Going to bed now.
Another night of the Master’s Paper. Bibliography = check. Abstract = check. Subject headings = check. All formatting = check. All that’s missing is that seal of approval from Paul, which hopefully comes this weekend.

Here’s a prediction…
Someone in SILS next year will take one of these two new Open Source Social Networking systems, install it, and finally the dream of SILSter will be realized.

Wow…
….finally, after many, many hours of work, and countless evenings up late, finally the Master’s Paper is finished.
From BoingBoing, a story about an economics professor here at UNC that’s come to the conclusion that (*gasp, shock*) illegal downloading of music doesn’t actually affect album sales.
A quote from the paper: “Even in the most pessimistic specification, five thousand downloads are needed to displace a single album sale…high selling albums actually benefit from file sharing. ”
Allow me to translate the gist of the paper to non-academic speak for those not at a University:
“Screw you, RIAA, you bunch of money grubbing litigious jerkwads.”

Yet more zombie stuff
I swear I think I’m going to have to change the title of this blog to “Bring Out Your Dead” given all the zombie posts. But this one was too funny not to include.
I give you: SHAUN OF THE DEAD!
