  1. I saw osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/ a few months ago and thought it might be a good idea to donate a bit in order to help them support open source projects. I regret this decision now. They keep sending me generic emails about their university, about alumni, and about funding, and absolutely do not honour their unsubscribe pages. I ended up blocking 4 of their domains on my email server. Shame.

  3. A step-by-step guide to #SavingSeeds

    by Maud Powell, March 2010

    "Summer and autumn are the seasons when many gardeners and farmers are out in their fields collecting vegetable, fruit and flower seeds for the next season. Seed saving is an excellent way to engage in the worldwide movement to preserve some of the older 'heirloom' varieties of seed.

    "During the past two decades, many seed companies have consolidated, and regulations regarding the patenting of seed varieties have been loosened. As a result, seed companies routinely drop older varieties for newer ones, which are usually hybridized and/or patented.

    "Organized grassroots #SeedSaving efforts, as well as inspired gardeners and farmers, have done an excellent job of saving many heirloom varieties.

    "Seed saving is also a great way to develop seed lines that are well adapted to a particular environment. Saving seed from the healthiest plants year after year enables growers to select for traits that are most suitable for their growing conditions.

    "Finally, seed saving encourages a deeper understanding of the life cycle of plants. We rarely see certain vegetable plants, such as lettuce, onions and carrots, in the reproductive stage of their lives. Saving seed provides growers with an education in plant genetics and breeding, which is usually left to universities and seed companies. Following are the four basic steps to saving seed."

  10. Rocky Linux, Arch Linux and Debian. I assume many recognize these Linux distributions and likely use them everyday.

    Despite their differences they share something in common. They rely on Oregon State University's Open Source Lab for part of their infrastructure.

    Rocky Linux, Arch Linux and Debian are just 3 of the many open source projects that rely on OSU's OSL. A much longer list can be found on the OSU OSL website: osuosl.org/communities/

    Unfortunately Oregon State University's Open Source Lab will be shut down later this year unless they acquire a total of $250,000 in donations by May 14, 2025. osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/

    The future of open source lies within our hands.

  11. With the latest funding predicament at #osuosl, I can't help but wonder how much money the public Oregon State University "invests" annually in college sports programs and infrastructure.

    Their financial report curiously doesn't get into that much detail, but I bet it's significantly more than $0.25m.

    A collaboration co-led by an #OregonStateUniversity chemistry researcher is hoping to spark a green battery revolution by showing that iron instead of #cobalt and #nickel can be used as a cathode material in #lithiumion batteries.

  13. Congrats to the Oregon State women's basketball team, for reaching the Elite Eight for their 3rd time ever. For a team that started the year unranked and with no expectations, to be one of the last 8 teams in the tournament is a hell of an achievement. Go Beavs.

  15. Please let this forecast hold up. We haven't had measurable rain in so long.

    Even if there's no rain, any high in the 70s is a gift this summer.

  16. This Saturday is Earth Day, and there is no shortage of ways to celebrate and contribute this year in and around Corvallis, Oregon. Help restore a meadow of Indigenous first foods, clear invasive trees, take down old fences, or join a nature parade. And afterward, let's all get together to raise a glass at the after party.
