Pinboard - antisocial bookmarking

I honestly don't know whether this is an excellent disruption of a broken system, or a sign that we're heading even faster into an SFnal dystopian future. The fact you can pay by bitcoin makes me think the latter's more likely.

Plan a Trip Through History With ORBIS, a Google Maps for Ancient Rome - Atlantic Mobile

How come it took three weeks for me to hear about this mapping hack to help you understand travel routes and expenses in Ancient Rome? Maps, history, digital humanities -- what's not to love? I only wish this existed for other time periods. Imagine how useful it would be for people writing historical fiction!

Criminal Creativity: Untangling Cover Song Licensing on YouTube - Waxy.org

A few interesting things here, including the little-known fact that you need a (nearly impossible to get, if you're an ordinary person) synch license to post a cover song on YouTube, and that ContentID can now identify cover songs, up to and including drunk guys belting out "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the back of police cars.

Brodustrial: WWJD?

Via jwz: an industrial music performer discovers he's booked to play alongside some really nasty bigots. Asking, "What Would Jello Biafra Do?" he ends up calling out the racism and sexism of the other bands' lyrics, videos, and album art in a PowerPoint presentation -- while opening for them. It's good viewing, but NSFW.
