Public Domain Flowchart
For all the grumpies out there who claim it’s difficult to determine if a work is in the public domain or not, here’s a handy flowchart that makes it nice and simple: click me.
I don’t know what everyone’s complaining about…
Wikipedia Entry
Dude. I am in the Wikipedia. This is big. And apparently I am “the son of the thunder and the wide-open plain.” Not to mention my command performance for Michael I of Romania (this is not far off, in college I roomed with a Romanian prince – not Michael I you understand, a different one). I like very much where this is going.
On another note entirely, allow me to address a question that some of you have asked. In the song “That Spells DNA” I mention some base pair strings that indicate certain conditions like cancer and nut allergies. These are made up. I’m pretty sure that actual important strings of DNA would be too long to put into a song and still have a song that someone might want to listen to. I’m just saying, don’t go buying medicine just because Coulton says you have a disease.
Some Press And Stuff
If you’d like to hear me blathering about what it was like writing these PopSci songs, you should listen to the August 19th episode of the Evil Genius Chronicles podcast. Dave Slusher and I talked via Skype and let me tell you, that fellow is SMOOV. He’s got mad interviewing skills yo. Plus as a special bonus he plays the live version of “Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance.” Thanks Dave!
Also, there was a little blurb about me in this Sunday’s Boston Globe – Joshua Glenn’s column “The Examined Life.” I warn you that you will have to register your email to read it.
Now nothing can stop me…
