I’ve heard the same comment five or six times at the Starbucks on Pacific Street in Santa Cruz, each time from a different barrista.
“Five bucks? That’s a lot for a newspaper!”
Today, instead of smiling weakly and obediently proceeding to the dark corner near the bathroom where we wait for our caffeine, I replied, “Three dollars [...]
John Berry of Library Journal recently wrote, “I am troubled when I read all the whining about flaming and ‘inappropriate’ comments on the various discussion lists to which I subscribe.” He encouraged librarians to let it all hang out, and scolded lists where informal rules of conduct preside.
I was reminded of his words this week, [...]
Little did I know that based on my last post, people were watching this blog waiting for an Announcement regarding, well, me. I’m not going anywhere; I’ve got way too much going on right now at My Place Of Work (MPOW). If I tried to leave, my board would hunt me down and bring me [...]
At my work place, we have a lot of change afoot. (One of you had once commented that I should link to “my work place” from my entries, and I think I’ll go back to NOT doing that, thanks very much.) Contracts fluttering left and right, deep discussions with programmers and other gurus, workplans, [...]
Not much to blog, since I’ve been plowing through work and resting up with good books late at night. I’m alternating between Fenton Johnson’s Geography of the Heart and Frederick Taylor’s Dresden : Tuesday, February 13, 1945. I had read Johnson’s book years ago, and was pleased to see it on [...]

I’ve updated the Patriot Act presentation to clarify one point, add Mary Minow’s CLA article on the Patriot Act to the publication timeline, and provide a presentation-friendly background. The talk (held at UCSD) was a lot of fun–shared the podium with Judith Krug and an ACLU rep.
What’s this I hear about Tony Randall [...]
Thanks to Liz Lawley’s MamaMusings, I caught that Mena at Six Apart is looking for people to tell them how they use Movable Type; see http://www.sixapart.com/log/2004/05/how_are_you_usi.shtml
I just counted, and I have 9 blogs, but only five are really active. I use one blog to host my main site, Blue Highways. [...]
(Note: updated with slightly modified version.) I’m giving a talk about the Patriot Act, and I’m uploading this Powerpoint so I have a place for it in case my flash drive falls out of my pocket on the way to San Diego. This is California-oriented, but if you find it useful, just drop me [...]
What was I thinking? My G-mail address is bluehighways at gmail.com(not highways@gmail.com). Oy!
