The blog is dead. Long live the blog!

It's been a good run but after four and a half years of nearly daily posts chronicling everything from my time at library school to the birth of my son to dozens of single link posts to all manner of technology stories and silly YouTube videos,  the time has come to finally move this blog […]

Blog Holiday

As I mentioned the other day, Shea, Pace and I are on holidays for the next little bit.  And even though I have such a serious Internet addiction that I bought a wireless router on my way into Kelowna so I could have WiFi at my aunt's place (I wish I were kidding about that! […]

That does bring up some random thoughts…– I get contacted by or comments from or connect to about one new library school student (or someone contemplating going to library school) […]

We're #100, We're #100!!!

A web site called BachelorsDegreesOnline.com has posted a list of 100 Best Blogs for Librarians of the Future and guess who's #100?  Yep, that's me!  I guess if I'm not #1, #100 isn't a bad spot to be in terms of where you'll get noticed – especially in a list that long.  They gave me […]

An Unplanned (But Greatly Enjoyed) Blog Holiday

As is probably quite obvious, I try to post to this blog on a daily basis at the minimum.  I occasionally miss the odd day (and even then, I sometimes back date posts the next morning to keep up the daily post record – if you see a post dated anytime within ten minutes to […]
