Like many bloggers, I have a text file full of half-finished (half-assed?) blog posts which are, as Dan Traister says about his in-process papers, “in various stages of drafty undress.”

Recently I read Andrea Mercado, of Library Techtonics fame, calling her backlog “The Long Queue.” I like that, and will henceforth call my backlog The Long Queue as well.

To compensate Andrea for appropriating her phrase, I have made a small donation for her upcoming trip to China. Emphasis on the word “small”; let’s hope there is a favorable exchange rate.

If you, dear reader, would like to help send a librarian to China and have more funds at your disposal than I, you can read about her plan here and send her some yuan via PayPal here.
