So we worked hard to make the installation and first use as easy as possible. We came up with the 15 minutes rule: we wanted a user to be able to have MySQL up and running 15 minutes after he finished downloading it. With advanced installers like apt and rpm, the installation time can go down to seconds . (datacharmer.blogspot.com....-rule.html)

Stick the metal tip of the starter charcoal and hold the button down to get the charcoal burning. Then point the starter at the coals and really get them cooking. It allegedly takes sixty seconds for the fan forced heat to get the charcoal ready. When they say heat, they are not kidding either, the 60 Second Charcoal Starter is good for 1,290° F, I guess that does not need to be prefaced with keep out of reach of children.

i actually agree even though im the one who lifted it from the lessig flash presentation and submitted it. i do think there could be better ways of saying what we are trying to say. although honestly i think the best option is to spread more than just one adhesive meme that we can all appreciate. we are trying to spark creativity that happens to be concise enough for people to "get it" in three seconds or less. not just to find a single magic bullet bumper sticker/web banner. what we are really trying to do is out-create the "creativity industry", which actually isnt very hard. i think "free mickey" is cute and attention getting and cuts quickly to a point, although admitedly not all the points we want to focus on. would go very well with 3 or 4 other major stickers as a good start. i hadnt thought of the association with a computer mouse though. that adds a nice little kick to it. relates to freeing content and our ability to use it.

recently the Ad Council has had a series of tv ads on what it would be like if America wasnt free. they have focused on things like newspapers being treated like contraband and certain books being asked for in a library being cause for ominous secret agents stopping you and taking you away for "questioning". the parallels with the drug war and the free use battle we are talking about here, deserve to have a similar approach. what i would like to see to go along with all of these attempts to explain lessig in 3 seconds or less is a larger effort to take this message to the general public. we have the resources and the skills, the creativity and drive are what is at question right now. and im pretty confident we have those also. im thinking it might be a good idea to turn this little exercise in creative bumbpersticker making into a larger project. to start with by making a website based on the foundation of some of the things that have already been done. its just a thought, and im sure we all have just as full a plate of things to do as anyone else, but it would be interesting to see where it might go (www.oreillynet.com....les_1.html)
Kindergarten-Grade 2-A little girl approaching her seventh birthday introduces children to the elements of time from seconds to minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years, using concrete examples from her life to illustrate the concepts. She can write an invitation to her party in a minute and it takes one hour to make a birthday cake. Brief discussions of a Viking ship, a photo of her great-great-grandpa, and her mother's wedding dress represent more abstract concepts such as millennium , century, and decade. Colorful, childlike drawings reinforce the explanations, and the back flyleaf presents a chart reviewing the concepts. A serviceable title. (www.amazon.com....64-7119268)
