On a whim, I copied and pasted my last blog entry into Google Translate, translated it into Latin, then translated it back into English. This is what I ended up with. I find it amusing and oddly pretty. We woke up from a long, wonderful dream I want to write. Morrow was here, late 19th [...]
I’ve posted this story online before, but never on this blog. So for posterity’s sake (if nothing else), I’ll post this now. Are you ready? Read on for the story of… My Night as a Male Stripper! When I was an undergrad at the University of Iowa, my friend James lived with two friends in [...]
The other day, on a whim, I tweeted and posted to Facebook, “If I were a superhero, what would my name be? Best name gets a prize of some sort. GO!” I liked a lot of the suggestions my friends threw out to me, but there was on that was a clear winner. It spawned [...]

I heart Shelf Check!
Jennifer Graham and I were talking about Web 2.0 and how neither of us really understands what the “Semantic Web” that is supposedly Web 3.0 could be. I mean, I went to college, I was an English major, I’m not a complete idiot…but no explanation of the “Semantic Web” has given me much of an [...]
I think this is my very favorite Unshelved of all time. It is so very full of win.
It is a terrific bit of synchronicity that the same week MPOW has it’s big web launch, Unshelved features an hilarious storyline about redesigning the library website. I loved the entire week’s worth of strips.
