My cable tv went out. The box is trying to reboot, but it's been doing that for 30 minutes. Cable internet is fine though, so that's sort of weird. I guess it saves me from having to figure out which is the least bad cable network to watch the results on.

"This is about building a parallel to Creative Commons in Congress," Lessig explains, referencing the popular legal license he created to help authors and artists make their work available for free distribution and modification. Just as creators under a Creative Commons license cede some control over their works in order to promote a robust open-source culture, Lessig's political vision entails "people in power, legislators, voluntarily waiving that power in order to build a better system."
