Update 2006-12-03: OK, got all the gunk scraped off the blog. Turns out that deleting 400 comments at a time was about as much as my system could handle; much more than that, and it would return an error.
For Movable Type 3.2 users, be aware that there is a “known issue” regarding the auto-deletion [...]

Several of the library bloggers I read (LiB, Caveat Lector, Walt at Random) have weighed in on the “Sci-Fi [and fantasy] book meme,” marking their reading history against a list of classic science fiction and fantasy titles. I’m not going to do that one here; I have read a fair amount of science fiction–and many [...]

The always-interesting blog fade theory pointed out the wonderful eye-candy site, Misprinted Type 3.0, by Eduardo Recife.

Some thoughts on the Colorado Association of Libraries conference.
I think that Emilie’s and my presentation, Keeping Current, went quite well. We were in a large, theatre-style room, and it was pretty much filled (I think that means around 150 people). Michael Sauers blogged it and took some photos. We got a few nice comments on [...]

Like Michael Sauers, I’m in Denver (or Aurora, actually) at the Colorado Association of Libraries 2006 Conference.
Today, I’m presenting with Emilie Satterwhite, young adult services librarian at Mesa County Libraries in Grand Junction, and sometime commenter on this very blog. Our presentation is entitled “Keeping Current with Technology: How popular trends in technology can (and [...]

I have mentioned before my weakness for over-prolific alpha geeks and librarians. There is at least one over-prolific alpha academic who inspires me, and that is Michael Bérubé. Bérubé was on the Colorado College campus today, and I was able to hear him speak to a faculty luncheon today on “Cultural studies in the Bush [...]
