I found the archive of posts from when I was actively blogging, so I decided to bring the site back, just because I can. I’ll probably do some editing and link cleanup as well. My guess is there is a lot of dead or useless content. Added on May 27, 2025: I never really got … Read more
And it’s taken me just over 3 full weeks to post anything. I find that most of my “what am I doing” type posts are now handled by Twitter. As far as LIS content goes, I’m not actively involved in LIS education anymore, I haven’t taught since 2005 or taken any classes since 2006. So … Read more
Ok, so blogging around here has been sparse lately, I’ve been a busy guy. In 2009 I’m planning to retool the site and get back into the swing of blogging. Now to your irregularly scheduled post. I’ve already voted (for Obama) before last night, so the Obama TV spot didn’t influence my vote. But I … Read more
Palin intrigues me. I’m amazed that she has risen so far so fast. Her speech at the RNC really resonated with a lot of people. Among them is my friend Chrissie. She had the honor (?) a few days ago of getting quoted in an article that was picked up by AP and now it’s … Read more

Well I didn’t get a librarian job, if you hadn’t gathered that from Twitter. They hired someone for the User Education Technologies job but the Digital Media Technologies job was called a failed search and they’ll re-advertise it in the future. Better luck next time I guess. On the brighter side my current position here … Read more
If you’ve looked at the recent posts here, you’d see that I’ve had issues with Comcast. I’m happy to report all is well. Setting up the Tivo again was a bit complicated, since this is the first time I’ve had a digital cable box. Having the Internet at home again is great, I was having … Read more
Update 11:53 a.m. Cable will be installed tomorrow. Line run in the morning, cable installed in the house between 3 and 5 p.m. 🙂 Update 11:14 a.m It looks like we’ll be getting cable tomorrow! 🙂 Stephanie got a call from Comcast last night. Apparently all the phone calls Monday and anger associated with those … Read more
Update: it’s in interesting tale, so feel free to read. Issues resolved, thanks Benny and Kirk and whoever else was involved for their quick work on this. Hopefully this situation won’t happen to anybody else. So Stephanie and I got our new house built and we finally moved in in April. Our new house is … Read more
Doug Raber, a friend and former advisor of mine at both Tennessee and Missouri, is leaving academia to be the public library director in Ferndale, Michigan. The local paper there has the story. Best of luck Doug, dress warmly. 🙂
