One of my biggest things since starting my new job is to bring lunch. I don’t want to end up buying lunch all the time. One thing I miss about my old job – free lunches! Thank goodness I’m all about bento boxes. I have four now, plus random tupperware-type things. Here are my two… Continue reading Lunchtime!!!
Look at the sunny side
I went to SF yesterday and saw this on the sidewalk while checking out the Painted Ladies.
Mmm! Curry!
I ended up going to the city today. Mmm. Katsu Curry!
Day One
I’m challenging myself to do a photo a day. Here’s my view of the Bay – blocked by Warren Hall. It’s a gorgeous view and will be better soon. I like the lines present in this shot. I’m a dork.
I miss #il2012 already!
Internet Librarian (#il2012) is easily my most favorite conference. I always learn something new, meet someone new, and get the chance to share new things going on with me with the library community. It was a crazy, whirlwind week, with two conferences within two weeks. I’ll use that as an excuse for the delay in… Continue reading I miss #il2012 already!
On the need for a conversation
These past two weeks, I’ve spent them considering what to do for some conference/paper proposals. As an exercise in becoming a better, more proficient writer, I figured I should start to write down my ideas and see if I can get a conversation started about them. There’s a call out for the gameRT for proposals… Continue reading On the need for a conversation
On programming, and picking up skills that I should have developed before…
Ever since I started this job, I’ve been thinking in the back of my head that I’ll have to end up doing a bunch of programming – just for my own benefit. It’s now come to this – I’ll have to step up my game with Processing. Reason: I have a touch table in my… Continue reading On programming, and picking up skills that I should have developed before…
When teaching your first class, talk slower!
I taught my first infolit class a week or two ago. I think it went well. As well as it could have gone considering it was the first college class I’ve ever taught! Yup. I’m an academic librarian. So excited. One thing I learned while I was teaching that class was that I talk really… Continue reading When teaching your first class, talk slower!
A lesson in collective nostalgic hysteria
I started this post on BART on my way home from a Jeff Mangum concert and it was definitely an experience. The concert itself was good. Honestly, having never heard Jeff Mangum/Neutral Milk Hotel before I started dating B, it wasn’t on my radar. The band is good, not necessarily my cup of tea though…… Continue reading A lesson in collective nostalgic hysteria
(Lesson) Planning for the Future
I sometimes like to sit here and fantasize about what I’ll be doing in the future. I’d love to teach again, and not just literacy/library/research related courses. Like actual, random, curricular courses. Much like how UCLA had the Fiat Lux program, I’d love the opportunity to propose a class and teach it. One class I’m… Continue reading (Lesson) Planning for the Future
