I had a brief conversation by email with Cory Doctorow , a science fiction author who is also a copyleft activist, who releases everything he writes with a CC license. I finally finished the first edited version of the scifi novel I wrote last summer. That feels good. Next steps are get some feedback, and move forward with it, somehow.

The busses around here are called PVTA – for Pioneer Valley Transit Authority. So I’m sitting at my now most favorite free wifi hotspot ( Bart’s in Amherst - it’s quiet and easy to find an outlet) and I happen to be looking at MacStumbler at the same time as a bus drives by. Yeah, really, really!

The good news is, nonprofit leaders don’t have to settle for waste in their organizations. But the reverse is good news for nonprofit leaders.

I started promoting the Public Library of Science to the readers of Nonprofit Online News as far back as December of 2002. The question of licensing is a terrible dilemma for authors, readers, reviewers and publishers right now and I happen to be all of the above. I’m in an absurd position, personally.
