Not quite the RSS

I havn't quirte got the hang of the RSS thing yet. However I comend to you two interesting newletters with RSS feeds I receive: the resource Shelf www.resourceshelf.com/ and Docuticker http://www.docuticker.com

Both provide weekly updates to policy pages and other fun stuff.

Docuticker also has Shirl as chief editor, a most techically savvy librarian and also friend and former coworker of on the corner

the bassbone likes her as well

I claim this blog

Technorati Profile

Another assignment down, more or less,
i will probably continue posting to this after the close out of assignments after all then i may vent on this other than library 2.0. I found it interesting that several more technically savvy types are telling me "blogs are so yesterday." Since i just started this blog i'm not surprised. i seem to be always a bit behind the curve. Anyway if others can have their little corners of cyberspace then why not me?

Rolling Rollyo

"rollin' rollin' rollin' keep them doggies movin" or "as the caissons keep rolling along" or even "roll me over in the clover [remaing lines censored]"
I've added a rollyo account here http://www.rollyo.com/jcamenga/ I chose newspapers from my old haunts plus others I read regularly as well as my branch of service. Seems like an interesting tool to use. Let's see if this setting stays put unlike library thing. So far i think i'm batting .500 in the items i've attempted and that still leaves quite a bit more to do.

103 years ago LT Edmund Gruber 3rd FA was serving in the Phillipines. His unit's cannon were making slow headway in the mud. An old sergeant remarked to him "they'll be all right sir, as long as they keep rolling." Cue the song inspiration.
If you've ever climbed Mount Scott, come down Medicine Bluff, or taken an azimuth from the blockhouse on Signal Mountain, I send greetings.
