Anyone who has read my blog for more than a few months knows that I took Bibliography with Dr. Krummel last Fall.

What have I been up to?
April 20th, 2008 · 3 Comments
What a question. I feel like I need a recap of some of it myself sometimes.
I hope to have some semi-substantial blog posts and/or Flickr sets for some of these but I’d like to get them mentioned before they all become old news.
[some kind of division]
Been watching a fair few movies, started running (4x 5x [...]

ASIS&T bound; with a purpose
April 7th, 2008 · 8 Comments
Of course I was planning on attending ASIS&T this year in Columbus, OH, but now I have an even better reason than simply because I enjoy it. Some friends (and real researchers) “roped me into” being on a panel and we just heard today that it was accepted.
