I used the following list when I did up a “mini-yearbook” for our 10 year high school reunion and came across it recently in a new Facebook group dedicated to the topic. So I thought I'd re-post it here. You Know You're From A Small Town When… 1. You can name everyone you graduated with. […]

The Twelve Types of Library School Students
This is a post I started near the end of library school and meant to post during my furious last week of longish, library school-related entries. But I never got it finished so I thought it would make a good 500th post for this blog instead. Yep, I’ve been at it just over a year […]

On Other Blogs…
I know that everybody who reads this blog doesn't necessarily read all of the same blogs that I do. So every once in awhile, I like to highlight some of the great entries I've found elsewhere. For example, Meshell had a great post on what exactly a blog is, why people do it and a […]
Universal Books?
Last night, while thinking about the vast publishing industry and the fact that you could never read even a fraction of the books published each year, even in a lifetime of reading, I wondered “Are there any books that you could be sure that almost every single person who is a reader has read?” I […]

Web 2.0's Potential Benefits To Society

About Me (A Timeline of My Life)
Following up on my promise from awhile ago to add an “About Me” page to this blog, I decided to do something a bit different than the traditional, paint-by-numbers, paragraph-long business-style bio or the fun but frivolous, paragraph-long informal version that many web sites have (er, no offense meant if that's what your web site […]
The Oscars – A Hypothetical Guide
I briefly thought about liveblogging the Oscars last night but realised that I'd just make the same snarky jokes that everyone else did. So instead, I thought I'd post hypothetical instructions on how you might view some of these films without leaving the comfort of your own home.1. Hypothetically, download and install Azuerus, a bittorrent […]
FTRW 2007 – Day 2 – What Freedom to Read Week Is *Not*
From my time on the Calgary Freedom to Read Week committee and having planned a student reading at FIMS, I’ve heard quite a few misconceptions about what “Freedom To Read” is about: Here’s what Freedom to Read is not:1. Freedom to Read is not limited to reading. Freedom to Read means you have the right […]
