thinglets: The Stolen Scream

A great example about why a Creative Commons approach to copyright is so functional and versatile with the web. In this 10 minute doc, you are introduced to the content creator of an archetypal set of photos that was repurposed all over the world.

A very tight example of the inevitability of mashups and the proper concern about control over intellectual property.

thinglets: Green Tunnel

2200 miles of the Appalachian Trail packed into five minutes. Very cool and somewhat relaxing. I'm not going to be hiking the Appalachian any time soon, but getting a glimpse gives me a new respect for the trails that exist even in our own backyards. The Bruce Trail in Ontario runs right through cities and one really has to know where they're going to not get sidetracked by a Starbucks.
