Fimoculous has been around for a few years, each year collecting more and more “Best of” year-end lists in a number of categories. The book section is the obvious one of interest but there are many others that will allow you to browse away the hours of your Christmas holidays.
Thought about posting a photo since I just got back from hockey and barely have the energy to do up a single-link, one line post, let alone write something original (although I thought about typing something about the unofficial “rules” of rec hockey since I've had a pretty good run lately – had a goalie jump me last week, had a guy challenge me to a fight tonight – and I'm not a dirty or lippy player by any stretch of the imagination – honest!)
But anyhow, as I clicked over to Shea's Flickr account to see what she's uploaded lately (I have a Flickr account too but hers is the main one we use), I thought it might be interesting to see what Shea's first ever Flickr upload was instead.
Turns out it's a photo that's somewhat appropriate since we're going through a deep cold stretch here of -40 weather and this shot from Niagara Falls seems to fit that mood. (Don't we look photoshopped in as well?)
“Consider the Lobster” is one of four (how'd that happen?) books I currently have on the go (the others – “Convergence Culture”, one about contrarian management principles which I can't remember the title of – probably “Contrarian Management”, and buzz book of the moment, “Twilight”.)
As someone in the comments points out, it's a great marketing strategy for a new book on library blogs – mention as many library-related blogs as possible in your book then list them in your index. Put a sample of that index online making it likely that people will find out about your book and have their curiosity piqued.
Click anywhere on this piece of art then see where everyone else who's ever visited the site has clicked. (I clicked just to the upper left of the middle woman's eyes for the record.)
