Morton Malaise

I put a couple new sets up on my Flickr page today. You may all view them at your leisure. Or don’t. Whatever. I would like to know the history behind the big red house, if anyone knows.

This article appeared on Techdirt today, and I know at least two readers who will have something to say about it:
