O'Reilly Open Books Project O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years. The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors. Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered. But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. We're happy to have partnered with two innovative nonprofits, Creative Commons and the Internet Archive, to solve the licensing and digitizing challenges involved in bringing Open Books to readers. While the books listed here use various open licenses, since 2003 we've focused on using the licenses created by Creative Commons. Through its Open Library project, the Internet Archive is scanning and hosting PDF versions of our open books. Donate to Creative Commons and the Internet Archive:

The terrible and wonderful reasons why I run long distances - Part 6 Update: Blerch running shirts are now in stock! "I believe in The Blerch" running shirts are now available, as well as oversized fridge magnets and bumper stickers. View shirts and stickers here Notes from the author My current training The race I mentioned in the beginning of this comic is the White River 50 mile endurance run. Boston Two years ago I did an interview with Men's Health where I mentioned trying to qualify for Boston. "I run to seek a void" This line came from Haruki Murakami's book What I talk about when I talk about running. Running books In addition to Murakami's book, here's a couple of my favorite books about running: Born to run A great book about the history, biology, and current state of running long distances. "But running is bad for your knees!" But running isn't for everyone, I get that. If you can't run, go ride a bike. Just please, for the love of bejeezus, spare me (or any other runner you meet) the "bad knee" speech. My PRs Most of my PRs aren't great.

ShowMeDo Adobe InDesign Tips I Wish I'd Known When Starting Out Advertisement I love Adobe InDesign. For multi-page documents, it’s the most flexible and complete application out there. Margins And Bleeds If you are preparing a document for print, keep your margins and bleeds in mind from the beginning. Master Pages When you have a multiple-page document, such as a brochure or catalog, using master pages will save you time. To set them up, bring up the Pages palette and double-click on “A-Master.” Add all of the elements that are repeated throughout most of your document: guides, page numbers, a running text box, image frames, graphic elements, etc. To apply your master page to new pages, simply drag it from the Master Pages pane onto the Pages pane in the palette.
