Shush This
The more press de-stereotyping the library profession, the better, I suppose. Today’s New York Times article, "A Hipper Crowd of Shushers” compliments the more middle of the road "The Modern Librarian: A Role Worth Checking […]
The Age of Love Handles
Lest you think I only criticize “fat dudes” while never offering positive alternatives, it’s only because I’m given little opportunity. Case in point, last night’s outrageous Entourage plotline (cause you know the show is completely […]
(Dilla)hunting & Stalking
