I have a few libraries with newish wireless connections that do not, in my opinion, adequately promote them. I decided that will not be the case with this most recent install. I made flyers from this image and hung them around the place.

me in an Australian magazine
In case you missed this on Flickr… I was interviewed by Geraldine Barkworth for a column called Librarians on the Edge in the November 2006 issue of inCite, the Australian version of American Libraries. I said she could look around Flickr and find a picture of me that she liked and she chose this one, much to my amusement.
in Burlington for NELA
I’m in Burlington this evening. I’m going to speak at the New England Library Association conference tomorrow about Web 2.0 stuff. I’ll link to the talk tomorrow. I’m not totally sure why regional library associations like this exist when there are already library associations for all the states they represent, but it’s fun to see a new group of librarians and some old friends, especially Michael Golrick who is moving to a new job shortly and will no longer be a NELA member, Lichen Rancourt, my carpool buddy from Library Camp, Lichen’s Mom (Jay) superstar New Hampshire librarian and Brian Herzog who works at a library near where I grew up. When I met Brian I said “Oh hey, I just started reading your blog” which I guess was a bit surpising to him because he just recently started it. The hotel has a pool so I’m heading down there. If you see me at the conference please come by and say hello.
My NDLA talks, from Fargo
I’m sitting in the back of the NDLA business meeting as this conference wraps up. What fun! It was the North Dakota Library Association’s 100th year. They had Michael Gorman and Loriene Roy, both of whom gave really interesting speeches which I listened to while eating some truly tasty food. I’ll give a little wrap-up later, but for now, here’s links to my two talks.

portrait of the librarian at a young age
Today is my birthday. I am 38. It’s been a pretty good day so far. One of the places I am going today is the library.
