Rip: A Remix Manifesto
I Just watched the movie Rip: A Remix Manifesto which brilliantly shows the beauty and threats of remixing in the digital age. Free up some time for this if you haven’t watched it already.
Friends rockin’: Wish I was boarding too.
Always posting nice pics and videos, Piers hits us now with some nice on board snowboard footage. Always worth checking, his Derestrited blog is refreshing to the eyes. Until the next Ice age hits in, we can only be Jealous down here in Rio.

DIYLILCNC
Meet DIYLILCNC, an opensource CNC milling machine project set to teach anyone to build there own milling tool. The initiative came from 2 chicago-based artists and educators of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Thanks to them, today with around 700 dollars and some time invested putting the parts together, anyone can have their own CNC milling machine at home.
While Computer Numerical Controlled machines are nothing new, the availability of open-source building plans is a reflection of the democratization of innovation we have been seeing in the last years.
Principles of Participation for Open Information Communities
How open source software comes about is still a myth for lots of people. The notion that a group of people with no monetary reward can get together and create something as complex as an operational system like Linux challenges all our previous notions of the market laws of production. In this video presentation, Karl Fogel, open source developer and writer of the book Producing Open Source Software, guides us through the key principles of open source communities.
Spreading the Knowledge to Open Up
Great presentation on open innovation by Brazilian entrepreneurs Gian Carlo Martinelli, Bruno Rondani and Rene Fernandes. Some Portuguese required. Even though presented in 2008, it is still very valid.
