The woman who teaches the course, Sally Elliott, gets raves from everybody we talk to so I'm pretty excited. Plus I'll find out if reading “The Poo Bomb” is sufficient preparation for having a child.
I've put a bookmarking widget up on the top left of this site that will allow you to submit my site (and any individual page or range of pages – ie. all pages within a category or a keyword) to any of thirty or so social bookmarking sites. This includes all the major services – […]

Congrats to Amanda Etches-Johnson who was recently named one of Library Journal's 2007 Movers & Shakers. Amanda taught the “Social Software” course at FIMS in Fall 2006 and everything I heard about this class sounded like it was amazing. I don't know many of the names on the list of past winners but wonder if […]

Something I've noticed more frequently when visiting friends and family (and even on occasion when I get access to strangers' homes – ie. going to check out used baby items or whatever) is that […]

But then you do a bit of a throwaway post albeit on a fairly interesting hypothetical question and you get tons of thoughtful, passionate responses. So inspired by Cenobyte who said she was going to pose that […]

This e-mail reminded me of a MetaFilter thread I saw a few weeks ago (and I think had even bookmarked into my “Potential FFL’s” folder) that mentions not only the MIT […]
A fellow FIMS student pointed me to a new human-assisted search engine called Cha-Cha. It allows you to do regular searches but if you're stymied, you can also click on the “Search With Guide” button, a chat box pops up and you're quickly connected with one of their guides. Who are the guides? It doesn't […]
