Just days after I announce my own long-term wager book, I discover that some other outfit has done something very similar, and done it in very slick fashion too. They also insist that their bets be supported by at least $1000 wagers. They say that half of the interest on this money will go towards maintaining the web-site for the long periods required (until the universe stops expanding, say).
I've just learnt that the inventor of the game of Nomic, Peter Suber, is involved in a Free Online Scholarship campaign, something of which I entirely approve. There's an interesting interview with him about it here. Suber also has a news web-log devoted to the cause. The Budapest Open Access Initiative seems to be the founding document.
