This is just a random post because I’m fairly bored and I’ve been doing a lot of browsing on the internet. One of the things that has been going on for a while that I really connect with is the Free Software/Open Source Software movement. I’ve been using Linux exclusively on my personal computer for about 7 or 8 years now. I used the Debian distribution for a long time, but now use Ubuntu, which I recommend to anyone interested in trying Linux on their personal computer. But there is a lot more that I connect with than just the computer side. Creative Commons comes to mind and the Free Culture movement in general as well. Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig is a voice I always respect and I have been reading his blog for a long time. Groups like the EFF and Public Knowledge also click with me. As do sites like Wikipedia. There are a couple of books that I hear are worth reading(but I haven’t yet), Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig and Freedom of Expression by Kembrew McLeod, both available online under Creative Commons licenses. The Cluetrain Manifesto also fits into this some, and is available online as well.
