An archive of the crowdsourcing effort to record Lawrence Lessig's book, Free Culture. Nice demonstration of the process and the success of open content. This post was the inspiration for the creation of Librivox.org (see http://librivox.org/about)

Content vs. Transactional APIs. As a non-programmer, I've come to learn just how critical it is to understand how APIs articulate services and people across the web. This article explains levels of API openness (perhaps a metaphor for non-commercial entities)
