This really has turned into a baby blog (as opposed to a library and technology one) lately, hasn't it? I checked my stats and the number of readers continues to grow but I assume that's as much to do with the long tail of old entries that people are finding as with anything new that […]
I'm not a big fan of the Hallmark holidays – those ones that you just know were made up at some point in the past, mainly to sell greeting cards. But anyhow, happy first Father's Day to me! Most of us know the ways that parenthood affects mothers. But in keeping with the theme of […]
Doing my third diaper change of the morning reminded me of this excellent Malcolm Gladwell article I read a year or two ago. In it, he looks at the history of disposable diapers, their science and the impact various elements have had on the economic aspects of the product. Shea and I did the cloth […]
I had this ready to go yesterday but never got near a computer to post it. So I'm backdating to Friday and life goes on… “The Prelinger Library is a small privately owned “public library” in San Francisco with the unique philosophy that browsing library stacks can reveal new knowledge, if the books are arranged […]
I can't remember if I ever mentioned it on this blog (probably knowing me) but I'm currently volunteering on the web site redesign task force of the Canadian Library Association.

I am…26.58 % mainstream in my musical listening habits. Kinda surprising – I would've guessed I was about 80% mainstream. Actually I probably am 80% mainstream if this site could look at my CD collection. But my online music listening habits (which are tracked by last.fm and which is where these stats are drawn from) […]
