Boston Zinefair

March 19th, 2006 at 8:25 am » Comments (0)

I went to the Boston Zinefair yesterday and picked up many minicomics. I bought minicomics from Kitty, Sordid City Blues, Monadnock History, and Before Sleep.
This was my first time reading a large bunch of minicomics, and I enjoyed all the books I picked up.
I also had to pick up a zine from Jenna Friedman, who [...]



phantom magazine subscriptions?

March 13th, 2006 at 7:03 pm » Comments (8)

Has anyone had random magazines that they have not subscribed to show up at their house? I now have an April issue of Ladies’ Home Journal, but I have not subscribed to the magazine. Maybe someone is being mean and pulling a horrible prank on me to make sure I read tips about how to [...]



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

February 15th, 2006 at 9:42 pm » Comments (2)

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:

I can fit a [...]



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?

The RSSWeblog posted about protopage, a web site that can collect bookmarks, RSS feeds, links, and to do lists. Here’s my page, which doesn’t have a ton of content. The newsfeeds function does seem to be down right now.



web 2.0 link collection

December 2nd, 2005 at 12:24 am » Comments (0)

I’m still trying to grasp all this web 2.0 stuff. Here are some links I’ve collected:
Adaptive path: Ajax essay
What is Web 2.0 There’s a big concept map.
Web 2.What? (the last quote in the article by the creator of del.icio.us is great).
This map (pdf) features both a timeline and a concept map. It is also very [...]



google analytics

November 17th, 2005 at 9:49 pm » Comments (2)

I don’t want to contribute to google fatigue, but I’ve been trying out google analytics on this site. I get so much referrer spam, I think that the stats provided by my web host aren’t so easy to use. There’s also a bunch of spam in the stats that I get using a wordpress plugin. [...]

Yes, you can have some scissors.
Your class isn’t meeting in the library today. I know this, because your instructor e-mailed me yesterday, and I haven’t been able to schedule the class yet. Maybe in a couple weeks, you will be meeting in the library.
Scissors guy needs help blowing up an image on the copier.
My co-worker [...]
