Sorry for the downtime last week -- the host box developed a motherboard / power supply problem. It's back up on a new box, and I'm hoping to tinker with WordPress next month. Sooner than than that, I'll post about my election judge experience.
In the meantime, here are links to ...

This morning I'm at the Northern Virginia Linux User Group meeting. The topic is photo management software for Linux (presentation by Theodore Ruegsegger), but they also asked anyone with an XO to bring it along, so Jonathan Blocksom put the word out on the One Laptop Per Child Learning Club ...

I tend to be more interested in topics that don't fit neatly into one category: interdisciplinary, multi-faceted matters. This is why I was so happy when I discovered tags (and social bookmarking, serendipitously) -- a.k.a. "labels" in Gmail. I like the way tagging helps me organize and recall information I've come across on the ...

Now that a handheld trigger-scanner is coming my way, I've created a LibraryThing account for myself. So far, I've just manually added books I had at the office; the major imports will come when I get the scanner and a friend helps me whip through my bookcases at home. I'm ...

While attempting to hunt up free web presentation software options for a friend (anyone know of any?), I came across the article Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation. Claim: Knowledge is created through conversation (which can take place over time). Libraries can provide a service by facilitating conversations. Gives examples ...
