This Week's Salad

• Follow-up item: China unblocks the New York Times. Well, I suppose that's a small step in the right direction...


• The Far Side Reenactment Pool. The sincerest, and perhaps strangest, form of flattery.


• Obama's science advisors include an open access supporter, which I guess is sort of a follow-up to the POSTNotes link I provided last week. This is not the first nomination that has gone to someone with strong beliefs about online community and freedom of information, and I'm excited to see where this all goes.

Serious post to follow in a few days' time.
