These Exciting Times

I know, you can hardly believe it - post three this week! There's a lot going on with Jen and I, but I want to tell you that I am making a commitment to blog regularly again - so excuse me if the posts aren't up to what I usually write, let me get my "writing legs" back, so to speak. Jen's posts are consistently great - so that should help make up for my rustiness. I want to talk very briefly about my new job, as well as some other museum things.

Facebook as a Catalog

Well, readers, I have been inundated with periodicals lately. One article that stood out from the flood was From Friending to Research, by Anne Pemberton. I thought this was a great idea - using something familiar to many people (facebook) to explain some of the more abstract concepts associated with librarianship. I have a couple of favorites I want to highlight...

William, the Conqueror of Information

Well, hello again, readers! The internet has arrived at our home, and so I am now able to post on a regular basis.

In this post, I want to share with you an interesting idea I've been mulling over recently.

From Space to Home

Well, good readers, this marks the first night we have spent in our new home. I choose the word “home” carefully, as up until now, it was really much more of a place than a home. All of the boxes are unpacked, our art is hung, and all we are really waiting for is the delivery of some new furniture we ordered to make the place “whole.” It does feel absolutely wonderful now, though.

Arkansas Update, V.2

Hello readers!

Well, due to some spotty free wifi here at the apartment, I am able to give you an update from the chilly hills of northwest Arkansas! It's hard to believe that it has been five days since we sent an update your way from up here, but the AT&T Uverse technicians don't arrive until the 13th, so our internet is in and out - other than the iPhones we brought with us. Fortunately, Jen brought her laptop and so I sat down and found some free wifi we can use for the time being. I still will say we'll be pretty much off the grid until the 13th, though.

Arkansas: Day One

Well, good readers, Jen and I are coming to you live and in person from our new place in Rogers, Arkansas. Cosby is back at our house holding the fort down, and we will move him up here at the end of the week. We drove up from Fort Worth today, and what an adventure it has been thus far!
