It’s a combination introduction to poetry and history of the English language class, and it’s wonderful, and I expect I’ll tell more later. But for today, limericks. The class had me going [...]

At the core of Agrippa is a long poem by science fiction author, William Gibson. The poem appeared only as a computer program on a floppy disk. When run, the program would display [...]

So in my previous posts about Sergio Rivera-Ayala and the odd emails and blog comments that Iris Jastram received (see Shady emails and comments about Sergio Rivera-Ayala’s new book, El discurso colonial en textos novohispanos: espacio, cuerpo y poder and Email from Sergio Rivera-Ayala about the spam and blog comments promoting his book) I held [...]

Check out David Lee King and Michael Porter’s fun video, “Hi-Fi Sci-Fi Libraries.” Is it off-putting to have the same librarians’ faces (including mine) appearing time and again in photos and videos?

"Statshot" from the Onion’s first post-9/11 issue I had no intention to write about today’s anniversary of the September 11 attacks, but Michael Sauers’ link to onegoodmove’s posting of the first post-9/11 Daily Show reminded me what a relief that show was to watch at the time.

Welcome to CC, class of [...]

Casey Bisson at IUG 2006 in Denver I had the pleasure of hearing Casey Bisson present on his Web 2.0 OPAC, the WordPress-powered front end he put on his III catalog. His talk rehearsed a lot of what are coming to be articles of faith in the biblioblogosphere (the need to dis-integrate the catalog, the [...]
