Good Sunday

I had a good day today, and it is even better knowing that I don’t have to go to work tomorrow! I went downtown and took advantage of Borders’ buy 3 get one free manga sale (bought 2 volumes of Boys Over Flowers, MeruPuri 4, and Sayuki Reload 1). I then found 3 summer sweaters [...]

library science journals that offer RSS feeds? help!

I’m teaching a workshop soon at my library about using news feeds to help with professional development, and I’m trying to see if someone has put together a master list of the library and information science journals that offer tables of contents as RSS feeds.

The Wonder of Pantyhose

I also had to pick up a zine from Jenna [...]

Google Web Page Creator

I wonder about this new Google Page Creator I read about over at Search Engine Watch. It might be a good option for libraries doing basic technology training. At first glance it seems really easy to use, with a selection of templates for people to choose from.

great bag quest partially fulfilled

I always seem to be on the lookout for a bag that I like. I don’t really like purses, because I need to carry around a bunch of stuff like a large book, a notepad, and a bunch of lipstick I never wear. So I was happy when I found this bag:

Kiwi Theme

I’m experimenting with the Kiwi Theme, what do you think? I sort of like it although it may be a bit much, and it looks more like a CMS template for a web site than a blog.

gmail spam recipe

I’m not sure why gmail is starting to display little links above my e-mail, but wasn’t it nice of them to offer a recipe for spam as I was emptying out my spam folder?
