You would not believe it, last year today I wrote the article: LinkedIn Certificate Expired. And today it happened again, this time it’s not in a weekend.
www.linkedin.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate expired on 06/07/2009 19:41.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)
Will they learn from this for next year?
Thanks to Ali for the heads up!

On the 30th of April, Queensday in the Netherlands, the Hare Krishna movement organized a meeting in the Amsterdam. I was given the book Chant and Be Happy: The Power of Mantra Meditation
to read by a friendly Hare Krishna who was walking by. (Although he could have been Maitreya.)
With interviews with John Lennon and George Harrison it is not just an interesting book, but also a book of historical interest.

I was just reading Warner Bros. and the Magic World of Harry Potter and saw that the last Harry Potter book will be in two parts. Obviously this being the last story they need to stretch it out as much as possible.
- Spring 2010: The theme park attraction, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, will open at Universal Orlando Resort, Orlando, Fla.
- Holiday 2010: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, based on the final novel, is scheduled for theatrical release.
- Summer 2011: The final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, will be released.
UPDATE: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is being released on the 15th of July.

Wikipedia allows non-free images to be used under the terms of fair-use. In the case of the photograph below I can use it as I am discussing the photograph and not the contents, in other words used in a transformative nature.

Source: Iran Times
IANAL and TINLA but this post, and the wikipedia entry Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the 1979 Hostage Crisis, are examples of fair-use. Although if this photo was included in an article about the Iran hostage crisis this would not be an instance of fair-use.
So could I freely include a photograph just by discussing the photograph?

I read a book to my god daughter. We practised doing handstands, made pictures on the pavement with chalk, and played with a ball.
