Attempt no Landing There
This is something I'm leaving in 2009: the (very roughly) chronologically ordered contents of a bookmark folder I generously named "Research". Starting in February 2006 these links chart the rapid decline of so-called Intellectual Property from the meniscus of eccentric financial precedent to the depths of authoritarian insanity. You may also find a few bright moments of hope in there too, but these should be considered a statistical anomaly...
I'd actually typed a few hundred words of ranting here before deciding that, maybe, I should leave some of that behind too.
Instead, let's just hope the next ten years sees the tables turned.
Have a Happy New Year.
