		<title>A better DateTime widget for Django</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m convinced that every Django developer has struggled with how to present DateTime fields to users.  We all know and love the widgets used in the Django admin, and emboldened by the Django developers,1 every new developer tries to just use those.  But each one discovers quickly that it&#8217;s not that simple &#8212; you have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clickwrap for Django and best practices for Terms of Service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I wrote a simple Django application for managing clickwrap legal agreements. I&#8217;m developing the artists&#8217; submission system for the Conflux Festival&#8217;s new site (which is not yet live), and we require artists to agree to an Artist Agreement before submitting entries for the festival.  Since this sort of process is relatively simple [...]]]></description>

		<title>FLOSS Dispenser: a free market for Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on developing a free software application market for Android.1 The obvious place to start was the SlideME Community Edition code, which as far as I know is the only existing free software project that does even part of the job.  Unfortunately, SlideME&#8217;s Community Edition was abandoned due to &#8220;lack of community [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goolog: everything you do is right here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Managing your life online isn&#8217;t easy.  You use email, IM, and other social tools.  You create, manage, and share documents.  You search for things you&#8217;re interested in and research things you&#8217;re working on.  You track your finances to the penny and buy everything you need.  You store your private medical records and access information about [...]]]></description>

		<title>ABA Journal joins National Review in Asianizing Sotomayor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is it about a Latina Supreme Court justice that just screams &#8220;Asian&#8221; to journalists?  Whatever it is, the ABA Journal places itself in the dubious company of the National Review this month by highlighting Sonia Sotomayor&#8217;s ineffable Eastern-ness:







This Month&#8217;s ABA Journal
The controversial National Review cover



The National Review, by Asian-ing up Sotomayor&#8217;s physical appearance, obviously [...]]]></description>

		<title>White House still confused about Flickr photo licensing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the White House first began posting photographs taken by its official photographer on Flickr, it caused a minor kerfuffle about licensing: the photos were posted under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license, even though works of the U.S. government are in the public domain.  It turned out that the White House chose CC-BY because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Matt Asay is wrong about rights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matt Asay does not believe in a fundamental right to Internet access. His most recent barely considered core dump of generalities begins with this bit of popular conservo-libertarian retcon: &#8220;While the framers of the U.S. Constitution talked about the rights of assembly, speech, and religion, our modern world has crowned new rights.&#8221;  He goes on [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Corrupt Landlord, or A Helpless Empowered Tenant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last September, I found a great apartment, via Craigslist, at 350 Lincoln Place in Prospect Heights &#8212; it had unheard-of-in-NYC amenities like a dishwasher &#38; central air, a roommate I liked and had things in common with, and a rent I could afford.  Unfortunately, when we met with the super (Bajram Lukovic, aka &#8220;Baki&#8221;) so [...]]]></description>

		<title>The irony of Conservatives for Patients&#8217; Rights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was on the treadmill when this segment on CNN about conservatives&#8217; opposition to Obama&#8217;s health care policies made me wheeze uncomfortably with laughter.  A swiftboat organization called Conservatives for Patients&#8217; Rights&#8211;led by disgraced, corrupt healthcare CEO Richard Scott&#8211;has paid $20 million for a piece of the media spotlight on the issue.  The campaign demonstrates [...]]]></description>

		<title>New IdentiFox that plays nice with TwitterFox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IdentiFox is a Firefox addon to get Identi.ca updates.  It&#8217;s based on TwitterFox, and up till now you couldn&#8217;t use the two together, because they still shared certain unique identifiers in their code.  I spent some time reworking IdentiFox to solve this problem and generally clean up the Twitter references in the code. I created [...]]]></description>
