The Life Cycle Of A Blog and Geekipedia

Wired Magazine has a interesting article about blogs and its "life cycle". Interesting to see who is watching whom. What I'm more excited about on this site is the 149 people I should know in Wired Magazine's Geekipedia. Finally, being a geek (other than Bill Gates) is paying off.

Ten Emerging Technologies 2008

The relevancy of this is almost too funny. I was just talking about technology and how to stay up-to-date with the new gadgets or trends and the ALA (American Library Association) includes a story about "Ten Emerging Technologies 2008" from Technology Review! I have never head of this site before but I will from now on!
"Technology Review presents our list of the 10 technologies that we think are most likely to change the way we live."

What I DID Learn In Library School

What a better way to start off a blog than to include another blog? I give this honor to the Association of College and Research Libraries online blog for posting a former LSU student with a MLIS (Master's in Library and Information Science). In this posting she mentions how her education DID prepare her for a job after graduation. The former student's name is Melissa Mallon. I hope any MLISers out there enjoyed this post as much as I did.
