I am a librarian. I help college students find stuff. @oajoe Opinions my own. I got my sense of humor from my Dad. Blame him.
The Friendfeed Convergence video with Holly, Derrick, Scott, and Alex cemented my love for FF. https://vimeo.com/8689792
Wow. How have I never seen this? - laura x
Yep. Totally. - SAM
Irony of the day. The standard to define Journal Article Versions (NISO RP-8-201x) is in a state that is not defined in the standard. "Project State: In Development" http://www.niso.org/apps...
I wonder how I could cite this. - Back to just Joe

I just noticed that people can't "like" a direct message. Is it too late to request an enhancement?
I can Like direct messages. - Bruce Lewis
Baseball starting tomorrow for the Rockies, Wisconsin in the Championship game, Masters starts this week, and Friendfeed shutting down. Which one doesn't belong?
GO DUKE. - RepoRat
So much institutional loyalty from RR! - Katy S
Wow, ESPN is different.
fiendfeed.com is available for about $10/year.
Happy first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox.

RT @donnalanclos: The point of OA is NOT that it's cheaper, it's that it's more ethical, ultimately more effective scholarly communication
Though there are reasonable reasons to believe it'd be cheaper. - RepoRat
What RR sez. (I can think of 31-40% reasonable reasons without even working on it...) It's for damn sure that OA isn't "just another business model." (Which donnalanclos did not say, but seems now to be Settled Doctrine at SKitch.) - walt crawford

Here are my awesome #lunar #eclipse photos! http://t.co/cqQKwRkAnh
Anyone on FF who doesn't know what that is? - Back to just Joe
I am too much of a cheap ass to get a dslr when my film slr works good enough, and I use it about twice a year. That and the specs always seem to get better each year, so why buy a good dslr now, when I can get a better one next year. - Back to just Joe
The eclipse at moon set over the foothills was awesome. I will show you the pictures once the FILM gets developed.
I missed the eclipse - can't wait to see photos. - Jen
Someone needs to do a downfall of friendfeed closing up shop. Hitler comes to accept losing FF and say, well he could try to use Twitter more at the end.
We could really use Mark Trapp's @friendfeed Downfall video right now but someone falsely DMCA'd it on @youtube. - Spidra Webster

This FB map of baseball fandom (http://www.theatlantic.com/technol...) is also interesting when compared to last year's NYTimes map of baseball fandom. http://www.nytimes.com/interac...
Pity the poor Oakland A's...not even Alameda County, their home base. - walt crawford
The reach of the Yankees is just amazing. Odd that most of NM have a bunch of Yankee fans, or just a bunch of NYers moving south? I'd also think that more of Virginia would be Nationals fans, but they have not had the Nationals for long, so they have not had the time to build up a larger fanbase. - Back to just Joe

Can't stop shaking my head at the idea of "I spent 60% of time on scholarship" No way in hell that would fly here. - Hedgehog
Heartily agree. - Back to just Joe
I said "Proof!" He responded with "Poof!" I replied with "Oof."

Sorry web.archive.org, but the share your thoughts on centrifuges post was not all that important... http://web.archive.org/web...
Seeing what stuff the archive has already saved of mine at the archive. Unusual stuff. http://web.archive.org/web...
Now that's interesting. The archive hasn't saved any of Cites & Insights or waltcrawford.name "because of robots.txt"--which doesn't exist in either directory. OTOH, there are >200 snapshots of Walt at Random. I didn't know you needed an *affirmative* robots.txt for IA to work. - walt crawford
Saw this dude's picture on a chemistry website, and I thought, huh, why is Dave Grohl here? Pretty similar except for the part on different sides and a smile. Is it just me?

Smart people (people who work in my library) are having problems using three bins--trash, recycling, and compost. The problem is A: They are confused by the three bin system. B: They put waste in the first bin they see, no matter what kind of bin it is. C: They don't give a damn.
Pick one. - Back to just Joe
Is that a reasonably universal scheme? (That's how our barrels work.) Wheeling the barrels back yesterday, I was reminded of the issue with doofuses: Namely, how plastic barrels have to have "NO HOT ASHES" molded into the front of the cover. Because, I assume, people were dumping hot ashes into a plastic barrel... - walt crawford
THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE! Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
"Going to the library (especially small, local libraries) is a good option because you don't have to pay and you can bring books back when you are finished. Also, they don't mind you just sitting reading without even taking a book out- this is normal in libraries."
