Too buried to write much about it, but I suspect I’ll blog very little between now and the end of May. I decided today that rather than feeling guilty (as I have for the last couple weeks) about not blogging, I would consider this a well-deserved vacation after averaging about 1.5 posts per day […]

(The title of this post was going to be “Ambulatory and with Tremors,” but figured I’d be the only one amused by it.)
So Library Journal named me one of their 2008 Movers & Shakers.
(I’m curious: Are those named in this annual list all people who either move OR shake or people who both move AND […]

Photos from rehearsal for the Webcast:

Dale Prince really likes his iPhone. So do I, actually.

What may not be immediately obvious to those who have not met him is that Bart actually has a halo that is visible in person.

Michelle agrees with me that Dale rocks.

Okay!
Monday through Wednesday this week I’ll be in Chicago for the MLA Webcast.
My wife is leaving on Friday for 10 days overseas (she’s taking 7 students to Madrid, Barcelona and Paris to study Picasso!).
So…when I’m not in Chicago or at work, I’ll be wanting to spend time with Liz.
I think this means I’m taking the […]

Okay. To my great surprise, it looks like I actually have a chance at winning this award (previously mentioned here and here).

At the moment, I’m trailing Berci’s ScienceRoll- but not by a great margin.
This sort of contest is really about how many people one can motivate to go vote for one’s own […]

It seems to me that every time I say that I’m going to take a break from (or reduce the frequency of) my blogging, I make myself a liar shortly thereafter. This time I’ll choose my words more carefully:
I have a lot to do between now and January 2nd and need to focus on […]

I’m not ashamed to admit that I get a kick out of seeing my name or work in published books or journals.
But the most recent issue of the Journal of the European Association for Health Information and Libraries (2007, Vol 3, Issue 4) caught me by surprise. Oliver Obst’s “Web 2.0″ column, Notes from […]

So I’m very glad to be back at work full-time after my recent fun with a spontaneous pneumothorax and thoracic surgery, but I’m also really, really tired.
This is very inconvenient because I have a lot on my plate at the moment and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.
So, I plan to blog significantly less for the […]

Knowing that I recently had a chest tube, Rachel thought (correctly) that I’d be interested to know that the latest video from NEJM is on Chest-Tube Insertion.
I was under conscious sedation for mine, so I learned a lot from this.
The most important thing that I learned from the video is immense […]

Congratulations to my friend Mary Carmen Chimato on being selected for the ALA’s Emerging Leaders 2008 program!

Should’ve mentioned:
After what I’m told was a very successful surgery with managable complications and a few more days in the hospital, I was discharged home a couple of days ago and will spend the next two weeks pretty much on the couch, recovering.
When I’m feeling reasonably coherent (I’m on a lot of pain […]
