Since, I've posted a bunch of entries based on articles in the corporate media today, I'll post some personal stuff, too. I just learned that I'll be a Teaching Assistant in RTF 334M next semester, which is a course in video game development. This should certainly be an interesting experience, not least because I am far from being a video game enthusiast. Maybe they want me to be Mr. "Do you think this is reinforcing negative gender stereotypes?" I'm sure anything the students come up with will be more PC than Custer's Revenge.

Last night, Jordan and I went to a dinner-discussion sponsored by EFF-Austin, where we talked about changes to intellectual property law. Jordan is a first year at UT-Law, and he wants to pursue entertainment law, so this was of particular interest to him. I told one of the co-ordinators I would lead a discussion on open radio spectrum at a later date. I've talked to a fellow student that works at the RTF department's Telecommunications and Information Policy institute about this topic before, so I may ask for her help when I am preparing. Update (12/12): I just learned through Slashdot that the FCC has said publicly it is considering opening up more of the EM spectrum to unlicensed devices.
