"For U.S. books published between 1923 and 1963, the rights holder needed to submit a form to the U.S. Copyright Office renewing the copyright 28 years after publication. In most cases, books that were never renewed are now in the public domain. Estimates of how many books were renewed vary, but everyone agrees that most books weren't renewed. If true, that means that
the majority of U.S. books published between 1923 and 1963 are freely usable." How do you know? The renewal copyright records have traditionally been scattered and hard to access, but Google - with the help of Project Gutenberg and the Distributed Proofreaders painstakingly typed in every word - has just released a single database as a
freely downloadable XML file.

Jack Keller's
winemaking site has not only the
basics of home winemaking in 5 parts [
12345], but also information on more
advanced topics, including
acidity,
blending, and
using a hydrometer. Equally interesting is his extensive collection of recipes for making wines out of things other than grapes, including
dandelions and other
edible flowers,
wild plants (including
nettles!),
cabbages and
beets,
tea and
coffee,
mint,
pomegranates, and
pumpkins. A complete list of recipes is
here, if you'd like to click through alphabetically, and a list of specially-requested recipes is
here (scroll down a bit).

Soon you may find yourself in the company of mushrooms.
If you're curious about them,
Mykoweb,
Tom Volk's Fungi (especially his FOTM section),
Fungal Jungal,
David Fischer's American Mushrooms,
MushroomExpert.com,
BCERN's Matchmaker and the
recently mentioned Roger's Mushrooms are remarkably handy, replete with descriptions and keys for reading up and identifying whether something growing in your yard is
heavenly or
hellish. The North American Mycological Association maintains a
list of affiliated clubs, too, if you want to enlist help in identifying something.

Taking a look through
this site, I can see why bird watching is such a popular hobby. From the
common to the
bizarre to the
downright adorable. this site has a little... no, scratch that, a whole lot of everything. I suggest starting at the family list on the lower left hand column of the main page and trounsing about for a spell; it's
good for the soul.

I often find myself with an open weekend and an urge to fly to no place in particular, just to go exploring. Whether it's Sioux City, Billings, or Biloxi, I figure I can entertain myself anywhere for a weekend. Are there websites that allow you to search for cheap, last minute flights from a given origin, irrespective of destination? Most sites require you to enter a destination, which makes the whole process a lot more difficult.

Since
Wordplay has come out, crossword puzzles have been on the rise. If you want to join in on the fun, read
this primer by Will Shortz to get started, then download
Across Lite, head to
Cruciverb, and do free puzzles in the right-hand sidebar.
Will Johnston's page contains a huge repository of Across Lite puzzles. If you get stuck, can't figure out why an entry is correct, or just want to chat about a grid's brilliant construction, try reading the crossword blogs. The best two are
Diary of a Crossword Fiend and
Rex Parker Does the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. (Caution! Spoilers abound!) And, if you want to try your hand at constructing some crosswords of your own (submission guidelines for various papers
here),
Crossword Compiler is an outstanding piece of software.

20 Years of Frontline... Online
The PBS documentary show
Frontline has been discussed
many times here on MetaFilter. This year, in September, it turns twenty years old, and to commemorate this event a number of popular and recent shows have
been put online:
The Merchants of Cool,
A Class Divided,
American Porn,
Abortion Clinic,
The Choice 2000, and more. Rewatch
some of
the episodes, then
reread the comments. How's that for meta?

I'm soliciting your recommendations for happy music. What gives you that
carpe diem,
joie de vivre, dancing-around-the-living-room-and-singing-into-a-rolled-up-magazine feeling? Suggestions for whole albums preferred to individual songs, but as long as we're doing this thread go ahead and suggest singles too for posterity's sake.

I am currently off work until my mental health improves and will shortly have one of my welfare payments suspended (I made some some from selling my half of a jointly owned house, but I'll need all of it to get a small apartment) so I will not have the money I used to for going to cinema or pub or restaurant. My girlfriend/ partner will be similarly impoverished but we don't just want to stay in and watch TV every night. So I was wondering if the group mind here could come up with suggestions for activities that don't cost a lot of money. I would like to be able to treat my partner to nice things but I won't be able to do that much, so I wondered what people here thought would be cheap things to do without seeming cheap, if that makes sense.

What are some fun, social, outdoor games that adults might like to play? I'm thinking games like Capture the Flag, or any of the new crop of "urban games" like city-wide tag. I'd like to organize some events for friends--anywhere from just a few people to dozens. Anything you particularly think is a blast?

Hey all, long time listener, first time caller. So... um. Yea. Yesterday while at work I leaned back in my chair and stuck my foot up in the corner of the underside of my desk. I felt something funny and leaned down to check it out.... somebody installed a webcam pointed at my crotch. Yay.
