Empty libraries make Dewey cry

I'm not sure if I like the purpose or design of this t-shirt better. Most times, the only people who think like this are librarians, but this time Glarkware outdid itself. Known more for their irreverent and non-sensical designs, Glarkware is dontating the whole sticker price of the shirt to this year’s book drive charities the Rockhouse Foundation and Children’s Institute. If you'd rather not have the t-shirt, you can dontate directly at Dewey Donation System. Go on... do a good deed for libraries.

Yes, I am obsessed with the weather

Yesterday morning a freak winter storm blew in to San Diego, and after having been told that we would only get a little drizzle, it poured all day long. It was 58 when I got to work at 8:30am, but by the time I left at 4:00pm, it was 44!! As a result, we got snow in the mountains, and many country dwellers had trouble getting home due to road closures.

While I can appreciate that to those who live in climates that actually have weather, this is par for the course, but in San Diego, it is quite a sight to see snow on my way to work, and from my office window. So bear with me while I express my awe with mother nature. AAAWWW...


Driving on Interstate 15 (yes, I took the picture while driving), this shot looks north east towards Palomar Mountain. Palomar Mountain got 10-11 inches of snow from the storm.





This is the beautiful view from my office window. Gotta love working for the gov'ment.

All bathroom doors should open out from the inside. That way, after you wash your hands, you won't have to deal with everyone else's germies.

"A Librarian's Worst Nightmare"

I like what this article says about Wikipedia, as I am a big fan of the community effort to increase the reliability of the site. I haven't used Yahoo! Answers much, but I have found similar problems that the author mentions. I'll stick with Wikipedia, thank you very much.
