Great Non Sequitur Cartoon

Yesterday's Non Sequitur cartoon. God Does the Talk Show Circuit: "I think my greatest creation was the sense of humor. The irony, of course, is that the people who claim to believe in me the most are the ones least likely to have one..."

Well-Rounded Wisdom

I think I've been on the reference desk too long. Someone asked me a question, and I wanted to send them here for an answer.

All over for blogs?

Interesting article from Bill Thompson, Technology columnist for BBC News online, asking are blogs becoming obsolete?

Well, as I've rarely been ahead of a trend in my life, I wouldn't be surprised. Which isn't to say I'll stop blogging. Nor, I think, will the phenomena die down easily. We all want our soapbox, however wobbly.

Park Bench Lending Library

Okay, here's an interesting idea. Read a good book, register it at this site, then set the book "free". Huh? Yeah, leave it on a park bench, in a doctor's office, in the subway, or "forget it" in a coffee shop. The idea is to have someone pick it up, read it, note it at the site, and pass it on again.

This thing has gone seriously International, too. Sites all over Europe. They even have a Meetup site where you can connect with other BookCrossing nuts. What a wonderful idea. It's like a global book club.

Bibliophiles of the world, unite! You have nothing to fear but a papercut!
