USA TODAY: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2005-01-06-thursday-delays_x.htm?csp=34 Officials at Chicago O’Hare have already canceled 300 flights for Thursday, which comes on top of the more than 900 canceled there Wednesday. As one of the nation’s busiest connecting hubs, that spelled problems for travelers Thursday. Yes… that includes me. I just rescheduled to a flight at 6am tomorrow because United had nothing to DFW today or tonight. I am SUPPOSED to be all bright and shiny in the classroom at 9am. Instead, I should be landing in Dallas at 9am and hightailing it to Denton ASAP. I haven’t heard from anyone else in the cohort […]

I am relaxing…watching movies..playing with the boys… we’ll see you in 2005! Best to all for a safe and happy holiday!
I feel validated today: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/internetlife/2004-12-08-need-to-unplug_x.htm?csp=34 I am finishing a huge project for school this week and next. It’s independent study with Dr. Maurice Wheeler at UNT. I’m designing a class for doc students examining how technology has impacted Public libraries. One of the themes is the “unintended consequences” of technology. I am hurtling toward unplugging through Christmas though. The idea of a break from the keyboard is attractive right now… Do not fret – I will be back…we have so much cool stuff to look at and talk about here at TTW as libraries continue to meet technologies in new […]
I presented my research proposal. This is the PPT I used. It has flaws but take a look… I learned a lot from this and realize I have a lot to do to get a study going.
I’m off to Denton tomorrow for our last weekend of class for the year! I’ll write from there. I’m presenting my paper about Blogs and virtual communities to the class Friday morning.
This evening I finished an update to the whole TTW site I sent it up… a CSS error was quickly fixed by Aaron and TTW 2.0 is ready to go! Take a look..let me know if you find something crazy or wrong! Tame the Web
TTW posts will be on hiatus (unless I jot down a quick one in a moment of inspiration) while I finish my research proposal due Sunday night. My topic? The Blogosphere as virtual community. I’ll be back next weekk — but guess what – I head to Texas on Thursday for class… the last of the semester! It’s snowing hard here in northern Indiana. I’m glad to be home a few days to write and be with the boys.
I have not written about this yet because I’ve been so busy with school and the two Internet Librarian conferences but I wanted to post a quick note here. You may have noticed the banner on the lefty hand side now lists my new title — Special projects Librarian. This came about because while head of Networked Resources Development and Training, I started school and went part time. Then I lost two memebrs of my team to advanced aopportunities at other places! (Way to go Dale and Bob!) It did not sit well with me to be a PT manager […]
