Me, going from my front door to my office. Exciting, huh? How do YOU get to work every day?

My library has a GL2, I had a project to do… so I played with it to learn how to use it.

Neat clouds rolling around in Topeka. I think they’re called mammatus clouds.

In Anaheim, CA looking for my hotel - the Hotel Menage.

Just saying hi to people who watched/listened to my webcast presentation on videos…

See the presentation and related materials here.

It’s the 4th of July, and time to light those silly black snakes.

My hotel was a good mile from the ALA2008 conference. One morning, I had to walk through a line of picketers outside Disneyland - it felt odd.

I visited the St. Louis Zoo a few months ago, and saw these cool penguins. Enjoy!

I am one of the presenters/conversation starters at BIGWIGs Social Software Showcase at the American Library Association’s annual conference (ALA2008). What is the Social Software Showcase, you ask? From the website: “The general idea for the BIGWIG Showcase is to highlight up-to-date technological innovations for libraries, while giving as broad an access as possible to the content and the presenters.”

Screencast Description: Engaging your librarys local community is NOT an easy task. Engaging your librarys local DIGITAL community is even harder. This presentation introduces the concept of the experience economy and mashes that up with digital community participation and engagement. Whats that get you? A headache! No, wait thats the wrong answer. It REALLY gets you Community Experience, aka the Conversation Economy.

Enjoy!

We visited Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts about a month ago, and ate “pilgrim food” from the cafe for lunch. Here’s what we ate!
