I am such a geek- June 28, 2008 Now that the ALA conference has begun, I thought I'd check if any of our competitors were offering free demos which I couldshould check out. Along the way, I got sidetracked by discovering backdoor access into a database of dissertation and theses. Since then, I've been racking up links to works I'd like to read, both of personal and professional interest. Sadly, many of the ideas I've thought would make good dissertations have apparently not been written, which means that if I want to learn...http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/journal/2008_06_22_j_archive.htm#4888262161087062423 Palmer and the Pops- June 27, 2008 Think they're having funhttp://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/journal/2008_06_22_j_archive.htm#7062554872060385036 I Can Has Fenway Franks- June 27, 2008 Been a while since I posted some of these:http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/journal/2008_06_22_j_archive.htm#7658598389800975897 Motoring milestone- June 25, 2008 Remember we bought a new car last AugustTonight, on my commute home, I watched the odometer roll over from 19,999 to 20,000. Mechanical dials made these events much more impressive than digital readout.http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/journal/2008_06_22_j_archive.htm#9181601433530862486 This seems rather promising- June 22, 2008 The results, I mean, not the fact that I'm wasting away my Sunday morning taking free online quizzes.

As soon as he woke up he felt important, as if everything depended upon him. It was just the day for Organizing Something, or for Writing a Notice Signed Rabbit, or for Seeing What Everybody Else Thought About It. It was a perfect morning for hurrying round to Pooh, and saying, "Very well, then, I'll tell Piglet," and then going to Piglet, and saying, "Pooh thinks--but perhaps I'd better see Owl first." It was a Captainish sort of day, when...http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/journal/2008_06_22_j_archive.htm#5772298926795404094 So, how was your day- June 22, 2008 Here's what I did:http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/journal/2008_06_15_j_archive.htm#4167767316262604840 Free Birthday Treats- June 21, 2008 Googling around, looks like there are one or two "comprehensive" lists that people are copying around.

This came out in October of 1929 So, which businesses offer birthday discounts I should take advantage of FWIW, I began the day by staying up past midnight to finish reading Marie Brennan's Midnight Never Come, a new Elizabethan fantasy novel.

Fool me twice; shame on me.” Read what you want into those adages. Or not. You're also welcome to just enjoy my latest Lol!Sox: PS: Ian didn't get the latter macro.
