I love that I get to work with people who think great thoughts and want to put them into action. (That would be the blogger, not Sir Ken Robinson. Sir Ken’s speech is great, too, and I encourage everyone to watch it, but I don’t work with him.)
I haven’t done a formal count or anything, but my gut tells me (sotto voce) I posted more about the fun things I did on the job at my former place of employment than I post about the place I currently hang my derby. I’m not interested in posting all the gorey details of my [...]

Now, I understand that there are certain expectations for its design and layout, both from our users and [...]
The short answer is: I had a very good day. Today was my first day as a Web Content Developer at the Johnson County Library. Everyone on the Web Content team–and everyone else I met at the Central Library–was extremely friendly and welcoming. My coworkers took me out to lunch, got me set up at [...]
Q: Josh, why are you excited to start your new job? A: Because, this is the kind of atmosphere I’ll be working in. How could I not be excited?
A couple of days ago, Tim Spalding linked to an announcement that Simon Spero has released a nearly-complete copy of the Library of Congress Authority Files.
