This picture is apropos of nothing in particular. It doesn’t illustrate the theme of a post. In fact, there’s no post here to speak of. This time it’s the other way around. It’s the picture itself that is the point here, and the post exists only to give it a place to stand. This picture, Owlets by Paul Eby, is so good and so interesting in itself that I had to create this post just so I could put it here to show you.

Paul Eby is generous enough to contribute photos to the Oliver Photo Club blog, and was kind enough to allow me to show them to you. To see more of his pictures of these owlets, click on the picture, or here.

Share This Book

Share This Book
Chris Sakkas writes a blog called Living Libre. In it he talks about the many ways that creative content can be shared openly. This includes free/open software, which I have used in the creation of Green Comet the novel, and Green Comet the website. It also includes Creative Commons licenses, such as the one I have used for the novel.

Chris has written a book called Share This Book, in which he clearly and concisely explains the concepts of free/open/libre creative content. Naturally, he has released the book under an open license – Creative Commons Attribution – CC-BY. You are encouraged to download Share This Book for free.

If you’ve ever wondered why I chose a Creative Commons license for Green Comet, Share This Book might be enlightening.

quote:
Jim Bowering, Jake Hartnell
Jim and Jake graciously let us use their sci-fi novels for testing our new program. Bonus: both books are pretty mind-blowing. Jim’s Green Comet imagines … life on a comet. Jake’s book extrapolates romance into our plugged-in future.
Green Comet
23rd Century Romance
