Thread on Net Neutrality from Cory Doctorow. The internet was built with public money. It should be treated as a public utility. Instead greedy telcos like Comcast give us crappy service, fail to maintain the net, and demand more money for profit.

"Cousins" a work in progress

Original and Artwork

This is a photo of a work in progress, a painting my talented sister Liana Russwurm made of the cousins when she was studying at OCA.  My stepmom bought it to ensure it stayed in the family.  After my Dad died, the executors claimed the painting wasn’t there.  My parents would never have gotten rid of it.  And I really want it back. It hurts my heart to think it’s gone forever.

If you ever see it anywhere, can you please let me know?
