Internet Librarian 2007
I head out far-too-early in the morning for Internet Librarian 2007. I’m scheduled to be faculty on a preconference on Sunday, with an all-star cast (minus me): Michelle Boule, Amanda Etches-Johnson, Meredith Farkas, and Chad Boeninger. We’re doing a full day of Academic Library 2.0, and it should be a blast.
Hope to see everyone there! If you see me, and don’t know me…introduce yourself!

Loot! Part II
Oh, how we love gift cards and cash. We got lots of other great things at our baby shower in Olive Hill, KY, but those were certainly greatly appreciated. It’s daunting to think of all the stuff we still need to buy.
Most unusual gift? Money that was rolled up and turned into sculpture: bills that were turned into a baby carriage! We did get a few things from our registries, also, which was a relief. I was beginning to think we spent all that time doing those for nothing!

Best photos ever
I am just blown away by the 3D ultrasounds that we had done yesterday. Not just because she’s my little girl (or soon will be) but the technology is insane. I watched it being done, and grok the how of it, but seeing it in action is difficult to wrap one’s head around. Tiny slices of imagery, layered and stitched to build a virtual 3D model, and then displayed and rotated for the best possible angle…
In any case, I’m trying not to go too much into babyland with this blog (that’s reserved for Brand New World) but I had to throw one of these up.

Eliza in 3D
Yesterday was a day we’ll never forget. We got 3D ultrasounds of little Eliza (see Flickr stream to the right). She is soooo cute, but then again we’re biased. The technology was absolutely stunning, and although we were in there for an hour and had to pay for these, it was absolutely worth every penny. It’s hard to describe seeing her face for the first time…
People are saying she looks more like me than Jason. The chubby cheeks and thighs are definitely mine! Seeing these just made me all the more excited to see her in person in just 8 short weeks (or less)!
Just another amazing video from the maker of The Machine is Us/ing us. Digital information, as much as we like to treat it like paper, is just different.
The sooner librarians get their heads around this, the better for our patrons. I’m trying desperately to wrap my head around how this influences our new library building…
Here’s a great example of my very favorite misuse of quotation marks: the use of quotation marks to indicate emphasis, where it should probably be underlined or bolded. This is a card we recieved at our latest baby shower.
So it’s not for Betsy; it’s for someone like Betsy, or perhaps someone pretending to be Betsy?

This weekend = more shower
So we head north this Friday to take part in the second of our three showers. This one is in concert with my sister, and is being thrown by my family.
Here’s a shot of our haul from last weekend:
and here’s my favorite gift:
A travel bottle warmer. I know I spend a lot of time in my car, but I’m hoping we never actually have to use this. 🙂
