Humming “I love the world” by the Discovery Channel
This song has been stuck in my head for DAYS!!
FYI People look at you funny when you hum to yourself on the bus and they can see you’re not wearing an MP3 player.
New publisher of “alternative” librarian literature
In general, I’d say that publishes materials on librarianship are pretty alternative when you compare us to more mainstream professions like teaching or nursing, but I guess every profession needs an “alt” version out there.

Last day of cycling for 2008 — October 16th
Winter has officially arrived and there’s no sign of it going away. So, it looks like this year’s last day of cycling is October 16th. Not bad. Easily the longest I’ve biked into the season. Those half-studded tires really made a difference!

Vote
This is mainly for my fellow Canadians but you Americans are cool to enjoy too.
Now, normally I like to keep my views to myself (ha!). Okay, well, what I mean is I fight for the causes I believe in. And right now, I happen to believe that voting, particularly by the youth, is [...]
