Oh look! This has to be a sign of Success! Ian made a green version of my blog design! I stole the stylesheet for my first blog design from Stewart of Sylloge.org (I later apologised and was forgiven), and it’s so cool to have other people use my stuff as well. I wonder whether you can put creative commons licences on stylesheets? I think I just wrote: “use what you can” on mine.

When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]
In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]

I wonder if you can put any kind of lisence on CSS. I highly doubt you can claim “copyright” on a CSS. Who’s to say they were the first one to use .blue_box {background-color:blue} for instance

Oh, but that’s like saying that you can’t copyright a poem because anyone can use the letter “a”! I bet you could, if you wanted!

Naah..is it really? Well…everyone can put a license on anything, I guess. But I highly doubt it would have any legal consequences to license a CSS. Most things are just too common – it wouldn’t make any sense.
I see that some have done it, though:

But it sure wouldn’t have frightened me if I were to distribute a product (a discussion forum, for instance), using the same kind of layout (-the images).

Encouraged by your post, I adapted your design for my wonderful-newborn-son’s weblog. It’s a 2-column-blue-and-orange version of your
The blog is at http://linus.katzenbach.info/ and is just a tiny diary for family and friends to stay tunes with linus’ development.
Thanks for your inspiration.

Just checked my layout the first time w/Internet Explorer and WIN… and have to see the blue rounded boxes totally scattered.
Whereas your boxes withstand the messy CSS-Interpretation of IE. Why is that? Any ideas?
Jill
Oh god. I dunno. It works, touch wood, so I keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
I hate explorer.
Usually it’s something stupid like you forgot to close a
or somethihng.
