books and libraries on digg

Yesterday libraries got some love in a post titled “Librarians stake their future on open source” on digg. There is (only) one semi-contrarian comment in the bunch. In response to the comment

“Yes, there are a lot of people who work at a Library on digg. ;-)”

someone chimed in with

“i guess librarians have a lot more time to read digg since everyone else is at home reading digg too, rather than reading books.”

Then today this appears: Digg this story if you want a ‘Books’ section under Entertainment on Digg!!. Apparently this isn’t the best digg etiquette, but I found it funny nevertheless.

five things

So I was tagged by two people to list five things people don’t know about me.

  • I’m a minimalist and dislike clutter. Even things like crown molding “are a bit too much.”
  • I spend a little time every day dreaming about selling what I own and traveling to far off places.
  • If I could be a rap star or rock star I’d choose to be a rap star.
  • I like fog.
  • I have a phrase that I say out loud to myself when I’m freaked out and/or exhausted while climbing or cycling. It helps.

I’m sorry if you previously knew any of these things. You can have a full refund.
