What are those Michaels up to? | Originally uploaded by cindiann A personal shout out to my writing partner at LJ Mr. Michael Casey. We never get to see each other in person, so hanging out at CIL was pretty darn cool. Thanks to Cindi of the incredible photography skills as well for capturing this pic. It’s a little more artistic than the only other photo I have of Michael and I together: Seriously, a big shout out to my friend for inspiring me and getting me to think so much about organizational culture, libraries and tech.

I can already tell from the Flickring etc that Gaming and Gadgets was the place to be last night…sorry I missed. Must be my devious plan to avoid the DDR pad… I have two left feet! If you are attending my talk with Michael Casey, please say hi.

Ouch! http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080321/NEWS01/803210340 SOUTH BEND — Indiana’s new property tax reform law may mean the elimination of Saturday hours at all St. Joseph County Public Library locations, library Director Donald Napoli said.

Thanks everyone for a great first day of presentations. I really enjoyed talking with the attendees in the morning session and the staff of Macquarie University Library in the afternoon. I caught a nasty bug on the plane that has taken a bit of wind out of my sails, but I’m feeling better now. 🙁
