Open Source Radio is a wide-ranging, engaging, and all-around terrific show (and not just because they’ve had me on a couple of times). They are in a major funding realignment (how well I know about those), and though they just got a donation that will keep them going through the summer, they aren’t out of [...]
This morning I created Twitterprose, a microblog for great lines from creative nonfiction, updated once every day.
Twitterprose owes its inspiration to Twitterlit, which has been seducing me for weeks with first lines to wonderful novels. I felt creative nonfiction needed some twitterlove and that I was the person meant to open her heart to this [...]
Getting Things Done has improved my management in one significant way, and for that I am truly grateful. For years I have been an email slob. Though I automatically file list discussions into sub-folders, my main folder for both personal and work mail has always been a tragedy of the email commons, with so many [...]
I’m pasting in Karen Coombs’ announcement of a Social Software Showcase at ALA Annual (already linked here and there on the Web), which is the epitome of all that is epitomizable, and in which (as I have not yet resolved that unable-to-be-in-two-places-at-once issue) I will participate in via a YouTube video which I have yet [...]
My pal Debi just posted her own “for rent” page on her site. She’s in the Chicago area, and is not only gifted with all those skills she describes — planning your company website, writing, editing, research, porting databases to the Web, even fiddling — but is a genuinely nice, patient person you’d enjoy working [...]
Kudos to Mary Jane Petrowski, Associate Director of ACRL, who in response to my May 29 post wrote today, “I’m painfully aware that we are contacting new members long after they join. … I’m going pursue a solution to this problem with my colleagues here at ALA.” She playfully added, “How hard can [...]
Here’s the rough outline of my schedule at the American Library Association 2007 annual conference (DC)… Marilyn, Michelle, Lori, and anyone else trying to vector with me, take a look at see what fits! Note that the social events (PUBLIB, LITA Happy Hour, OCLC Blog Salon GLBTRT) are great places to meet up.

Arrive mid-afternoon, [...]
I’ve had several emails/IMs today asking me if I’m the origin of the phrase “free as in free kittens” (with respect to open source software). Apparently it came up in a talk today and several people wanted to defend my honor (good luck with that).
The origin of the phrase is actually Eric Lease Morgan… I [...]
I’ve been tagged several times for this meme, but had to set it aside while I met some writing deadlines. I am amused by the misleading subject; after all, eight truly random things about anyone would either bore or horrify you (or likely, both). So my “random things” are really eight things I’d like [...]
By popular demand (um… all two of you), here’s the talk I gave at NASIG 2007, uploaded to slideshare.net so I could, you know, easily share it! Bon appetit.
