A few things to park here 'til I get time to write some more about them:
* I went to the re:mix culture symposium at the university of sussex last friday. It was very interesting. One of the interesting people was Tom Chance who's already written it up here. I came away quite sceptical about the Creative Commons and hopefully will get some chance to write about that soon.
* My friend Polly (artist, writer, political, cool) has a new blog.
* Fanfunded.tv is an idea I want to write about. You want to see a new series of Blake's 7 commisionned, or a new Lynn Ramsey film. Instead of waiting for someone to commission it you go to fanfunded.tv and buy the DVD in advance (or perhaps just an option to buy). Your money goes into escrow and earns interest. If enough is raised to greenlight the project, you get a share in the production and the DVD when finished. If not, after a certain time you get your money back plus the interest.
* I'd like to set up a wiki with a time-logger to get people to contribute to business plans.
