Welcome to Earth, Ella! Congratulations TJP & BZ!! She’s beautiful.
And now that’s over. I turned in my comprehensive exam this morning and life can get back on track. What’d I miss?
Things will be a little slow around here this week as I work on my comprehensive exam for Library and Information Science. I got my question at noon today, and over the course of the next week I will research the topic and write a research paper. Thus I will demonstrate my ability to thoroughly [...]
The Florida Media Co-op is a grassroots (or entrepreneurial if you prefer) effort to coordinate advertising on local blogs around Florida.
If you want to advertise on some Florida blogs, FMC provides a quick, one-stop-shopping sort of place so you don’t have to deal with each blog proprietor individually.
If you want to try to generate [...]
New year’s day isn’t any fun without resolutions, so here are a few resolutions for this blog.
1. Bigger pictures! When I changed the template I made sure to include plenty of space for larger images and video embeds.
2. Fewer political posts. I think I’m going to constrain my comments on politics to one day [...]
I hope everyone has/had a happy safe New Year’s Eve & I’ll see you all in 2010!

Finally got the page redesigned. Let me know what you think!
(There are still a few glitches and a few tweaks to make. There seems to be a problem with updating titles. The Vic Chesnutt post below is supposed to read 1964-2009, but the title refuses to be revised. Ah, fixed it.)
I’ve started building a new template and should be rolling it out sometime in the next two weeks. This means – comments will work again! It’s a Christmas miracle! Or, at least it will be once I get all the kinks and bugs worked out.
This would be moving much faster, but it seems like every [...]
Yay! The semester is over and the new one doesn’t start until Jan. 11. Between now and then I have my regular work to do, and I’ll see what I can get done on this blog. It’s time to scrap the whole theme and design a new one for the new year.
This means comments are [...]
Here’s an example of the sort of thing that keeps me busy.
A Few Social Networking Tools Not to Miss for Business Information:
Social Networking for Business Librarians
“Some questions stump even the savviest business reference librarians. Here are a few free social networking resources to help answer those questions. The key distinction between online social networks and [...]
Hmmm, it seems like every Wordpress update breaks my comments. It’s probably time to scrap this whole template for something fresh and less rickety, but who has the time!?
Class all day Friday and Saturday, assignments (including a real-work-as-opposed-to-school-work deadline) due Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. And then the push begins to finish 5 projects due the first week of December.
If I weren’t doing so much work and school, I’d be writing more about hyper-polarization and how communities can search for common ground, [...]
A few days ago my to-do list hit TWENTY items, but by the end of the weekend I should be down to ten. In the meantime, here’s a brief interview with Jimmy Wales.
What is your greatest hope for the next 10 years?
That we will, on the internet, continue to forge a new cultural dialogue of [...]
My to-do list continues to hover around 15 items. Yesterday I struck three things off the list, but added three new things. It’s been like that for a few weeks now, and peering into the future reveals no respite. All of this adds up to a slow time for blogging.
But, before I return to my [...]
It’s a cold!
And it lingers, and it makes everything seem like no fun. Even writing snarky blog posts and browsing the Internets for weirdness and fun.
(So that the title is not completely disappointing, here’s a chart so you can tell if what YOU’RE coming down with is a cold or a flu.)
Classes all day today, and all day tomorrow, which means no Internet fun for me.
Neglecting my work over the holiday weekend makes for a lot of catching up to do. The Internet will have to wait while I plow through a few hundred pages of dull textbook.
if i did this correctly then this post should appear in r/ct’s new twitter feed.

Blogging and other Internet goodness has been interrupted the last few days by crummy service. This too shall pass.
Last week I took off on a jetplane to visit the exotic foreign country of Canada. I’ve spent the last few days in Toronto. The trip was a rich mixture of the good and the bad. The bad is waiting in line after line, stunned at seeming airline incompetence and confusion. I got blisters on [...]
I’m not sure why, but I’ve been touched with a spell of the blues. I have a million things to do, but the thought of turning my hand to any new task fills me with weariness.
To help me through the day I’ve turned to the inestimable Eddie Cochran.
Eddie Cochran died in a car wreck [...]
I think I fixed the comments.
Still no comments. Long, tedious afternoon of trial and fail. I’m starting to believe it was Wordpress’s upgrade to 2.8. It looks like comment function ended right after I upgraded. I tested out some new themes, but they also seem to be suffering from some sort of 2.8 bug. Perhaps there will be a patch [...]
OK. I decided to pull the trigger and simply switch themes without all the tweaking and testing I should do before changing the look of the page. Oh, well. Here it is. I’ll gussy it up over the next few days, but I decided I didn’t want to spend a lot of time with this, [...]
Ugh, I’ve spent most of the afternoon futzing around with my templates and php and whatnot and still haven’t fixed the comments. I always imagined I’d do a re-design in July/August, and it’s starting to look more likely.
The comments function seems to be broken. I suppose this is as good a time as any to do some blog maintenance. If everything’s looking all sideways and distorted…, well, with any luck it will be back to normal by tomorrow.
Good morning. I hope everyone celebrated the hell out of their independence. The extra-busyness has subsided into normal busyness, which means I can finally get back to the joys of blogging.
At some point in the last month or so this blog turned one year old. It’s hard to locate the exact birthday because the first [...]
The extra-busy-ness has come to an end and now it’s time to catch up on neglected chores, get some rest, and celebrate my independence.
Look for fresh bloggy goodness Monday, July 6.
I hope everyone has an awesome and sensational July 4th weekend. Independence, yayyyy!
No time for Internet goodness. It looks like my busy-ness will continue for at least the rest of the week.

Comment/Link Problem – UPDATED
If you come to a story from an RSS feed, or if you click on a post title to comment, the cursor will no longer recognize links in the post or allow copying of text within the post.
The nice folks at IntenseDebate (the commenting plugin I use) are looking into this glitch.
Links work fine from [...]
