Exciting News for Free and Open Scholarship!

Published: Oct 29, 2008 2:59:18 PM

So, it seems that the makers of endnote have decided that they are screwed.  They are suing the makers of Zotero (which is awesome), and George Mason University is amazingly backing them up, and kicking Thompson-Reuters to the curb by cancelling their university-wide subscription.

Hey, let's collaborate!

I just started using ToodleDo, which is a web-based Getting Things Done kinda task managey thing.  It works with my fancy new iPhone, on the web and with Frictionless GTD (which I think is a pun on Kinkless GTD, but I've been Wrong Before).

Anyway, if you are thinking of signing up, Emily says you should use this link.  That way, I'll get some bennies if you upgrade to the Pro level.  I know, you're thinking, "Why should I help this Bozo out!  He's got everything."  But then you'll think shortly thereafter, "Oh yeah, he's in grad school and can barely afford socks."

If all goes well, I'll be updating this entry with more about Getting Things Done in the nearness of time.


My House is on Fire

I don't know anybody who ever had their house really catch on fire.  You know, when Firemen show up with Axes and go to town, and then you're left with a big, gaping hole in the wall, surrounded by char and the smell of smoke.  Except, of course, now I know one person - me!

The Demise of the Internets

I keep having ideas, and I think, "I should write that down!"  And then I don't.  So this is part of my effort to be better at that.

The Moment of Transformation's

The quantum wave repeats itself in fractal patterns, resulting in the "Moment of Transformation"s which will occur 30 years, 30 days, 30 hours, 30 minutes, 30 seconds and 30 milliseconds from the date of my birth (we stop our characterization at 1 msec given the temporal limitations of the human nervous system).

Or maybe I just didn't have the time or energy to plan a 30th birthday celebration.  Either way, you win.

But for now, we're kinda short on details.  E-mail me at dav@ecult.org if you're interested in helping with that.
