Ask TangognaT: Library Technology Plans

March 17th, 2005 at 9:03 am » Comments (1)

So far, my nefarious plan to get my blog readers to feed me ideas for things to write about is working because if left on my own today I might have just ranted about Warren Worthington III having a sex change for the X-men 3 movie or how inane it is that people think it [...]

I like the idea of the “Ask Tangognat” feature, but you’ve only put one up so far. Are people not asking you questions, or are you so buried under a deluge of queries from people seeking your wisdom that you are unable to keep up? Or is everyone shy and asking you [...]
