The Internet Is in a Swivet Today
I try to stay current on which way the digital wind is blowing, but the reality is that I'm usually the one who can be heard to say, "A rabbit! With a pancake on his head!" about five years after everyone else.
But today I followed two eruptions in delightful real time.
First is Nerdy Apple Bottom's awesome, in-your-face defense of her cutie pie son.
To all the Boy Daphnes out there: C'mon over to my house! Bring your cool moms!
The second was that a writer had some of her content lifted directly into Cooks Source magazine. The fact that it its a print enterprise is a little surprising. I think more lifting happens directly onto the web. But what was even more surprising was the editor's response, when contacted.
Holy polished pitchforks, did the internet respond. I actually work for one of the companies that seems to have also been copied. Normally I'd get all cc-ish to our legal team but I think if Neil Gaiman is on it then I probably don't need to be.
