Managed my first epic travel event since my brain went away and I have to say it went pretty well. I’ve even got to the point where I’m not using my ancient backpack for traveling and I got a proper travel bag (thanks to the world of social media, I got it at a discount, [...]

represent

Sunday, November 18, 2007

A very busy week is wrapping up here. A very busy week is starting tomorrow. Today is a missing empty day between them. Last week I went to Providence to give a talk that I briefly mention on librarian.net. It was about agitprop which is a topic that I always assume people know about, but [...]
