Today is my birthday.
I’ve gotten used to having a birthday the day before Christmas. In fact, I rather enjoy it. But one thing that’s always been something of a drag is how cut-off from my friends I generally feel. I’ve never had a birthday party with friends on my actual birthday. My family has always […]
In case anyone’s been wondering, work has been going very well. We’re just a couple of days away from our big website relaunch (and launch, in the case of the new children’s site). So, for the past few weeks, work has been particularly demanding of my attention, and as a result, I want to have […]
I’ve been liminally tagged by Rachel Singer Gordon, so here are eight random tidbits about yours truly:

I’m not unhappy at OPL. Far from it. But when the opportunity comes up to work with Erica Reynolds and her dynamic Web Content team, you’d better believe I’m going to take […]
The moral of the story is this: libraries and the internet, the flow of information and the nodes that seek to connect people with–and through–this information, are changing, and these changes are important and relevant and good.
Now, I seriously doubt anyone reading this blog disagrees with that. In fact, I’d go so far as to […]
As a small flurry of snow leaves a light dusting outside and we gear up for a quiet night at home waiting for 2007 to come sneaking in, I’m reflecting on the past year and what it’s meant for me, librarian-wise.
This year, I went to my first Legislative Day, when Kansas librarians meet with Kansas […]
Here’s one more thing people reading this blog may not know about me:
