It all started because I Blogged where I should have Twittered. . .   Greg wrote a post called “Stepping into Marketing“ talking about Mitch Joel presentation.   And I wrote this:
I actually had Mitch in my Twitter list, but he didn’t follow me, so I took him off. I might put him back though.
Whether or not you think this [...]

Too bad LISNews only mentioned 10 blogs in their list. 

Ten more ideas about how I can make my life better, in libraries and elsewhere:

 Plan an unconference — somewhere, somehow.

The field needs more unconferences, and I’d like to host/organize one for local librarians this year — probably in the summer sometime.

 More controlled and productive computer time.

No, this has nothing to do with social software.   I [...]

There is a meme going on.   I am not going to tag you.   It never works anyway.   Just do it if you want to do it. 
December: Oh yeah, there’s been a hiatus.
November: So, I can generally get funding for approximately one conference per year.
 October: I’m happy to say that the [...]

Oh yeah, there’s been a hiatus.   Lots of real life going on these days.   But here are some interesting things:

I will be presenting at Computers in Libraries on the use of laptop labs in libraries.   This is exciting because fellow Library Society of the Worlders, Steve Lawson, Joshua Neff, and Rikhei Harris are going too.   [...]

I was absolutely astonished to discover that I am #22 on the Online Education Database’s list of the top 25 bloggers. All grains of salt are required about the numbers. A bunch of blogs were not included in the study that could easily kick my pagerank backside. To name [...]

So I stopped into the Uncontrolled Vocabulary live discussion forum only to be told that they were previously discussing my “We Asked for 2.0 Libraries” post from a few days ago. Besides being a bit surprised (though after today I have discovered that the post has potential to beat out my “no brainer” [...]

Yes, one year of the Other Librarian as of 1pm July 5th.    To celebrate, here are some crazy things I like to do that relate to the title of my blog:

Read Husserl, Sartre and Foucault (as per “The Other” in philosophy).   Add the Canadian, Ian Angus, to that list as well.
Do a Google [...]

As I mentioned before (more than once for some reason), I was at the CLA Emerging Technologies Pre-conference and did a presentation called “Library 2.0 is the Answer!  Now what are the questions again?”
In my presentation, I wanted to come up with a definition for L2 that focussed on strategy or actions rather than theory [...]
