Blog Tag: 5 Things You Don’t Know About David Rothman
I was tagged by my friend Marjolein.
1. My father is a geek’s geek. A retired IBM programmer, he is mentioned in Wikipeda for developing CGIDEV2. I have a distinct recollection of what happened when I asked him to teach me to program in BASIC. He said “sure!” …and handed me the manual.
2. I have owned 6 copies of Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and keep losing them by pushing them on people and insisting they read it- then not asking for it back and buying a new copy instead.
3. I can twist balloons into animal shapes. These days, I do it for the amusement of nieces, nephews, or the children of friends- but when I was about 14, I worked at the local Ground Round on weekends as “Bingo the Clown.”
4. I used to study theatre. I went to the Arts High School at the Minnesota Center for Arts Education (now called the Perpich Center) and to the North Carolina School of the Arts. I was not especially good at it.
5. I was once the general manager of the Chocolate Fetish. I learned how to temper chocolate, among other chocolatier skills.
I’ll tag the following five MedLib bloggers in hopes that it’ll amuse them more it will annoy them:
Eugene Barsky (UBC Physio blog)
Rachel Walden (Women’s Health News)
Guus van den Brekel (DigiCMB)
Becky J. (Clinical Evidence, Searching Tidbits, and Other Minutiae)
Stewart Brower (Professional Notes)

David , thanks a lot for tagging me here
However, I think I will pass the ball – my blog is not a personal blog – and only rarely I do write stuff about myself there …
Have fun!

[...] 2. Prioritize When I don’t have time, I don’t check my feeds. If I only have a little time to spare, I’ll check just those feeds that I care a lot about, like those from Medical Librarianship blogs, feeds from the blogs of good friends, or the feeds that let me know if someone has linked to my blog (that’s how I noticed Marjolein blog-tagging me even though I was hardly reading feeds while on my blogging vacation). After hardly reading any feeds for about 3 weeks, I had a lot stacked up. Some I slogged through, the rest I just trashed. Relax. Except for those very few feeds that you prioritize, do you really have to read through each and every item in your aggregator? No way. Skim subject lines the way you skim the Table of Contents in a journal. [...]
