A Wandering Eyre

Some days, I think the only things that remind me that I am, deep down, a nice person are a good cup of coffee and God. I came to the conclusion yesterday, and admitted it to the world on Twitter, that though I do not want to be, I am a morning person. I know; [...]

Mr. Rochester wrote a post on our family blog about his plans on funding his retirement. The previous post on this blog was my take on our conversation. His is a bit different. While he gets almost everything wrong but the “conferences” part about my book, the rest of his post is very amusing (says [...]

In light of NASA’s trouble with the Constellation Project and a possible end to his employment, Mr. Rochester informed me yesterday that he has a new plan for our financial future. Of course, this plan involves my labor and ideas, but who’s counting?
He informed me that I should be able to write something better than [...]

It seems like often when I am talking to my friend, Jason Griffey, we end up talking about the print format and how it is going to die. Notice I did not say if. I think we always circle back to this because usually one or both of us are in the middle of some [...]

The vision behind Fish4Info was a desire to create a positive library experience. I wanted to change the typical library catalog which is often used as a pass through to information into a destination where [...]

I wrote the first 2008 issue of Library Technology Reports on how technology has changed the way we do business, in libraries and outside of them. It includes case studies, tool reviews, and best practices for organizations, team leaders, and team members. Here is the blurb from the ALA TechSource site:

Until September 10th, I will be furiously working on finishing a writing project and getting ready to speak at Harris County Public Library. Except for Twitter updates, this space may be quiet. Just a warning that you can look elsewhere for your insights and snark for a couple weeks.
