"Culture in Decline" homepage - the creator Peter Joseph, surrounded by all the most iconic images of our visual culture. All the images are so painfully familiar, so ingrained in our western minds, yet so upsetting and maddening. We close our eyes and cover our ears while our culture is declining because we don't want to know the truth. Instead of helping the ones in need, we lose ourselves in consumption (iPhones, Nike shoes, hamburgers, cars, bars, beauty salons, you name it!). It's time to wake up. Actually, the time to wake up is way past due: we're already late, and the damage is done. It's time for a serious damage control.

U.S. Copyright Office is an office of public record for copyright registration and deposit of copyright material. We're not the only ones with a lot of questions about copyright I guess!

A list of cool applications that you can get for free which might be helpful for a final remix project.

A new generation of programmers "would rather work with open systems and tools than closed and proprietary approaches, which are seen as more limiting." While the closed and proprietary systems mean big bucks, the open source means big change.
