I know...I know...in the world of social networking like twitter, blogs just aren't cool anymore, right? Well every once and a while I want to share something that exceeds 144 characters, so I created SolamenteNiel, my blog. While I'm at it, I'm also going old school with a cheesy picture of myself on my blog. In this picture I'm pertending to be an IndyCar driver.
I was listening to Mahalo Daily, and there was a story on Creative Commons Licensing. I've seen the creative commons license used for open source code and web templates, but I've recently learned that it can be used for photos and music too. Via the Mahalo Daily story, I learned about ccMixter, "a community music site featuring remixes licensed under Creative Commons, where you can listen to, sample, mash-up, or interact with music in whatever way you want."
I was curios if the music was any good, so I listened to a few mixes. It's not bad.....not bad at all. Here's one of my favorites, which I can legally post on my blog thanks to the Creative Commons license.
