(Thanks to Grandma Joanie for suggesting the song!)
This song's been going through my head a lot since Pace was born: And I'm broke, like a bad joke Somebody's uncle told at a wedding reception in 1972 Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed And his father laughed […]
Mike T. sent this along and I'm reprinting it with his permission (though technically, I only asked if I could reprint the list – I hope he doesn't mind me reprinting the whole e-mail.) Enjoy. I know that you probably won't believe me, but the first month is actually really easy compared to months 2-18. […]
(Thanks to Kerry M. for the timely tip that allows me to do a post relevant to both babies and libraries!)

I'd seen something like this once before for some other news event (Saddam's hanging?) and, as I suspected, someone has one again created a time lapse of how the Wikipedia article for the VT shootings developed over its first 12 hours. Kinda interesting watching the article grow/change/mutate in a very organic fashion. Actually, that makes […]
Today was my first “hump day” in a long time so I'm really sorry to do this to you but…Our catalouging prof, the newly minted Dr. E.
