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 perfect laptop sleeve for your macbook air

The perfect laptop sleeve for your new macbook air. :)

Wonder Threads has come up with the Inter-Office laptop sleeve that looks a lot like the real thing, but is made of poly microfiber complete with red tabs and a neoprene lining.

Random election 2008 internet folk art

Just a random sampling of fun stuff I stumbled on while surfing the internets. Absolutely none of this is from any official campaign group. It's all pure fan art or folk based.

My personal favorite... must view large. It's made of thousands of DeviantArt user icons.

One of many variation on shepard fairey's posters.

Shepard fairey originals

Nice Parody

Just funny. :)
