Neat article

Fascinating collection of articles chronicling the history of the modern gay movement, year by year starting with Stonewall. Thanks to amybang for the link, which I am posting in part so I don't forget to go back and finish reading it when I have more time.

Print on demand taken to the next level

T sent me a link to the Espresso Book Machine, a vending machine at the New York Public Library that will print and bind, for free, a book. Not just any book, of course -- for now it's limited to titles that are in the public domain or held by the Open Content Alliance. But still, we're talking hundreds of thousands of books.

I... am not sure how I feel about this.
