(21 Aug) Popularized late last year by the Web site, hackoff.com, a blook
is a book published first as a blog. Now it appears that the European
publisher, The Friday Project Limited, is making history by publishing
the first blook under Creative Commons license.
The blook, Blood, Sweat and Tea, is compiled from postings that first
appeared on the author's blog. It's now available in paperback format
at Amazon.com.
