In 2007 I spent around a month on three different excursions to Michigan. This picture is of my Mother and her insane dog on a short trip we made to the Lake Michigan shore on September 12th of 2007.

Twitter
Up until today the coolest thing about Twitter was Warren Ellis and his ability to create new ways to swear in English. Today I was introduced to the Hot Amish Chick. Funny stuff.

Google and Libraries
Found a nice article in the New York Review of books about Google and libraries. The future of libraries, like most institutions and businesses, is an unknown. I guess the future has always been an unknown but 25 years ago people weren't seriously discussing the possibility of a world without physical libraries. It's both frightening and exciting to be living in the future.

John Updike
As a librarian I feel it is my duty to say something in regards to the death of the great American writer, John Updike. It was two years ago that I read my first Updike book. I read the first book that featured his famous character, Rabbit. The novel is called Rabbit Run. I found his writing to be good almost beyond compare. It is so good that more than once I stopped reading and took a second to appreciate the genius of the writing. Like Steinbeck, not only is his skill at a level few of us ever approach, it is also accessible. Great writing doesn't have to be difficult, just great.
On CNN they said it looked like ants
You can see that famous satellite photo of the inauguration here.

The Lazy Blogger
What does one do if he doesn't feel like writing a long entry in his blog but he would like to put some content up? Usually I link to a news story that pisses me off or embed a Daily Show or Colbert Report clip. Today I'll try something different and utilize my massive Flickr archive. How about my long hair and beard from January 2005? I think it should be obvious why that is the last time I tried to grow a beard.

I Love Goblin Cock
OK, I've only heard about four songs so far (one of them is a cover of the Porpoise Song by the Monkees!) but I've heard enough to say I love Goblin Cock. Watch the video below and I believe you may realize that you love Goblin Cock also. Goblin Cock!

Bloggies.
Looking for new blogs to look at? Every year we get the Bloggies. It's like the Oscars for blogs. I usually don't vote because I haven't heard of half the blogs they list but it is a good place to find new blogs.
