Freeman Dyson

I awoke yesterday to be confronted by the news of Freeman Dyson's death. Who you might ask, well he was a Theoretical Physicist, a man who dreamed of things and tried to make it work with very complicated mathematics.

For most it was his episode of Startrek and Picard's discovery of a Dyson Sphere, also staring the last appearance of Scotty.
His daughter, one of many children he leaves, is EstherDyson her book 2.1 is required reading. on Computer Science and the internet, I have an old copy I purchased on my travels through an airport.

The Guardian has an excellent obituary of Freeman, his life and Family, his awards and papers. Although searching on Google Scholar has many of his papers. If like me you can access many of them they are excellent reading, well mostly, a couple are full of complex maths I can't begin to follow.

Techcitejournal my new site to promote academic papers

For some while I have been thinking about setting up a site to host not only my own Tech papers but any one who has or wants to publish a tech paper to promote Architectural Technology. I have named it Techcitejournal, I think it adequately describes what the site is all about.

Currently its hosted on a Wordpress.com site, but if there is enough interest I'll move it to its own site.

At present I an setting up the papers I have written, but if you have a paper old or new, sent it to the upload address and I will review and post

If your interested in becoming a reviewer, again drop me anEmail to the same address and we can talk.

I still have no logo, so thats next, also I need to add some html to allow citations to be easily done for any article. I also want  Scholar.Google.com or at least Google.com to list and scan my new site, this I have requested.

There is no cost to all of this, I want to provide a free and uncluttered publishing web site free of firewalls,  This Peer review journal will operate on the principles of Open Access. I see no reason but to quote this excellent open Access statement from Peter Suber on Open Access. The full version can be found here, it say it all. You might also want to read the Sparc site on this subject as well.

Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it possible is the internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder.

But till them take a look, I'll be uploading my papers as and when I can.
