Just because a reproduction is by hand versus machine doesn't change the fact that it is a copy.

If I took his album "Kind of Bloop" and compressed it by 50%, could I start selling it as my own? Andy sez that is cool.

I don't see Andy's side at all.

The artwork is a copy, used for commercial purposes and without permission.

Copyright restricts copying. This isn't fair use. It isn't a parody or an even an homage – which can blur the line.

You worry about annoying your followers by talking about the wrong topic. Sounds like preaching to the choir.

Flip the coin.

You can be more interesting by providing information or point of view that isn't expected. Embrace your broadness and don't siphon yourself off into well defined silos.

Awesome, thanks for posting. I didn't know about this lib.

I've been working with Protovis for about 9 months now and it is a pleasure. It took a while to get my head around its data model, but once you do it is incredibly powerful. (IE is not an issue in my environments)

I switched to using Vundle this morning (before seeing the article). It is an excellent way to manage VIM plugins.
