I Love xkcd (and Creative Commons)
Via BoingBoing, whose new design I’ve grown to love, comes NoamR’s animated riff off of Randall Munroe’s xkcd, um, riff off of the Discovery Channel song, sung here by Olga Nunes:
I Love xkcd from NoamR on Vimeo.
Note: WordPress.com sadly refuses to embed Noam’s Vimeo-hosted video no matter what I do. It’s bad about stripping code out. If I can get the video in the post rather than linking, I will. (WordPress, FIX THIS.)
It’s wonderful what Creative Commons makes possible. Randall releases each xkcd under an Attribution-NonCommercial license, freeing NoamR to create this video, which he shared with an Attribution-NonCommerial-ShareAlike license.
So now you and I are free to adapt both, under those simple provisions. How hard is it to attribute, not make money and share?
