This is a good read even if you don't care about Congress granting copyright extensions in perpetuity.http://www.legalaffairs.org/issues/March-April-2004/story_lessig_marapr04.html

It's a new location in town made up of several stores that sell different local, natural wares, with a couple places to sit and eat.  They also have a stage for concerts, shows, and a big TV.  Is this a new trend?http://www.milltownmarket.com/

I've been trying to accomplish this for months, maybe years, and I've finally done it!

Well, it's not complete, but I have created a CGI application that will dynamically create a thumbnail of a whole web page.  To better explain, if you typ in the URL to my program, and you give it the URL to some other site, it will create a gif image of that site to the size you specify.  Perhaps an example image is a better explanation (see right).

You simply set the url, width and height parameters, and off it goes.  Like this, for example:

http://www.asymptomatic.net/webthumb.exe?w=160&h=120&url=http://www.nytimes.com

That URL doesn't actually work because I'm still making changes to the code to get it perfect, and so I haven't put the application online, but on my desktop system it produces the gif image that appears with this article.

You may not recognize the significance of this feat, but I assure you, it's quite a good thing.
