Something new, woohoo

More because I feel like I need to keep this blog fresh than anything, I added a new little widget over there on the side. Worldcat is the biggest listing of books in the world, and now searching it is free. I've used it at work with a paid subscription for quite a few years, but it's pretty great that OCLC opened it up to the masses. Search for stuff, it's really amazing. It's a bit abridged from the full version (password required) we pay for, but still...

In other news...a few notes for posterity:

• I'm currently reading my way through Buddha. Also on my reading list is The Wisdom of Crowds, Man Without a Country, and The Long Tail.


• I hate to keep bringing it up, but Burning Man just dominates my mind these days. Building shade structures gets less fun every time.


• Oh, and another Burning Man note...check this amazing project from BoingBoing


• We're (probably) going to have a yard sale this weekend. Come buy stuff!


• I set up a wiki for folks to collaborate on scheduling time to watch Lola while we're on the playa. Pretty cool! I love wikis! (Mouse-hover the first wiki link for the password if you want in to the Lola wiki...)


• Yellowjacket update: Morgan got stung again yesterday, I emptied another full can of poison, found few corpses, so not sure where we stand. Grrrr....


• If I've never mentioned it to you, you should really take a look at PostSecret. They update every Sunday and almost always some pretty amazing stuff to read.

OK, I think that's about enough for now. See ya!
