unitarian jihad

You must read this rather amusing column from John Carroll. It is a “letter” he received from a group calling itself the Unitarian Jihad. [thanks diane] “There is only God, unless there is more than one God. The vote of our God subcommittee is 10-8 in favor of one God, with two abstentions. Brother Flaming … Continue reading “unitarian jihad”

“There is only God, unless there is more than one God. The vote of our God subcommittee is 10-8 in favor of one God, with two abstentions. Brother Flaming Sword of Moderation noted the possibility of there being no God at all, and his objection was noted with love by the secretary.”

It concludes with, “There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.”

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Sister Pepper Spray of The Short Path. Get yours.

core journals

Rather than spending tremendous time and energy attempting to come up with a functional allocation formula for the journal collection, perhaps it may be more useful to come up with a core journal list specifically for my institution and a long-term collection development plan based on that core journal list? Hm.

feeds for indie rock fans

In case you haven’t heard, indie rock label Sub Pop offers a variety of RSS feeds: multimedia downloads, label news, and artist/band tour dates (including feeds for specific states/countries and artists/bands). The multimedia downloads are a mix of Quicktime and mp3 files, and I don’t know what that might do to your iPod or other … Continue reading “feeds for indie rock fans”

The multimedia downloads are a mix of Quicktime and mp3 files, and I don’t know what that might do to your iPod or other portable digital audio music player.

(This just reminded me that I had a dream last night about owning an iPod. Hm.)

the answer to stupid questions

I used to work at the reference desk a few hours a week. It helped reinforce my decision to stay as far away from reference work as I can. Don’t get me wrong, I like helping people with research and finding answers to questions. It was the stupid questions (and there are stupid questions) and … Continue reading “the answer to stupid questions”

I used to work at the reference desk a few hours a week. It helped reinforce my decision to stay as far away from reference work as I can. Don’t get me wrong, I like helping people with research and finding answers to questions. It was the stupid questions (and there are stupid questions) and the lazy students that really got under my skin. Oh, how many times I wished I could send them to a website like this!

wishing chair

I’m in Kentucky this weekend, visiting old friends and celebrating with my friends Kiya and Miriam of the band Wishing Chair. They’ve been making music together for ten years and are releasing their sixth CD. I’ve had Underdog on repeat in the rental car as I drive around from here to there over the past … Continue reading “wishing chair”

I’m in Kentucky this weekend, visiting old friends and celebrating with my friends Kiya and Miriam of the band Wishing Chair. They’ve been making music together for ten years and are releasing their sixth CD. I’ve had Underdog on repeat in the rental car as I drive around from here to there over the past twenty-four hours, and I must say, it rocks my world. I am biased, but I also know good music. This is good music. Support my friends and support independent music by picking up a copy for yourself (and/or your loved ones).
