This still isn’t my ever-percolating rant about e-books and libraries but I wanted to show how the bar has been raised by this awesome post which includes the great passage: And if you thought about it for more than five seconds, you’d understand what the real purpose of the library should be. And it ain’t […]

Today Is The Biggest Sporting Day of the Year

I am of course talking about “Scott Gomez Day” in which we will learn if an NHL player making $7 million dollars a year can go a full calendar year without scoring a single goal (since I’m writing this later in the day, we now know the answer – he can!) Luckily, the fans in […]
