24: The Unaired 1994 Pilot

I've never even seen the show 24, but I was laughing hard at this vision of what the show would have been like if the characters were limited to the technology of 1994.

"Dammit George, you picked up the phone while I was doing the Internet!"

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure Mulder and Scully did have cellphones smaller than bricks even in circa 1994 episodes of the X-Files. But I guess that may have been thanks to alien technology...

Uh oh, they're on to us

I suppose it was inevitable that someone would eventually realize the truth.

Librarians are vampires.

It's nice to have outside confirmation of my theory that IT people are a related subspecies, though.

"Won't you blog about this song?"

This video had a high slot on The Onion AV Club's "Videocracy" site. It's undoubtedly the funniest Web 2.0 themed Billy Joel parody I've ever seen.

"Here Comes Another Bubble"

regime dress...wtf?

Don't even ask me how I got to this web catalog. Anyway, they are advertising a pretty ugly wool dress for $248 and the catalog copy reads: "What do you get when you cross a sexy librarian with disciplinarian?" And that copy, it made me mad.

Also, the website is running a ton of annoying flash. So, screw your sustainable design philosphy, Nau, you obviously hate librarians and, fyi, each of your pages takes about five billion seconds to load because of all that crappy flash.

Also, welcome back, blog!

blog maintenance

As we are about to reach our 700th post, I have decided that it is time for a little blog maintenance. I would like to clean up the links and condense the tag cloud. If you use any of the links heavily, let me know so I keep them, or if you have any new ones to add, suggest away.

Also, there was talk a few weeks ago about a name change. Do we still want to do that? Please discuss!

Check it out archivists, librarians totally kicked your ass this time around.

The Future is NOW!

Remember the cool reading pad Capt. Picard was always reading? Well, the cell phone is slowly starting to catch up. Oh, the day when smut can be read while standing in line, without the embarssement.

I heart the internet

Someone thinks I've got skillz

I got a job! It's only for 6 months so I only get .5 in the banner, but .5 > 0 which makes me a happy librarian or archivist as my new title says.

I see your Federsearch, and raise you....
