In the past few weeks The Guardian has published a few articles that I generally refer to as ‘Our Digital Future’. These are important takes on the future of digital consumption, archiving, and rules, which, in my opinion, everyone should read and consider.

Why did Ofcom back down over DRM at the BBC?

Cory Doctorow tells us that… the corporation is endangering its own future by letting the Hollywood studios set the rules for its HD broadcasts.

Why 2010 will be the year TV and the web really converge

Steve Plunkett explains how milestones such as Project Canvas will bring together broadcast television and online media.

Is copyright getting in the way of us preserving our history?

Victor Keegan on The issue of copyright is a global nightmare for anyone interested in digital preservation.

and also:

Ducks, Nazis and Disney: well, that’s one way to get a TV transition

Cory Doctorow asks in part 2 of his article: Is crippling our sets, and handing over our cultural regulation to a foreign cartel, the best way to get viewers switched on to high-definition?

*** Update: a new article has been added.

John Naughton writes in The Observer:

The Google Three, Italy and Silvio Berlusconi

The web may be global but sovereign states still make up the rules.

– Let me know what you think.

A great conceptual campaign by Aten Design Group. Self promotion in an almost genius way:

IE6 Funeral

Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as “IE6,” is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.

Funeral services for Internet Explorer Six will be held at 7pm on March 4 at Aten Design Group, 1629 Downing Street, Denver, CO 80218. Those unable to attend the funeral are asked to send flowers.

Blood Stains.

These images are generated by evaluating and interpreting the 1997 music video “Mo Money Mo Problems” from the first disc of the Notorious B.I.G. album, Life After Death. The algorithm detects edges in the image and attempts to trace motion from frame to frame, using the initial frame as their starting point. The output is rendered as a vector image, the curves represent the motion.

The Good Lobbyists?

“As Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Max Baucus is one of the most instrumental lawmakers in crafting the health care reform that President Barack Obama has promised. In his many years on the committee, Baucus has amassed a wealth of connections to the health care and insurance industries, often through his ties to former staffers turned lobbyists.

The five former Baucus staffers who now lobby for the health care or insurance interests represent twenty-seven different companies or associations. In some cases these lobbyists have the same clients. This map of connections expose how close the many organizations seeking influence on health care reform are to one of the most powerful players in Washington.”

All data was taken from OpenSecrets.org.

I guess if it’s in favour of an health reform or greener factories, I am in pro lobbying. Or at least, I feel it’s not that bad.
