2008-03-20 MaerzMusik 2008 is over, and it has been a very good and inspiring time.

2008-02-20 I'm re-reading the book Steal this e-book! by Danny O Snow. It just came to my mind that I read this about four years ago, and I realised that it is still around. I invite you to also read this book, you can download it either from my site (pdf) or get it from lulu.com as a pdf or a print on demand paperback.

Some quotes from the original site U-Publish.com about the book:

Steal this e-Book! is an irreverent collection of articles and letters about electronic publishing and electronic rights that you are invited steal... legally!
[...]

The book, first released in 2002, traced the evolution of e-Books in "ancient times" (1999 to 2002) as reported by Danny O. Snow in print and online publications such as BookTech Magazine, eBookWeb, Internet Publishing Magazine, and others.
[...]

Now a little slice of history, rather than the current "State of the Art" in the fast-moving world of electronic publishing, Steal the e-Book! is an interesting little footnote in the history of the "printed" word.

As I'm sure you're all aware, we are quite busy getting ready for the release of Max 5, which we expect to release around the end of March.

In the academic realm, Max/MSP will no longer be sold without Jitter. Instead, we will be offering Max/MSP/Jitter bundles at a reduced price. Schools, teachers, and students upgrading a copy of Max/MSP will get Jitter for free.

You will be eligible for a free upgrade to Max/MSP 5 (including Jitter) if you have:

• Purchased Max/MSP or Max/MSP/Jitter after October 1, 2007
