Whither Fair Use?
Maybe I should ask myself for permission to post this, too?
For those of you who don't care about piddly little things like "fair use" and "article lists," I present this offering—The classic Atari game "Pole Position," played with humans. It will hopefully keep you entertained until this blog is able to get back on track with current events:
(With thanks to my buddy Ian for the excellent inspiration.)
Ye Classic Article List
Oh, you're still interested? That's great! I'll be updating this as I find stuff, so please bear with me. These will hopefully end up being in reverse-chronological order, but we'll see how well that works out as we go.
Oh yeah, and I apologize in advance for the poor quality of my early articles. Profusely! It's as painful for me to read as I'm sure it is for you.

Interestingly enough, be sure to take note of where my image sources are on these last two. The "mysterious" (at the time) disappearance of the AP images from Yahoo is the snowflake that led to this past weekend's little avalanche. Yet notice how the hotlinked AFP photos are still alive? (I'll be removing those hotlinks and swapping the pictures out with thumbnails once enough of you have seen it to validate my point, of course..)
#7: Laying it on thick
#6: Compare and Contrast time!
Editorial note: I'm only indexing articles here that contain photos. There's plenty of material between these articles that's "original content," of which there's no "fair use" issue.
(As I go, I'll be identifying articles that are "beyond" the reasonable limits of "fair use," and will be correcting them accordingly.)
