ZoomClouds url

SuprGlu to the rescue! This website's made integrating multiple RSS feeds a breeze (plus, the layouts they give you for your page are pretty nice looking too). Here's the url to my ZoomClouds cloud including del.icio.us, Connotea and Heteroglossia feeds all neatly wrapped into one nice basket of goodness.

Dance Dance Revolution - In the Library?

That's right, you heard me. Dance Dance Revolution, along with many other un-library like activities (like jazz sessions and coffee bars), is invading libraries at an alarming rate. The Charlotte Observer brings us the story complete with photos of patrons playing Guitar Hero at the Main Library in the Charlotte Area public library system.

Along with the news that an Arizona library has chosen to axe Dewey, this doesn't seem to be a surprise in our emerging culture of comfortable-ness. Anything to make it easier on our kids and adults. Maybe they'll start teaching third graders how to hold a Wiimote to get a better toss on Bowling than worry about multiplication tables or perfecting that awful cursive writing. Soon, writing won't even matter. But I digress. For now.

Custom Search Engine URL

Here it is.

On a totally unrelated note, I've been enjoying my iGoogle homepage. When you choose a theme, it changes "mood" according to the time of day where you are located. Right now the sun's high in the sky in the background.

Let's see if this works...

Goodbye, Computer

Well, the day has finally arrived. Five years and I've finally put my beloved laptop to rest. It's odd how one day your life's there and the next it's gone. Fortunately, I'm able to mooch off of our laptop pool at work... but the hunt begins for some kind of replacement. I'm leaning towards Dell because I can get a discount, but the MacBook is looking so nice... Argh for compatibility issues and my Mac-awkwardness. Maybe someday. On to re-tagging all 50 Zotero links...

Smoke and Mirrors

Well, there might as well be smoke coming from my computer. I think it's dead. Thank goodness for roommates. This, however, causes just a SLIGHT problem as my entire program takes place online. Goodbye all my Firefox settings, bookmarks, etc. At least a lot of what we're working on like del.icio.us and blogger and koha is web-based, so that isn't all lost. Bleh.
