Overweight stalker school-girls need vector graphics too !
Last night Karla and I flicked on the TV ( that’s a television for you internet kids) and witnessed personal open-content history in the making…
It seem F-grade comedy show The Wedge has a segment where a schoolgirl named Lucy records messages of comical obsession through her computers webcam. ( to some guy named dylan )
Anyway, this skits always start with a computer desktop environment featuring icons that I contributed to the public domain!!!!
Most prominently is an Inkscape icon, gnome-terminal illustration and various others. Im sure they got to these via openclipart where all my contributions are pledged to the public domain and free to use anywhere.
The icons are very old works of mine so im guessing they look the part for a crazy stalker chicks desktop.
This is almost as cool as the mention of ubuntu on teen-drama veronica mars by a character who later is revealed as a terrorist. Hah! isnt TV great.. stay tuned kids !
Pledging content to PD is great because you dont have to be 70 years dead to appreciate someone else using it.
peace

And now, “Imortalized on TV”. Well, almost.
