This week I was horrified when @adityavm moved from the most evil of Creative Commons licenses (BY-NC-ND) to All Rights Reserved.  As an advocate of free culture I began to realize just how dangerous it can be to walk that evil line of just-barely-free.  I took a long, hard look at my own licensing practices and decided it was time to open up.  All previous and future entries on my blog (unless otherwise noted) are now licensed CC-BY.  Let freedom reign!

Some significant improvements to my ActionStream plugin. The plugin can always be downloaded from that page.  The changes are:

1. Bugfix in how some feeds were handled (notably google reader)
2. If nicknames are being displayed, they are hcards with links to your profile at that service
3.  Including updates from your own blog is now optional
4. There is now an option to remove services you have added
5. Collapsed (5 more… et al) nodes may now be expanded on link click
