Working on getting the correct "break" Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. Oh, the bargains this weekend… it was Petite Suit Heaven! A lovely harbinger of my new job. I am looking forward to the new MPOW… I start tomorrow, sort of, in a soft launch so I can be there for Very Important Activities. Still, when […]
Over on Jay Allen’s blog I’ve posted a comment about Movable Type that sums up where I am with this blogging software. Generally, break-up notes for a blogging product have this form: blogger attempts to upgrade product; blogger has trouble upgrading; blogger moves to another product and posts frustrated good-bye notice detailing everything that went […]
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell A very short review of a very short book (testing Media Manager). $7.99 Bookmark to:
I am deep into an upgrade of Movable Type and related plugins. It looks good, but I’m getting funky results when I add or update entries (I have a separate installation–which SixApart said was unnecessary, but I’m now glad I did that), so after a thorough perusal of the documentation and various Googlings, I’ve sent […]

Food, touring, more food, more touring, green chili, red chili… we stuffed the suitcases with vittles from Jackelope and Trader Joe’s, and brought home some pretty earrings, as well. When we weren’t being tourists, we were […]

I spent quite a while browsing cookbooks and surfing the web before it flashed on me that the pfeffernusse recipe I had mentioned earlier on this blog was in a small bound book I briefly used for recording recipes in the […]
You Guys!!! Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. This was a delightful (and much-needed) good-bye gift from FPOW (Former Place of Work)–not just coffee and a mug, but a pound a month for a year of the best coffee in the world, Peet’s! Wendy, Pat, Maria, Jennifer, and Charlotte–I’ll miss you folks! I’d tell you to behave, […]
Thanks to Alane (she of the nifty blog It’s All Good), I have reoriented my presentation for this Thursday from a pile o’ gadgets to a series of concepts. Yes, I will talk gadgets, and naturally include practical advice and the usual good examples, but here’s my new approach (still building/adding to these concepts): What’s […]
CueCat arrives! Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. This is my brand-new CueCat barcode wand, which I bought from LibraryThing. I wanded in a handful of books, thoroughly enjoying myself. Part of the joy of LibraryThing is the communal nature of the experience. When I add a book to LibraryThing, I can immediately see who else in […]
