the most tender place in my heart is for strangers

Most favourite song of all week and maybe even next week as well.
Neko Case’s - Hold On Hold On
The most tender place in my heart is for strangers
I know it’s unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous
Hangin’ round the ceiling half the time
Hangin’ round the ceiling half the time
Compared to some I’ve been […]

why we write

It seems normal that most people will sit back and experience some doubt about their actions, every once in a while. This definitely applies to blogging, and the act of making the private a little more public. Why do we write, what is the point if no-one reads, am I just being self-obsessed. etc.
I liked […]

i am the internet

I missed International Shut Down (Your Computer) Day on the 24th …
I came across some text books from when I studied Media Studies at ar em eye te a decade or so ago. The internet wasn’t popular then, I was still writing essays on an electric typewriter and I learnt how to edit videotape on […]

More links

Some for later reference:
1. Librarian Avengers 
2. Connecting Librarians 
3. Tame The Web 
4. Library Bytes
5. Joyce Valenza
6. Library Matters
and the somewhat seminal, from what I gather as a novice in this area, Librarian.net, whose author […]

The list part II

So a couple of months ago I posted a list of baby stuff, and it was long and scary and then I couldn’t breathe and I went and lay down.
But now the list is really small, and I think we have come a long way in a couple of months, and are on the cusp […]

Taking a leap of faith

This year, so far, has been about throwing cards into the air and seeing where they land.
I have met my first quarter sales projections for NEIS, which means I continue on the scheme for at least another six months, hopefully nine months (that would mean hitting the next quarter’s targets too which I should be […]

Night things

I got up before 6am this morning. I got stuff done.
