Oct-teen: Gibberish
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy.
The above line of genius was published via Zoho writer. Which is similar to Zofo....but less Zepplinesque.
Anywhoo: it's a pretty cool tool and would be useful if you needed to bang out and save a document at an internet cafe somewhere in the world like Ghana and get it to someone.
So there ye go.

One more than 18= Frappr Magic Starts Here!!
Ok. I finally found something during this that made me say "uh...whut...?"
I chose "Frappr" and put my self on the map. Then stared at the screen...then clicked about for a bit. Then stared some more. Then went "huh." Then realized there wasn't much more to it and popped to this page to write this up.
Oh well, best laid plans....
Google maps, btw, is awesome beyond compare. Frappr uses it to create some sort of social page. It's lost on me.

7-teen: PBwiki
Super fun. What can one say. Added my comment in fave restaurants about Midget Kitchen. Whose BBQ is so good it maketh me want to weep.
Sextus decimus: E Pluribus Wiki
Well, we don't really trust 'em...but we kind of do. You look at it with Jaundiced eye (where does that saying come from?) and make your decision. MOST of the time the information is bang on.
Still it's a great way to transfer information. I agree with Khan's writing that Bull Run's Wiki is more or less a blog. But the others seem a bit more to the point.
Do I think it's the end all? But useful, yes. As long as your eye is Jaundiced. Better that than a malarial eye, I suppose.

15: Web Deuces Wild
I read "Into a New World of Librarianship" and "Away from the Icebergs."
I rather agree with the first one wholeheartedly...except that while I think we should be "trendspotters" it's really more about reading our customer wants and what our customers use and adapting to it. But he's pretty close to the mark.
Controlling "Technolust" is another bit that I enjoyed. You can get behind technology that dies immediately and end up owning an expensive relic.
I also enjoyed the other article... tho' when he writes:
"In fact, it may no longer make sense to “collect” in the traditional sense at all. In my library, we’ve seen a 55 percent drop in circulation rates over the past twelve years, making it harder and harder to justify the continued buildup of a large “just in case” print collection."
I realize he's made a mistake by generalizing his situation. We at Ashburn see no drop whatsoever in our regular print collection. True CD and VHS are dropping in C/O's and one day they'll be gone. But it's going to be awhile before print is replaceable.
They've being saying that sort of thing since the 50's.
