Unfortunately, a lot of the Top 10 dying industries have a direct connection to libraries whether it’s DVD’s, newspapers or recordable media. On the other hand, a lot of the Top 10 booming industries don’t – unless libraries want to start building solar panels or hot sauces (!).
These are two pretty amazing videos – a father takes a brief video of his daughter every week for twelve years (and separately, his son for nine years) then splices them together into a short time lapse video. I wish I had the dedication to do something like this with Pace – but once every […]
Like I suspect is the case for a lot of people who came of age in the 1980’s, I would spend hours making mix tapes when I was young – tapes featuring different artists, different themes, different moods. At the time, mix tapes were created by dubbing favourite songs from your own small cassette collection, borrowing […]
My old blog, which I started while I was library school sometime in mid-2006 and ran up until about a year ago at blog.headtale.com is no more.

Human-like Robots Always On, Free Internet Wherever You Are Or Wherever You Go Wearable Computers / Wearable Computers / Wearable Computers Driverless Cars and Increasingly Accessible Space Flight Renewable Energy Replacing Conventional Energy (how about Space-based Solar for something that’s really futuristic?) The best thing is that all of these things are very real and increasingly accessible to […]
It’s funny how we sometimes get locked into one mode of thinking, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. For example, when we were first planning our Hawaii trip, I decided that the best option for taking photos was to use my iPhone. At the time, I thought I could purchase some […]
Back from a couple days in Minot, ND and some random thoughts about my use/mis-use of technology while there… – first thing I did upon hitting our hotel room was load up Pandora. Or at least I tried to – both the iPhone and iPad apparently still recognized I had a Canadian iTunes account and […]
A BBQ restaurant with a Space Alien theme AND video arcade? Definitely my favorite place in Minot!
A very cool announcement from Google about an experimental, augmented reality wearable computer (translation: futuristic eyeglasses) that could crush Apple’s iPhone dominance if it takes off.
