My dream of doing an entry every day for a month is shot but anyhow, here's an update for yesterday… Up early yesterday for the first-timer's breakfast and did I make my joke about trying to eat $18 worth of bacon and eggs in the last entry? If not, consider it made (I was unsuccessful […]
I meant to post yesterday but the fact that we're staying at a residence. On campus. In the year 2006. And it still doesn't have ANY Internet connection fuddled those plans. So I'm probably going to change the date stamp on this entry so it counts as yesterday. And then my next blog post will […]
Turn around twice and after two days in Toronto, I'm off to Ottawa for the Canadian Library Association conference. I'm taking my laptop but not sure what the Internet situation will be like where we're staying so new blog posts may be sporadic until next week. The timing couldn't have been better – the one […]
Back from a couple days at Book Expo Canada in Toronto and here are some random thoughts… – if you've never been, how the Book Expo trade show works is basically you walk around a huge trade show (200+ exhibitors?) and all the publishers and other writing organizations have booths promoting their books, authors and […]
I'm off to Book Expo Canada on Sunday and Monday. I went once before in 1999 or 2000 and it was a blast – Jack Stoddart marched an elephant through the trade show area as a publicity stunt, I got my photo with what was, at the time, the world's largest book, I got a […]

1. Time ManagementOne of my professors told me this in my first week and I've heard it repeatedly since – the biggest secret to succeeding in library school is to manage your time wisely. Being a compressed program makes this especially difficult as do the number of assignments we have – not all are intensive […]
Business Ethics magazine has released their list of 2006’s Top 100 Corporate Citizens. I’m not an expert in who’s good and who’s not so good but found a couple names on the list that were a bit surprising to me. (via Kottke) It’s also interesting to compare this list to Fortune’s recently released list of […]
For anyone who doesn't know how they're getting to the CLA conference in Ottawa next week, Shea did some research tonight and found that we can rent a mid-sized car (something like a Grand Am) for $256 with unlimited km that would fit 4 comfortably. We could also rent a 7-passenger van for $342 which […]
