    Welcome to Julie Shen dotcom

    If you haven't already watched his inspiring last lecture, what are you waiting for?

    On My Reading List (7/22/2008)

    A comic book on copyright and fair use! Nifty!

    This brings back memories of my childhood in Taiwan, hanging out at my friend's house and reading comic books about inertia, oxygen exchange, the digestive system, etc. Learning can be fun!

    Google and Yahoo to index Flash content (7/12/2008)

    U.S. copyright records available from Google (7/01/2008)

    Google has collated data from the U.S. Copyright Office and Carnegie Mellon to create a file that contains copyright renewals filed between 1923-1963. Use it to find out whether a book published during that time is still under copyright or if it is now freely usable. (Via The Googlization of Everything.)
