We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Aaron Swartz for the whole “creative commons” movement.

Earthships…. what’s not to like?
It’s about a year since I first heard the curious name: Earthship, and ever since I’ve continue to learn about, what is now known as Biotecture. Never was there a concept so mutually agreed upon to be a good idea, that as hard as anyone tried they couldn’t come up with reason to not like […]
