Even though it’s my day off work today, I logged into OPAL to participate in Brenda Hough‘s and Michael Porter‘s “Top-Notch Technology Training for Patrons” presentation. I got some great ideas for technology training classes to have at MPOW and how to do those classes. Erica Reynolds made a great comment about library staff getting [...]
When I was a l’il shaver, I wanted to be a cartoonist. At first, I wanted to do superhero comics, but at some point I became obsessed with newspapers strips. I moved back to comic books (before losing interest in trying to improve my art and giving up on the whole “artist” idea) and slowly [...]
My eyes shot open at a quarter to 5 this morning and they haven’t closed yet. I’ve been cruising through the day on coffee and sugar and adrenaline. So, if you’re looking for calm, well-reasoned, linear blog posting, look elsewhere, Pocahontas. This ain’t it. So, NEKLS Tech Day. NEKLS Tech Day was an absolute blast-and-a-half! [...]
If this is a somewhat rambling post, I apologize. I’m a bit discombobulated and I’m fighting back tears as I type this.

Thanks to Michael watching [...]
It took a minute or two to sink in. I was just sitting there, smiling and nodding my head, when the facts finally cracked through my thick skull and penetrated my brain. I went from “New Guy Helping My Web Committee Cohort Explain to the Library Director Our Idea for a Wiki on Our Website” [...]
Overall, I had a good library school experience. You know me, I’m not one to complain. But reading Meredith Farkas’ blog post about LIS education and training has got me thinking. Thinking, of course, leads to blogging. So, here we go. In both my core courses and my electives, here’s some of what I learned [...]
Check out the job description for this position at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library. Wow! I’m tempted to apply for that job. I mean, Topeka’s not that far of a move. And the pay is much better than what I make right now. And the job sounds right up my alley. I’m sure [...]
What was the first library-related blog I read? The Shifted Librarian. Who first got me hip to RSS feeds? Jenny Levine. Who first showed me the fun of a public Bloglines blogroll? Jenny Levine. Who got some of my coworkers all fired up about blogs and wikis and RSS at last years NEKLS Tech Day? [...]
