Kinky

March 29th, 2002 · 2 Comments · michael8rown

So I was amused to see, in Library Juice’s list of searches that led people to their site [via librarian.net], kinky librarians. Just for fun, I did the search on Google myself. Now, the two words alone pull up about 800 sites, hardly any of which appear to deal specifically with any library-related kinkiness. However, […]

What’re you looking at?

So I added this nifty little preview feature to my php content management system so that I could catch typos and such. Lotta good it’s doing me so far. Biggest problem is that I can’t edit what’s already been posted without screwing up the original file. So, I have to sit here and stare at […]

Funky Monkey

March 27th, 2002 · No Comments · michael8rown

Little Monkey Brown is giving me grey hair (like I didn’t have any to being with). In the last three weeks, he’s gone from breech (feet first) to vertex (head first) and back to breech again. What this all means is that if we can’t get him vertex again within the next few days, Ari […]

Reee-ah

Rear-ending someone is just plain dumb. I mean, I just can’t imagine allowing myself to become so distracted that I actually run into the car ahead of me. Now, ice-covered roads and thick fog are viable conditions for a legitimate bump here or there, but plowing into the back of a stopped car on a […]

Miscellany

March 25th, 2002 · No Comments · michael8rown

This month’s Library Journal features an excellent article about Jessamyn. And speaking of Jessamyn, she’s put up some photos from her recent trip to San Francisco. Most interesting to me, starting with number 23 are pictures from an art installment where someone took old library catalog cards and illustrated them and lined the walls […]

Don’t PHP your pants

March 24th, 2002 · No Comments · michael8rown

Okay. How dorky is this? I have fallen madly in love with a programming language. I have been consumed by the sweet sweet elixir of hypertext preprocessing capabilities. I have just written a whole batch of beginner php code in an attempt to completely automate the blogging process here at Chatterwaul. No more shuffling back […]

Down, boy!

March 23rd, 2002 · No Comments · michael8rown

Apologies for so boisterously announcing yesterday’s victory in the famous dog mauling case. I know the verdict raises many new questions, and that dealing with future cases won’t be an easy row to hoe. But those two wackos (three if you count Nedra Ruiz) are messed up on so many levels that it nearly ceased […]

No bone for Nedra

Right on!
As an owner of a large dog, I’m happy to hear that these two dopes are going to be locked away for a while. And what’s that you say, Nedra? Speak up, we can’t hear you!

Kudos

What an absolutely wonderful thing to say:
“Michael was amazing. He’s a keystone to the whole SXSW experience. He invited people to his house. He helped Derek organize Fray Cafe. He performed at 20×2. He and his wife Ari are definitely at the top of my short list for canonization. Based on my experiences librarians must […]

MICHAEL MOORE: I really didn’t realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group.
