* Open Access Perspective, Part I: Pioneer OA Journals: The Arc of
Enthusiasm, Five Years Later - If you're aware of my 2001 study, Getting
Past the Arc of Enthusiasm, you'll know what this is about: Seeing how
many early free scholarly ejournals made it through more than a decade
of publishing.

section with various items on print books, bookstores (OK, mostly
Cody's), and ebooks.

* Interesting & Peculiar Products - seven items, including good
inexpensive keyboards (think name brand), cheap steganography, and the
25 worst tech products.

* Open Access Perspective, Part II: Pioneer OA Journals: Preliminary
Additions from DOAJ - How many other free scholarly ejournals have been
around since 1995? This piece provides a preliminary answer to that
question (maybe somewhere between 84 and 147, maybe not).
