Tim Berners Lee ( yeah, the Web inventor) has a blog now. Shouldn’t the Web go into a feedback loop now and implode or something?
Library Stories of 2005
Ok, so I’ve fallen off the LIS blogging bandwagon the last little bit…. To make up for it here are the top library related stories of 2005 from LISNews.
Finally something del.ico.us
Finally something that will make me remember that I have a del.ico.us account, a Firefox extension. I’ve used it several times today, comes in handy for those things you don’t want to clutter up your Firefox bookmarks with.
Librarian Trading Cards
I created my own trading card to add to the Librarian Trading Cards on Flickr. I tried to use this Trading Card Maker , but it didn’t work quite right and I had to edit the picture a bit.

Which Tarot card are you?
Via Wanderings of a Student Librarian
You are the the Hierophant card. The Hierophant, called The Pope in some decks, is the preserver of cultural traditions. After entering The Emperor’s society, The Hierophant teaches us its wisdom. The Hierophant learns and teaches our cultural traditions. The discoveries our ancestors have made influence the present.
Without forces such as The Hierophant who are able to interpret and communicate traditional lore, each generation would have to begin to learn anew. As a force that is concentrated on our past and our culture, The Hierophant can sometimes be stubborn and set in his ways. This is a negative trait he shares with his zodiac sign, Taurus. But like Taurus he is productive.
His traditional lore can provide a source of inspiration for the creatively inclined, and his knowledge provides an excellent foundation for those who come into their own in the business world. Image from: Morgan E. Cauthers-Knox.

A random meme
I usually don’t do the meme thing but this seems kind of fun. (Also the rules said I had to post it on my site, can’t go against the rules) 🙂 This meme travelled my way from Raaen Sioro Donethal. What does that mean anyway?
1. Reply with your name
(if I know you well enough to answer all the meme’s questions)
and I’ll respond with something random about you.
2. I’ll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I’ll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I’ll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I’ll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I’ll ask you something that I’ve always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this meme on your blog. You MUST.
So let it be written, so let it be done.:-)
