The Village Voice
has posted an impressive photo gallery of today’s disaster at the World Trade Center.
Just notes
:
- Some readers will know that my brother works downtown in Manhattan near the World Trade Center. I’ve heard from him, he’s OK. My sister-in-law is a flight attendant, and she’s OK too.
- CNN.com has put up an extremely simple site, presumably to host a higher load of traffic. The CBC has done the same.
- I’ve been getting my best breaking news from the virtual community at Cafe Utne. Lots of first hand accounts, and luckily just about everyone I know from the Cafe is OK. Haven’t heard from everyone yet.
- MetaFilter has also been a good source of info.
- Canadians with friends or family in New York can call 800-387-3124 for information.

“If this would go forward, it would be a huge gift for the fair-use community. It would be right up there with Sklyarov,” says Jaszi, talking about the outcry the DMCA prosecution of Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov has caused. “It would be an amazing mobilizing tool.”
Reading between the lines
, it seems that someone slagged Meg Hourihan about her totally reasonable entry the other day. It boggles the mind. The “contentious” entry was nothing but a nicely-worded observation by someone who has more perspective about this stuff than most. She was nice enough to grant that she was “sorry for the confusion.” Uh, that was gracious as hell, but if anyone was confused, they were looking for it.
