Public Service Announcement

I was a bit intrigued by a certain referrer in my log file who has been drifting at the bottom for the past week+ but suddenly shot up into the top 5 yesterday. The link ostensibly goes to http://tvsetmp3.com/ but gets redirected to http://ismymovies.com/. The page is constructed to look like it throws a system…

Charles Christopher FTW

A fellow denizen of the network cube farm hipped me to this online comic. It starts here for the moment. At turns silly and beautiful and poetic, it’s a delight to read. I hoovered up everything in the space of a few moments this morning. It now sits in my collection of RSS feeds. Simply…

Bad Day

I know it’s probably landed in you inbox once or twice already but Elz forwarded this one to me today. Particularly prescient given what’s been going on at work since I walked in the door this morning. Sometimes a plugin upgrade isn’t really a great idea. Then again, you never know until you test it…

The Code4Lib Journal

The code4lib folks have launched their e-journal! I first heard about this project, and the group itself for that matter, at ASIS&T’s 2007 Annual Meeting. Although the whole conference was beyond excellent, code4lib was one of the top five highlights for me. Enough of my blather though, here’s the link: The Code4Lib Journal I found…

Metafilter Does Economics

MeFi does some things poorly. It does other topics quite well. This he-said she-said over the possible US economic collapse is insightful even if the FPP contains some dubious linkage.
