If you're an English major, you might see some great and deep symbolism in the fact that we took Pace to the womb-like waters of a mineral spa almost exactly nine months to the day after he was born. Today is his nine-month birthday and it's almost unbelievable how quickly the time has flown – and I […]
TechCrunch recently had a story about a new study which found that lower-income people tend to prefer Yahoo! and higher-income people prefer Google. (Shea's reading over my shoulder and goes “That's funny – I didn't know anyone preferred Yahoo!”)Anyhow, that made me think about the “Everything You Wanted To Know About the Internet (But Were […]

For the most part, I've really enjoyed being on the road for the past month and a half (with one month still to go roughly). In fact, I'm thinking that if I don't find a position when this contract ends, I might just offer myself out as a “Internet & computer training consultant” to other […]

I posted an Obama video a few days ago which featured one of his speeches set to music by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas that was called “Yes, We Can”. Now, someone's done a parody featuring the very frightening words of John McCain… (via Reddit)
If you're an MLIS student or recent grad, I encourage you to enter this contest. (I can't tell you how much fame and fortune I've gained by being a runner-up last year! That does remind me – I better spend my CLA gift certificate for free swag before it expires!)— Dear Students: CLA is […]
