Blogs of Fun
I've been preparing my presentation for the Infopeople webcast on blogging and have enjoyed finding some very creative uses of blogging software. And some that just crack me up!
As one facing severe depression at the thought of W's upcoming campaign (as if posing as Mr. Top Gun didn't signal the start of his campaign)....here's some blogs that might cheer you up!
Blog titled "Sex and the Library" with the tag line -- Detailing the fashion, glamour and humor of the public library -- but what I love is the URL "whereismyhandsantizer.blogspot.com."
Male Librarian Centerfold is fun. Kinda different!
The Well Dressed Librarian is an entertaining blog. I particularly enjoyed the list of ways the US and England differ:
1. People drive on the opposite side of the road.
2. Underwear are called pants.
3. Pants are called trousers.
4. Extra letter "o's" get tucked in in unsuspecting places: i.e. colour, odour
5. Police officers do not carry guns.
6. Pharmacists are called chemists.
7. At the chemists, you have to ask for things like Pepto-Bismal, and Tums. They are kept behind the counter.
8. You can actually have an address without numbers: The Oaks, Bridals End, Berkshire.
9. The mail comes twice a day.
10. They have a Queen, and we have a President. We also have a president who doesn't like queens to get married.
11. Standard TV has 5 channels as of 1997.
12. The Brit's don't celebrate the 4th of July or Thanksgiving. (go figure).
Oh by the way, if you really are concerned that Bush has 100x more money than Kerry, you can now make a recurring donation to the Kerry compaign. I'm in for $50/month. Is that too much to ask to rid our country of a fascist regime??? Ooops, I was trying to be light and happy.
Back to fun. Here's a giggler from The Lipstick Librarian on the problems librarians have socializing with one another at conferences. Here's a teaser "For the past three days, I don't think I had a single conversation that didn't center around what we do. I know it's a librarian conference and all, but heaven help us, I'm sure even nuns get tired of talking about their work, no pun intended." [more] .
And if that didn't cheer you up, the more neurotic of you might find this comforting.
