A Contribution to Defining the Term Definition I frequently become impatient when people want to begin by defining things (for example, 'learning objects'). Not because I don't think we should be clear, but because the process of definition then commences with little or no reflection on what constitutes a definition. This paper is an exercise in that sort of reflection. It's of fairly narrow scope, but it does allow me to make here the point that there are many types of definition, and that not all types of definition are appropriate to all things.

One of my major criticisms of current online music offerings is the limited selection of materials - if I want to be mainstreamed, I'll listen to AM radio.

Information Cannot be Owned Good discussion on the nature of information and its relation to law. The central argument is that "[the] norms governing the handling of information are not by themselves of a legal nature. As far as they are not, they are of course not legally enforceable.
