The son of conservative icon, Phyllis Schlafly, Andrew Schlafly has set-up a conservative alternative to the “liberal-biased” Wikipedia called “Conservapedia“. (via MetaFilter which includes some of the funnier excerpts from the site.)
There are lots of lists of best opening and closing lines/paragraphs of novels. But how about a list of best opening paragraphs from academic titles? (via MetaFilter which, as always, has some good discussion, other suggestions and related links) Here’s a bonus FFL – “Virus“, a fun little Flash game that’s sort of like a […]
I said last week that I love getting something in my in-box on Friday morning that I can turn around and use as a Friday Fun Link later that same day. (In fact, feel free to e-mail me if you know a site that is funny, unique or thought-provoking. I can’t guarantee I’ll use it […]
Sometimes an idea for the day’s FFL pops right in your in-box on a Friday morning. Here’s something fellow Librarian Activist editor, David Jackson, sent me today. “I Bless The Rains Down in Africa” is an article from music web site Pitchfork, comparing the presence of information about Africa with information about the Star Wars […]
DoTheRightThing.com is a new web site that’s similar to Digg in that users submit stories and others vote the stories up or down. But unlike Digg, where the criteria for voting up or down a story are fairly diverse, this site asks for you to vote based on the positive or negative impact the story […]
Beyond the irony of that I’m writing about a game called “Homelessness: It’s No Game”, there are other problems with this Flash project.

Most people reading this are probably familiar with LibraryThing, a web site that allows you to easily enter and catalogue your books, see the libraries of others (including those with a similar collection to yours) and much more. But LibraryThing is not the only site in this area. Shelfari is the latest addition to the […]
US News names their 25 Best Careers for 2007 and Librarian is right up there – although we get a “C” rating for both “job outlook” and “prestige”. (Physician’s assistant on the other hand…)
Found this via another site. It uses the number of sites linking to your blog to calculate a value for that blog. (I guess my IPO will be a bit longer in the making. LibrarianActivist on the other hand… ) Head Tale My blog is worth $7,339.02.How much is your blog worth? LibrarianActivist.org […]
For the second week in a row, I'm sort of fudging the Friday Fun Link. Last week, I did it by posting one video on LibrarianActivist and a different one on Head Tale. This week, I'm repeating something I already posted here (an entry about year-end lists from a couple weeks ago) over there. So […]
