Portugal Publishing Itself Screensaver
The Portugal Publishing Itself screensaver shows datasets newly published to Portugal's open data portal, key-less. Arquivo.pt appears often and is worth knowing about: it is the national web archive, and it publishes datasets about the archived web — which company sites existed and when they vanished. An archive treating its own crawl history as open data is unusual. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
