A Religious Bird, originally uploaded by headtale. I don’t normally make a habit of taking photos of strangers without their permission (honest!) but I thought this one was pretty funn. A woman sitting across from me on the bus the other day was reading her daily devotions while cross-referencing the Bible. Meanwhile, I was reading […]
“A View From Your Desk” is a Tumblr site where librarians can submit photos of their cats. Nah, just kidding – it’s what it says it is.

On Sunday, I did a post about the WikiLeaks situation where I mentioned the possibility of the world’s first true “cyber-war” as one likely outcome, citing the denial service of attacks on the WikiLeaks site as the first salvo and mentioning the plans of the hactivist group, Anonymous , to retaliate. That indeed came to […]
Dr. Sam Trosow holds a pretty special place in my FIMS experience as both the first and last professor I had classes with. Thinking about my first class is pretty funny in retrospect but at the time quite stressful since I mis-read my schedule as my first night class happening at 7pm when in reality, […]

As someone who’s very interested […]
It’s always good to have a song that makes you want to dance around the room and this song has the coveted “most played” top spot in my “Pace Dancing Tunes” playlist.
WikiLeaks (which is down as I write this for reasons I’ll get to) is a site that’s been around since 2006 and first got a mention on this blog just over a year ago for a library-related story. Since then, the site has released two fairly large dumps of information obtained from a single army […]
Resting before Christmas party, originally uploaded by headtale. The busiest time of the year – Christmas party last night, friends over tonight, RPL Kids Christmas party tomorrow afternoon. It really takes it out of a guy!
I went to the Ness Creek Festival a few times in the late 1990’s. It’s got many similarities to the more typical folk music festivals you’re probably most familiar with but there’s something about this festival – its origins as a tree planters’ festival in a remote location probably being its most distinguishing feature – […]
Google is apparently preparing to launch an e-book service by Christmas with the big unique feature being that the books you purchase will be linked to your Google account so you can access them from pretty much any kind of device rather than having the book downloaded to one or a few proprietary devices. In […]
