She said so herself on the radio today. She also talks to some guy named Sam Klein, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, and Clay Shirky to provide a brief glance of Wikipedia and a mention of Wikinews.
Addendum 2/22: The ResourceShelf, initiated by Gary Price, another Wikipedius (or whatever you call someone who has an entry in [...]
Linda Henderson of The Providence Journal announced the 2005 Special Libraries Association News Division award winers today. They will be honored at the awards banquet during the SLA 2005 Annual Conference.
Congratulations to Richard Geiger of the San Fracisco Chronicle, Ron Larson of Capital Newspapers, Alice Pepper of the Detroit Free Press, and Kathleen Hansen of [...]
The tech guru upgraded my work e-mail client. The first thing I noticed were clusters of peppers near some of the subject lines. It seems that the software looks for certain potentially offensive words and uses the peppers to indicate messages with questionable language.

It seems like I was explaining to someone the challenges of clearing copyright for orphaned works not too long ago. According to Sabrina on beSpacific, the Copyright Office hopes people will comment to them about it.
Addendum: A geeky reader observed that orphaned copyright works are very similar to abandonware in the computer industry.
I’m hoping readers [...]
Thank you, Tangognat, for reminding me what a friend reminded me about earlier that I totally forgot: I don’t mind if people knit during my portion of the blogging course at SLA in June, well at least the first part. When we get to the hands-on blogging part, I might be offended by someone who’d [...]
