RANDOM THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

The purpose of the IP industry is not creating IP products. The purpose of the industry is in creating systems, services and marketplaces that empower people to build intellectual product and enable conversations on that product. The outcome of these new services is the new product and it now belongs to the people. It's called culture.

The Somerville Gates - gates everywhere

Gates_024_small

A little light humor, my friend Devon just sent this to me. I can't decide wether I like the The Media Gates or The Feeding Gates the best. Then there's The Poopatorium Gates too.

"Often Hargo's 'The Somerville Gates' has been compared with Christo's 'The Gates', Central Park, New York City. These comparisons have been unfair; sometimes the media has exaggerated -- even lied -- about the similarities. Differences abound, and some of the most overlooked are listed below. "
