Reddit has long released some unique site or game or feature, often tied to group psychology, on April Fool’s Day. This year was no exception as they released “Second” which is a seemingly simple game where you vote for one of three pictures (maybe three different popular video games or celebrities or products or even, […]
I’m not 100% sure but I think this is a picture of the box when I bought my last laptop, a MacBook Pro, sometime in 2012? I’ve had a few maintenance things over the years – I think I replaced the hard drive, added memory going from 4 to 8GB, bought a new power […]
Shea and I often talk about how strange it is that librarians are one of the few professions where practitioners actively visit local examples of their workplace in other communities when traveling (she doesn’t have a strong desire to visit hospitals in other places when on a holiday – that’s for sure!).
