment with black jewelry. Buy some more retreat – then advance it.

Faces of Death – is the aphrodisiac. The only thing admirable is that the pigs can pay their weigh.

Otherwise – totally unsexy.

Oh well. Stop learning – keep moving – take a breath and celebrate. Freddie Kruger helps your kids have sex at the drive-in, and Janet Leigh was a thief, until she met Tony.

It’s all a stage – we’re growing through.

Try to smile if they give you a tip, and keep the seed from rocks.

Jump for joy."

 

What in the world was that about?
