Tomato up?
Tomato up?
02/10/2004 02:47 AMWhile this recipe does not share anything in common with my Red Sox Cowboy Up Cookies, and I haven't heard anyone
telling the Patriots to "Tomato Up!", nonetheless I have crafted a
special tart in honor of my favorite football team: tarte Tatin
aux tomates. (And also to bring the a Super Bowl party.) I can't
take all the credit for it, since it was in large part inspired by a
recipe I found for Caramelized Tomato Tarts in a great new cookbook
(more about that soon).
But I love making tarte Tatin, a kind of French
upside-down apple pie with yummy caramel flavor. I combined what I saw
for the tomato tarts with my Tatin recipe, and voila! Tomato
tarte Tatin! It's baking now, so I've no idea yet if it's any good. If
it turns out OK, I'll post the recipe here.
Until then, Tomato Up you Patriots fans! Or, as my father so
eloquently signed off in an email to me earlier this week, "Go Pats
scratch out the Cats!"

The Amish Paste, Orange Banana and Glacier tomatoes look pretty
healthy
(perhaps a bit too tall). The Brandywine are still very short; I
received these from a friend, and I suspect they're a long-season
tomato. I'll need to transplant the tomatoes into the garden
sometime
in the next few days.
Tomato Advice
Tomato Advice
03/13/2003 10:16 AMI spoke to my mother about growing tomatoes last night. Her advice:
Purchase the yummy-looking varieties, but also some early ones.
The
growing season in Maine is all too short, and a September frost
can
kill the late-bearing varieties. If this happens, you need to
pick all
the green tomatoes and take them inside, where they'll turn
red--but
never properly ripen. So if you want to be guaranteed that ripe
tomato
taste, you should plant at least one variety which ripens early.

Don't talk to strangers, remember what
happened to Sarah Cherry....

On July 6th, 1988 Dennis Dechaine of Bowdinham, Maine came home
from work (transporting frozen chickens from a slaughterhouse) and
planned to work on constructing a greenhouse. However, that project
hit a glitch and sometime that afternoon he decided instead to take
some amphetamines and go exploring in the woods near his home. When
he emerged from the woods, lost and looking for his truck, about 8:30
pm that night he was questioned by the police who were looking for a
missing 12 year old girl named Sarah Cherry. Two days later, Sarah's
body was found and Dennis Dechainewas charged with the girl's murder.
He was convicted in March of 1989 to life in prison without parole and
an entire generation of Maine girls were told to 'remember Sarah
Cherry' as a caution to not talk to strangers.
The question before
us now, is, of course,
did
he do it?

Challenge to Stowe
02/05/2005 09:12 PM
Stowe Boyd and I are going
to do some debate somewhere - hopefully using Marc Eisenstadt's FlashMeeting technology.
BTW as a quick aside - I just found out that
Macromedia charges $7,000 for 2,500 simultaneous users of FlashCom -
the server technology behind FlashMeeting. If any coolio
open source gal or guy is listening - I'd DIE to get an open source
version of FlashCom. I promise i'll hussle the hell out of it - for
you.
Anyway - back to Stowe.
Stowe seems to grok the absurdness of
talking about talking - but what will he say when our Marqui program
starts conversations and memes around actual subjects like "How
Marqui saved me money" or "a Marqui a day - keeps my IT dept.
at bay".
I can't wait to debate Stowe. I'm gonna pull out all my techniques
at public performance, diaphragm support and snide combacks. All the
techniques John Kerry had none of. Ask somebody about the debate Dave
Winer and I did at a Stewart Alsop Agenda conference back in 1988.
:-)
One thing Stowe is right about - I was
iritated with Marqui. And they didn't fire me!
And Stowe is all wigged out that
Marqui would want to sponsor our debate. DUDE - haven't you
gotten the point yet?
ARE YOU SPELLING MARQUI's name right?
Good - then case solved.

04/07/2005 02:40 PMon the challenge of moral rights
on the challenge of moral rights
03/14/2005 05:51 PMBill Thompson calls himself a
critical friend of
Creative Commons, which in my
world, is the only kind of friend one wants. But I can't escape
thinking we're having an
argument when there's nothing to argue about (again,
a common feature of the very best of friends).
Bill believes in moral rights. He thinks Creative Commons doesn't. Or
more precisely, he thinks Creative Commons the collective, or me the
individual, doesn't "care" or "understand" moral rights. Instead, he
thinks we think copyright "is simply an economic matter." That is "US
hegemony," Bill insists (please put that word on the list of
eliminated words when the revolution comes), which neither he, nor
anyone, should "accept."
As someone who has been strongly criticized for strongly criticizing
the US (even on foreign soil no less!) I'm all for eliminating US
"hegemony." But there's just a simple misunderstanding here that we
(CC) needs to do a better job addressing.
Creative Commons offers free copyright licenses to artists and
creators. The purpose of the license is to enable the artist or
creator to mark his or her copyrighted work with the freedom he or she
intends the work to carry. Those "freedoms" are the exclusive rights
that copyright grants the copyright holder
which the law permits
the copyright holder to waive. The design of the system is to be
automatic. No contract, or meeting of the minds, is intended. It is
simply a license that says "if you use my copyrighted work in ways
that would otherwise infringe my exclusive rights, I won't sue you if
you have abided by this license." (The law makes everything ugly, but
anyway, that's what it does.)
Moral rights -- which are not "European" but in fact common to the
US/UK tradition and the European tradition (in our tradition, they are
called "author's rights," and the great text on this is Lyman Ray
Patterson's
Copyright in Historical Perspective) -- don't
admit of such easy manipulation. In many jurisdictions that protect
moral rights, you can't just automatically give away the moral right,
without knowing something about how, or in what context, the work is
to be used. For those jurisdictions then, a Creative Commons-like
mechanism just wouldn't work. Such a mechanism couldn't succeed, in
other words, in effecting an agreement about such moral rights.
Creative Commons is a hammer. This is glass blowing.
So our response to these jurisdictions is simple: we don't purport to
affect the moral rights at all. They are left as they would be,
because our tool can't effectively do anything about them. Thus, it is
not because we don't "understand" moral rights that we don't do
anything about them. It is instead because we precisely understand
that our tool, given the law, can't do anything about them.
Thus, to say that we think there's only one tool in the area of
copyright and moral rights is, I think, to have it backwards. Those
who would criticize Creative Commons for not "solving" the "moral
rights problem" are the ones who think there is only one tool. We're
the first to admit that we have a hammer, and you need a glass blower,
so please don't consider our tool to be the tool you need if
negotiating, or respecting, or understanding, moral rights is your
objective.
Now this isn't the case in every jurisdiction that protects moral
rights. The contours of the law are different in different countries.
Thus in some countries, we have been able to craft the license to give
the author the power to grant both copyrights and moral rights. But in
strong moral rights jurisdictions, that simple is not possible using
the device we have crafted.
So again, I don't see how this is us "dismissing" moral rights. (Does
aspirin dismiss cancer just because it can't cure it?) And I don't see
how narrowing our focus means we don't "care" about moral rights, if
indeed you believe that a tool such as ours can't, in some
jurisdictions at least, do anything about moral rights.
And finally, I don't see where I've ever said anything against moral
rights. No doubt, they restrict the freedom of authors -- at least
those authors who would like a simple way to alienate the rights. So
too does the ban on slavery restrict the freedom of workers -- but you
wouldn't think I support slavery just because I remark this obvious
fact, would you? Indeed, in many contexts where I've been asked, I've
said that the moral rights tradition has actually proven to be an
important check on the power of publishers -- something we've
forgotten in our own tradition. But none of that is to criticize, or
to advise that countries change their law.
So yes, Creative Commons will not, at least in some jurisdictions,
deal with moral rights. Nor will it cure cancer or end poverty. But if
it is unclear to anyone, let's be clear about it: We don't therefore
not "care" about cancer or poverty. We don't therefore "dismiss" those
problems. We just understand -- as everyone should -- that the tools
we're spreading can only do so much.
Finally, about Bill's claim that I think that copyright, as distinct
from moral rights, "is simply an economic matter." I'm sure Bill got
this from one of our conversations. He's a careful journalist (unlike
the journalists he associates with). But I must not have made my point
clearly, because the sense in which he offers the statement is
different from what I mean. I do believe that "copyright" is "simply
an economic matter" -- meaning that the rights originally protected by
copyright were protected for economic reasons. That again does not
deny that there are other rights -- read Patterson to see the rich set
of "author rights" that existed at the time of our Founding. I
wouldn't say that were simply "an economic matter."
But I do believe that copyright was about economics. And I continue to
believe copyright is important, primarily for economic reasons. But
that again is precisely why we wanted to create a simpler copyright,
for the many many creators who either are not creating for economic
ends, or who believe that control over their creativity is not a
necessary means to their economic success.
Free law is the tool we created. A tool to enable people to achieve
something at the legal layer, just as iChat enables people to achieve
something at the application layer. But as iChat isn't for everyone,
or at least, for everyone for any end, neither is CC. I would not
advise Britney to put her music under a CC license. I would advise
Gilberto Gil to. Tell me what you're trying to do, and I'll tell you
whether we've got a tool for you. (That's of course, rhetorical.
Please don't tell me. There are briefs, and filings, and classes, and
family that demand the time that answering questions would take.)
