I painted this watercolor painting of happy wildflowers - daisies and poppies - some years ago, but I still like it. So I thought I share it with you here today...

It’s #Caturday and there’s some excellent synchronised catting going on. Raining. I think it’s going to be a sleepy kind of day.

#OpenAccess 20 years ago this month

I wrote a regular newsletter on OA from 2001-2013.
https://cyber.harvard.edu/~psuber/wiki/History_of_open_access#Newsletter_(2001-2013)

Every January I wrote a summary of the previous year's major OA developments.

Here are some excerpts from my summary of OA in 2003, published in January 2004.

I’ve just spent about 40 mins trying to update my work password. Firstly you can’t do it just by clicking on reset pw, you have to pretend you’ve forgotten it. Then I seemed to have done it but it wouldn’t accept it when I restarted. Now every pw I try to choose is apparently against the policy though I’m following it. FFS

“Each article is a deep dive into some of the topics we have explored this semester, including data collection and tracking, surveillance, digital power imbalances and the rise of artificial intelligence. The pieces scrutinize the intricate relationships between these themes, shedding light on the profound impact they have on privacy, security, and the ethical considerations surrounding data practices.” https://mfadt.parsons.edu/darkdata/2023/pages/editors.html

Letter from the Editor

The multitude of labels and the frequency at which new identifiers are introduced reveals important phenomena: how rapidly tech developments are being introduced and how quickly and unpredictably they affect the data landscape, how stark power imbalances have become between those who control the tech and those who consume it, and how divided our society has become. Alarmingly, the names we give to our time seem all too eager to leave the human behind. They are pessimistic—prioritizing the machine above the person, resting power with corporations over users, and emphasizing division instead of consensus.

Remembering the 14 women killed on 6 December 1989 at the école polytechnique in Montreal. Because they wanted to be engineers and because they were women.
