Science Addiction

For context, read the continuing adventures of OCLC, WorldCat and the intricate scandals of the librarian community. It’s fascinating stuff—librarians fighting back against a monster of their own creation. Copyright, fair use, creative commons, an old behemoth trying to change with the times, it has all the ingredients of a magnificent geek activism tale.

I’ve been running this blog for more than 3 years, but “Science Addiction” had always been a stop-gap name. It was a domain name I had lying around and the blog- at the time- didn’t have much of a direction.

Over time, the blog got a direction- which probably had something to do with this article of mine- and the name no longer fit the bill. And so, after thinking about it for a long time, I’ve rebranded the blog as GeekActivism.com—a name that actually describes what you’ll find here.
