Book Meme

Random

“Remix is an essential act of RW creativity“. – Remix: Making Art And Commerce Thrive In The Hybrid Economy, Lawrence Lessig.

From Ben, the latest meme:

  • Grab the nearest book.
  • Open it to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  • Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

In the interests of meme-ability, I would like to ask the following to do this:

  • Matt Zimmerman
  • Michael Meeks
  • Miguel de Icaza
  • Lawrence Lessig
  • Daviey Walker

    “In the past, Microsoft has underestimated the need for such mixing, failing to anticipate, for example, the pressing need that many developers would have for calling a real-mode code from their protected-code.” (Undocumented Windows, A. Schulman, D. Maxley, M. Pietrek 1992)

    Why did there have to be a cookbook sitting next to me?
