A Wandering Eyre

The lack of posting here is due to a bout of bronchitis the Wee Bairn contracted. He has been keeping my hands full of late. Full of his phlegmy sadness. Thankfully, he is on the mend and my time is again my own, off and on.
On Friday, I am moderating an Unconference session at [...]

This has been a very different and interesting conference for me due to Mr. R and the Wee Bairn being with me in Chicago. I am very happy to have them here. In fact, I am certain that I would have been miserable without them.
Having them here has meant that I act more my age. [...]

After two years of dreaming and wondering if ALA could pull it off, the ALA Unconference is tomorrow! Meredith and I worked hard on this project and it is something that we hope goes well and can be repeated in the future.
So much about the process of planning the Unconference has been wonderful. What [...]

In an effort to get ready for ALA, I turned on the Twitter widget that creates a post from my daily Tweets. Sadly, it went a bit haywire. I will try to fix it today, but there may be another strange post tomorrow.
The rumors are true. I am bringing Mr. Rochester and Baby Rochester aka [...]

Last night, we sent out the survey for the topics to be presented at the ALA Unconference and this morning there was a flurry of email in my inbox from people who can no longer make the Unconference. As a result, we have a very small waiting list.
As of now, there is only one person [...]

It is time to be the presentation topic you want to be.
Do you have a topic you want to discuss with others but can find no outlet? Have a new idea or project you want to share?
At ALA Annual 2009, I (along with my frequent partner in crime Meredith Farkas) am helping to plan [...]

I have been busy getting the Rochester household ready for our new addition and I have neglected to read the news from library land. I saw a few posts pop up about Swift when they first popped up, but I did not read them. I think maybe I should have because I would have seen [...]

The not so good bits being two things I did not see but heard a lot about about one thing for which I was present and accounted for.
Most of my complaints about ALA Midwinter are about things having to do with the division in which I spend most of my time: LITA. As we say [...]

This is the round-up post minus the soapbox elements. In this post, I write about the things I liked about my trip and the things that made me feel good about ALA. There were, of course, some not fabulous things about Midwinter, but I am putting those in their very own post. Just for you, [...]

On the heels of Meredith and Jason, I have to throw my hat in the ring.
Jason describes a conversation we had at Internet Librarian in which we hatched the most brilliant of all schemes ever. Well, we think so anyway.
Jason describes very well the meat of our plan: ALA should offer a virtual conference at [...]
