POPSDon't Write Like An Idiot This is a reclip of an older clip that Invictus made. His original exceeded the current clip limit so I couldn't revive it. Refresher everyone.

POPSSteal my content, please!
I completely agree with Scoble on this one, although I can understand why people who make their living directly from their creations have a hard time letting go of the fear of giving away at least some of the rights to their content. Cory Doctorow began releasing all of his literary work under creative commons licenses years ago, allowing people to freely download and distribute his work under some light provisos. I downloaded and read "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" on my palm pilot, freely and legally, and was hooked. Because of that, I've read a huge amount of his writing, become a mammoth fan, and will likely purchase every book he publishes. I've also published everything I've written, shot, and produced under a similar license. While that certainly hasn't brought me traditional commercial success, it has definitely accelerated serendipity countless times for me, and if you trace out the effects of those 'lucky' events, it's helped shape both my career and life.

POPSGeek vs. Nerd vs. Dork I don't know if I agree with everything in here, but the list is pretty spot on for the most part... I definitely define myself as a geek, and match up pretty well with that here :)

POPSMicrosoft goes for the open source jugular Microsoft was starting to look like they'd changed their ways, like they were going to compete on the merits of their software, not on the premise of litigating everyone else out of business. The large majority of these patents have prior art and never should have been granted, others are common sense. This is a very offensive move from MS against a HUGE community of open source users, including you. Check out William Hurley's article about what the world would be like without open source software if you don't believe me. MS is grasping at straws here, and It's certainly not going to win them any PR.

POPSHow to Run a Meeting Like Google I've so-far been spared the pain of excessive meetings in my work experience, but I've certainly sat through quite a few where the organizer didn't respect the attendee's time. These sound like great guidelines. Visit the page for the full low-down.

POPST-shirt: Hey Hank... Where's my bailout? A friend of mine just put this one up on his site - definitely fits the mood for the moment. If all these banks get to back the money truck up to the treasury, why not everyone. It's going to be an interesting week.

POPSMedieval Tech Support Wow - I'm usually not that jaded about tech support (I loved that job when I did it) but this is really true and really funny!
