For the 150th episode of the fantastic Boing Boing tv , Xeni et al. have digi-traveled to Japan, visiting CC CEO Joi Ito to learn how to hunt for and prepare bamboo shoots.

You can read about how the whole project came to fruition on Joi’s blog , including a pretty amusing anecdote about finding CC-licensed music (I, for one, think Cornelius would make wonderful musical accompaniment to bamboo hunting).

On Sunday, I let our chickens out of their coop to run around freely for the first time. I was surprised by how quickly they took to it. They started scratching around in the grass and dirt, grazing on different tree and bush leaves, weeds, blossoms, and blades of grass. They stretched out in the sun, and gave themselves dust baths. How amazing that this behavior was encoded in them from the time they were single-celled eggs a couple of months ago. How do they know which things are good to eat? ... more
Curt Smith , best known for his work as one of the two lead vocalists in English pop band Tears for Fears , released his new album, Halfway, Pleased , this past Tuesday ( digitally and otherwise). Comprised of 15 hauntingly beautiful tracks (read a nice review here ), Smith has chosen to release the entire album under a CC BY-NC-SA license , allowing people to freely redistribute, reuse, and rework the songs legally.
