Shamelessly cobbled together from several sources (such as LITA’s blog policy and the canonical St. Petersburg College Library Blog Policy), here’s a generic draft blog guideline. Alane, per your earlier comment, I wasn’t sure how or whether to wedge in a statement about not talking about confidential projects, which would be on the lines of [...]

5 things you don’t know about me
December 27th, 2006 · 4 Comments
Michael Golrick tagged me for this meme, which brings me to #1:
1. I’m just insecure and needy enough to have been wondering if I needed to write a friend and say, “hey, tag me.” Talk about feeling like the blogging wallflower.
2. I’m gay… oh, wait, you know that. You might not know that one [...]

I’m a bit stiff because I spent the night twisted pretzel-like around our cranky old tabby cat, who at six pounds wields strange force. But before I stand under the shower for fifteen minutes to unbend my back, I just gotta talk library blogging policy.

Dude, what’s the ROI?
December 19th, 2006 · 7 Comments
I was reminded today by a little bird that I have been badly neglecting FRL, what with my hoity-toity big job and all. But today on the way back from a meeting with the folks at our statewide-automation-system-what-runs-our-catalog, I thought to myself, “Self, I have a post that I can’t do over at my hoity-toity [...]

Ok, tomorrow is the annual holiday open house, which means I am having my annual nervous breakdown. I have to bake two more pans of cookies, rustle up a ham (or as I disrespectfully refer to it, the Ham of God), clean the house (which means, in part, scooping piles of stuff into my office [...]

Chocolate Pecan Pie
December 8th, 2006 · 7 Comments
On an earlier post, Mark asked for a recipe for chocolate pecan pie. Here it is:
Take your favorite pecan pie recipe, melt two ounces of unsweetened chocolate, and stir in before you add the pecans.
The Joy of Cooking had this as a variation on its pie in the last (1997) edition, but they fiddled with [...]

Alice in Academia

That was followed by driving in circles [...]
