creative commons one year anniversary

File under: Parties

Last night Mie and I went to the Creative Commons One Year Anniversary celebration down at 111 Minna. It was a well organized fete full of the passionate and intellectual "Cult of Lessig" types that one usually finds at CC parties (and the catering was top notch!). Unfortunately, we were both completely drained of mental and physical energy from Saturday night's bacchinalian Santarchy festivities, so we didn't stay for long as were were unable to hold up our end of an intelligent conversation. I think I'll quit drinking alcohol for awhile.

In a brief doomed attempt at one such conversation, Justin introduced us to his illustrated mobile poetry that he's been creating on his Treo 600. Which apparently he hasn't released under a CC license, hmm.

It was a good night for Creative Commons though; lots of positive things happening. You can get a good summary by watching the latest flash animation (warning: 7MB download).
