A quantitative look at the Top 25 Library Bloggers provides some obvious ones, some new ones to check out and one massive glaring omission! (via the ALA's “American Libraries Direct” e-newsletter which is frankly one of the best e-newsletters I've seen in my life.) Also from the newsletter, I wants! [Edit: compare and contrast the […]
I mentioned in an earlier post that Bloglines isn't reading the RSS feed for this blog for some reason (and hasn't for some time apparently.) I sent them a complaint and they basically said “we're working on it”. A couple readers also sent in complaints to Bloglines with no results. No other news but I […]
An annual survey provides a snapshot of the world of library bloggers. I don't think I filled this out when the call for responses went out so here are my responses:1. Male2. 31-40 years old3. Western Canada (survey methodology – she lists “Eastern, Western and Middle of” as choices for Canada. I know there are […]
This meme was going around awhile back but I never picked up on it. But apparently a couple days ago was “Blog Day” where……on August 31st, bloggers from all over the world will post recommendations of 5 new Blogs, preferably Blogs that are different from their own culture, point of view and attitude.

(Last Updated: November 24, 2007) As I write this, I've been blogging for nearly a year a a half on a pretty much daily basis, I've written 662 posts and have received an average of one comment per post (two if you count the fact that I reply to almost every single comment I receive.) […]

This will be a bit sparse to start but I thought I'd do a post of FIMS classes that have related blogs. If you know of any other course blogs (or other related online materials – wikis, etc.) that are beyond the FIMS intranet, please let me know via a comment or e-mail.LIS746 – Collection […]
Jill has a really nice post about being a parent that resonated as Shea and I head towards our son's first month on this planet (and after dad's first week back in the office.)Michelle also admits to some amount of shame at her lack of blogosity in comparison to my almost-daily-posting track record, especially with […]
I'd seen this before but a friend sending it to me last week inspired me to get it up on the blog. It's a Flash video making some conspiracy theorist claims about Facebook – the people who run it having CIA ties, the abuse of its data-mining abilities and so on.I'm not sure what to […]
One of my favourite things about the stats package that comes with this blog is seeing who is linking to me (and therefore where my hits are coming from. For example, I got a ton of hits for my “12 Types of Library School Students” entry (three times as many as anything I've written in […]
