The Associated Press carries an article showing how librarians are challenging the traditional librarian stereotype.
As Jessamyn points out, she’s included in the article. I wonder if blogging the Democratic National Convention counts as breaking the stereotype.
(Sing that title to whichever tune you’d like.)
Today, October 6, 2005, marks the 50th anniversary of the first reading of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl, a poem important to American culture, so I have to post about it today. I first heard it at a summer camp for artists when I was in high school. I was […]
Ok, well, that’s a very unfunny title to use to point to something on gapingvoid. I’m going to mull what Hugh writes. It stikes me as being very important and something those interested in blogging should ponder, but I can’t figure out what I want to say about it to relate it to librarians and […]

Something’s going on with my Yahoo! mail, though, and I haven’t been receiving e-mail in a timely fashion. I can’t tell what exactly is happening, but several times […]
I stayed up late last night to finish Fallen Angels, one of the books I borrowed for Banned Books Week. “Wow!” was about the only thing I could think. The ending almost got me. Earlier in the book, when the guys went into combat, I would think, “Well, Perry can’t die ’cause he’s the narrator […]
