Dave, Tell Us What Happened at UTC
Dave Fletcher reports that the Utah Technology Commission heard about open source and that Richard North presented his top ten list of technology issues in Utah, but Dave doesn't report what was said on either. Come on Dave! We don't want to wait a month for the minutes to be approved and published. Interestingly, North doesn't appear on the agenda, its just "Speaker to be announced," even though North is the guy who prepares the agenda.

Cory Doctorow on DRM
Cory Doctorow has posted a talk on DRM that he gave to Microsoft. Its very entertaining and well-crafted. He argues effectively:
- That DRM systems don't work
- That DRM systems are bad for society
- That DRM systems are bad for business
- That DRM systems are bad for artists
- That DRM is a bad business-move for MSFT
If you've ever read any of Cory's books you know that he can really entertain and this piece is no different.
