Housecleaning isn't just a physical activity anymore – now, I find I have to take the time to clear out my virtual detritus every once in awhile too. So here are some links and articles I've had kicking around for awhile waiting for a good time to post. Amazon: New & Future Book ReleasesLibrarians talk […]
LISNews presents their annual list of ten library-related stories that shaped 2007. Closer to home, our top story of the day is that Shea won the AM1190 “Turkey Trotter” today by stalking the radio station's van as she drove home from a doctor's appointment. It parked in its “secret location” (one block from our house) […]
Now that I've been blogging for a year (actually heading towards two years I think), I've started to think about some posts that may become recurring features.

Some of the significant differences will be: named authors (who can choose to receive a portion of ad revenue for the “knol” pages they write) instead of Wikipedia’s anonymous author model.
