Here comes another Christmas and we all wonder what to get the hard-to-please among our family and friends. Well, good old Archie McPhee still isn’t letting us down! Despite the fact that they no longer carry the Illustrated Librarian line of temporary tattoos (perfect for the librarian on your list), they do have a nice “Read or Die” shopping bag which is new. For other librarian(and zombie) related items you can check out my post Librarians and Zombies: Novel Presents You will Love (and some librarian trivia) Continue reading

I was looking at my Facebook and a friend of mine, Jason Summers had posted as his status “The shoes never faded all the way”.

Well, that’s interesting – what did it mean? Then I read the comments below it and Jason had commented the following:

My husband Sean Robinson and Kay Gregg from the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, created a video for the Librareo “Why I Love My Library” video contest.

Out of over 175 public, school and academic libraries that submitted videos for the “I Love My Library!” video contest, Sean and Kay’s video was selected as one of the 5 finalists.

The winner was revealed at… Continue reading

Well, I had originally planned to write about a cool set of posts I found on Dark Roasted Blend about weird and wacky cars. But as I started looking at their blog, I found myself reading more and more posts of theirs and being totally amazed and amused.

So while this post is mainly about the amazing cars they have written about, it is also a huge… Continue reading | 2 Comments

Thanks to twitter (@bbluesman aka Mark Foreman, creator of many outstanding audio podcasts), I found this great mini-movie video created by Galacticast. GALACTICAST is a weekly comedy show parodying all the worlds of geek-dom. From their apartment studio, Casey McKinnon and Rudy Jahchan (along with the other Galacticast players) mash-up their love of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comics, and video-games to bring you hilarious sketches every Monday… Continue reading

While browsing some of my favorite blogs, I found an entry on JustGiblets pointing to some silly and fun tests to pass time when it is a rainy day, or OK, I confess, I’d rather play around on the computer than clean. And after you’ve taken them, you can easily add them to your facebook if you so choose (and who doesn’t, that has a facebook account … Continue reading

12/12/09 UPDATE: OK, it appears JibJab got rid of my videos, I suppose because I haven’t logged in for quite a while. Here is a new one I just made with Sean and his brothers. I plan an update post on JibJab soon, but for now, enjoy this:)

JibJab lets you upload a picture of your face and… Continue reading | 4 Comments

I was looking for episodes on the internet of some TV shows for my sister and was having a hard time finding “So You Think You Can Dance” (which apparently Fox does not put on their website). But I looked for anything on YouTube and found Snape teaches Slytherins to dance. It is excellent and was created using the game Sims 2.

Today in the era of text messages, too often a clever put-down is about as classy as “OMFG U SUX”. But Angry 365 Days a Year (if I was Australian, I would be too) has put together a list (actually mostly copied it from somewhere else, but that is the mark of a good blogger) called When Insults Had Class. These are some of the true classics in… Continue reading
