Subnixus
I don’t often link directly to other blogs in posts, unless I’m disagreeing with something someone said. This time, I’m just pointing out a site that has a bunch of good wordpress themes, and interesting discussion. His “college is a scam” entry has generated a bit of heated debate, to say the least.
Anyway, check out Subnixus, and see what you think.

Rane Arroyo on librarians…
“….the library card, to me, is the most magical and dangerous power in the United States. Why aren’t librarians treated as the visionaries they often are? They know, as I do, that voices stay with a reader long ater a book is closed…”
How to Name a Hurricane, University of Arizona Press, 2005, page xiii

New theme
Please be patient while I attempt to wrestle with my new fancy Ajaxified theme, K2. I’m modifying it heavily (naturally), and it’s gonna take some time to get it all straight.
If anyone notices anything borked, please comment and let me know. Thanks!

Socratic Method
A brilliant example of use of the Socratic Method to teach a very complex set of ideas to young children. I’ve said a couple of times during Instruction meetings here at UTC that I really love the Socratic Method, largely because it engenders frustration, and it’s frustration that builds self-motivation for learning. I know that I learn more when I’m frustrated by something not quite working the way I want…I think that students do as well. At least, it’s a possible motivator for them…any motivation is sometimes good motivation. 🙂
Anyone in LibraryLand using the Socratic Method in Library Instruction?

ALA Annual here I come…
I’ve been invited to speak at a LITA Panel concerning blogging at ALA Annual in New Orleans!
I’ll be talking up the LITAblog and the choices that we made in choosing WordPress and the technical stuff behind our setup. I’m excited…I had thought about submitting a poster session presentation application, but being invited to be a part of a LITA panel is way cooler. 🙂 Thanks for the vote of confidence, LITAgang!
Anyone out there in blogland that will be attending Annual as well? Any UNC-SILSsters out there?

Finally! I was having a hell of a time with my categories, but the 2.01 update seems to have fixed it, and I’m back to being overjoyed with happiness with WordPress. If you upgraded to 2.0, definitely grab this mini-update.
In personal news, I just found out that I was accepted to attend the ACRL Immersion program! Anyone out there in library land going to be there with me???
