    That was such a weird story! On one hand, he has been a big supporter of the football program at the school and the scoreboard didn’t seem totally unreasonable. But as a former university librarian, the salary is generally under $60k for non-mangers, so saving that $1 million was an amazing feat of savings and the scoreboard seemed like a weird choice by the school.



  • Not at the time this happened. Aaron’s case was one of the motivating factors that led to the Open Access publication movement gaining enough traction that authors could publish that way. JSTOR access is paid for and administered on college campuses by libraries and librarians as a whole field felt terrible both about the paid publication system and the way Aaron was treated. As a community of professionals, the Librarian and Information Science community pushed very hard for the adoption of Open Access publishing into the Academic community.



  • We subscribed to Trade Coffee for about 8 months and they sent us a totally new bag from a different roaster every week. We played around with it a lot, many different kinds and roasts of coffee, and found one roaster in Atlanta we really like. You rate each coffee as you try them and they adjust what to send you next week. You can read descriptions of each coffee on their site and pick what order things come in.

    It’s perfect for when you want to have a broad selection of coffee over time.

    My only warning is Trade doesn’t really do dark, dark roasts. My taste pallette falls all the way at the end of their range and their rating scale is a little confusing so it took me a couple conversations with their customer service department to get my account set to only send dark roasts.
