[Video] Clay Shirky on SOPA/PIPA

Andrea Zak — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:49:09 +0000

A great TED Talk by Clay Shirky on the controversial SOPA/PIPA legislation popped up on the intertubes today. He outlines how people interact with and share media and how the legislation that will be up for a vote soon could turn all consumers into assumed copyright violators and thieves. Very interesting watch.

FREE museum admission nationwide first weekend of each month in 2009

Museum field trips are one of the best ways to spend an afternoon. I especially look forward to Impressionist exhibits since that’s my favorite era of art, though perhaps a bit cliche.

Bank of America is sponsoring free museum entry on the first weekend of every month this year. Flash your BoA debit card at more than 70 locations to enjoy the current exhibits and current collections free. The list of museums offering this deal is here.

The art lover in me is thrilled that I can enjoy LACMA for free, but the tax payer in me asks, is this really a necessary incentive given they scooped up bailout money?
