I'm still trying to figure out what to do about posting these things. I think I want to keep my professional and fannish identities separate, and it would be good to have somewhere to direct people when I say "I blog" :) But I might make it another LJ rather than migrating to blogspot or similar, just because I like it over here.
At the professional conference I'm going to later this year, I'm going to a seminar about the Patriot Act, so hopefully at that point I'll actually be qualified to talk about it, but what I do know is very, very scary.
On Open Access, yup, that's exactly what it would mean. There are both moral and practical arguments in favour of it, but it'll mean turning established publishing models on their heads, and no one knows yet whether that's going to work. I'll keep everyone posted!
