Link to Another Blog That Allows Its Users To Post Libelous Comments – Get Sued Yourself!

When Jessamyn West was here for SLA, this topic came up at the after-event gathering.  I meant to post something about it at that time when the story was still somewhat fresh but never got to it, being as busy as I was with much more important matters like cute baby pictures and Flash-based Friday […]

This is my Wordle of the most common words I used on this blog in May 2008…

Friday Fun Link – 2008 LJ Movers and Shakers (March 28, 2008)

I was looking at my blog stats today and started thinking about RSS (really simple syndication for anyone who doesn't know – a technology that allows you to use an external source – either your e-mail client or a web site or a piece of software or whatever) to track your favourite sites.  So, if […]
