Driving Park

The new sign is up at DPK and it looks incredible! It brightens up the entire block and at night it is especially cool looking. Karl Road's sign went in yesterday -- 20 ft closer to the street! and they are working on Shepard's right now.

Digital moving pictures

This is so cool -- the cover of Esquire's October issue is going to be made of electronic paper and the words and pictures will move! I can't wait to see it in SBN -- as a friend said: "You know what is really amazing about this... to date, the thought has been "Books will move to computers", now it looks like "computers will move to books"!!!"

OMGosh! I missed a week

Hey! I was busy! I got a big rock for my birthday and we had it drilled so it is a fountain. I love my fountain!!! The wall and garden are a work in process.

Libraries connect communities

ALA has posted their latest Public Library Funding and Technology Study at http://www.ala.org/ala/ors/plftas/0708/LibrariesConnectCommunities.pdf

Some great stuff in here -- nothing particularly new but it confirms our experience e.g. 82.5% of responding libraries report that they have too few computers to meet public demand some or all of the time. (p. 29) There's lots of great data here and I love that! :-)

Here I am ...

.... in the brave new blog world!? This is my first blog and I think only my third or fourth post ever. It's not so much that I'm afraid of the technology as it is that I am unclear how I can use it to make my life easier and/or happier (two things I try to achieve always!). So here I am and I am ready to learn -- and play! :-)
