… but broken for much longer.
This blog, Off the Mark, is 2 years old today. I shall refrain from calling it an anniversary, as such, since last year we sort of decided that my blogging anniversary ought to be from the start of my 1st public blog, …the thoughts are broken…, which debuted in January […]

Some things seen around the Internet lately

Drinking with the Troops
From a local blog, Urbanagora, comes “Drinks with a Soldier.” I just love how some jackass commentor tries to hide behind the shield of anonymity and call the post author a liar. Certainly there are all sorts of views on this war, including those of the troops fighting it.
Perhaps if you ever […]

Some things read this week feature is over
June 19th, 2008 · 6 Comments
Back in mid-January 2007 I started a “feature” entitled “Some things read this week, …”. I have, for a long time now, been unhappy with it. I have rarely addressed the important things in the depth which they deserved and to which I would like. The date data is generally recorded in at least one […]

Andrea Mercado and her Conversants article
March 24th, 2008 · 4 Comments
This is going to be kind of weird but I don’t know what else to do.
Andrea Mercado of LibraryTechtonics has a new post, Article in Conversants. Recommended, by the way.
I read her post and then her article, Making library schools smarter. Conversants is using CommentPress which I am happy to see, but until […]

In feed reader limbo
March 4th, 2008 · 8 Comments
A couple of months ago it was announced that NetNewsWire was now free for individuals. I saw this news in a few places and read some high praise for it in those and other places. Having been fed up with the assorted problems Bloglines has been having for quite a while now, I decided to […]
Almost the day : Birthday Month update
February 19th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Today has been a fairly laid-back day. Considering.
I got up at 10-ish and have been on slow ever since. Pauline & Kathryn’s class was having a reading day and I decided to forego more Protégé work this evening in Allen’s class. We will be doing more next week.
So I have been giving myself a […]

Successful WordPress upgrade?
February 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
I finally got around to upgrading this blog’s version of WordPress from 2.2.3 to the newest, 2.3.2. There’s an brand-new updated version of the Cutline theme that I use that I still need to do but …

3rd blogging anniversary and welcome to new readers
January 29th, 2008 · 6 Comments
Welcome new readers
On the 14th of Jan, Blake posted a story at LISNews, The LINews 10 Blogs To Read in 2008. My lowly little blog was included in that list. I have at least 29 new readers in Bloglines, which means, perhaps, 80-120 total new readers since then. Of course, the fact that the list […]

Where are the blogging LIS educators?
January 25th, 2008 · 21 Comments
Back in August 2005, Joy Weese Moll started a movement to identify the MLS student bloggers, which also led to many questions and discussions. Nowadays we have a Ning to hang out in.
I think it is time for a new list and some more questions. Who are the blogging LIS educators? Why are there […]

Need a New Name, Round 2
January 16th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Don’t worry … I’m not looking for a new name for this wittily named blog (wasn’t christened by me anyway ). I’m starting a 2nd blog and no worries. I am not breaking my thoughts here, either. This is nt a professional/other stuff split like has been discussed here before from assorted angles.
My intention […]
