		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, I signed the first major contract for the company I&#8217;m running. In all honesty, I&#8217;m not entirely sure why I decided to take this on. Sure, it&#8217;s a great project. It&#8217;s useful. Its technically challenging. I&#8217;ll learn a lot. And I really like the team I&#8217;ll be working with. But I can say the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then, I like to try something different. So when people approach me with an idea, I&#8217;m ready to listen. To make a long story short, one of my colleagues found a really interesting technology project in Michigan. The only problem was that if we were going to be involved, we&#8217;d need to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge believer in doing what you say others should be doing. Libraries are dedicated to open access to information. I think that&#8217;s a very good thing because when information is withheld, enormous amounts of energy are wasted duplicate efforts since everyone has to start from scratch. It really limits what you can accomplish. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that people like libraries and say nice things about them, we&#8217;ve had our butts handed to us on a platter over the past few years. We position ourselves as information professionals. However, according to a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, people turn to the Internet, professionals (doctors, financial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like most other people, I think it&#8217;s a good idea to be nice to other people. I also like it when people are nice to me (which is practically always). However, there are times when kindness strikes fear into my heart. Last week, I heard the words I dread most &#8212; &#8220;How ya doin&#8217;? Everything [...]]]></description>

Last night was one of those times. Shirley and I went to an authentic Russian restaurant where we decided to do everything Russian style. At the next table, 4 [...]]]></description>

At the IUG meeting, roughly 1600 dweebs from around the world discuss library systems, particularly those produced by Innovative Interfaces Inc (III). I&#8217;ve been a fixture at these meetings for a number of years, but many people acted surprised to see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the conferences I&#8217;ve attended over the years, my favorite by far is code4lib. It&#8217;s like no other. The level of passion and sense of community is far greater than you&#8217;ll see elsewhere. The spirit of invention, willingness to work hard, and desire to help others reminds me where the bar for excellence really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that&#8217;s always made me nuts is how quick people can be to thwart others from doing anything new based on little more than vague fears. Recently, a school asked a university library where a colleague works if they could download catalog records. The school library was hoping to avoid manually keying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how this wasn&#8217;t on my radar, but today I learned about a pilot project where the Library of Congress is putting photos on Flickr. For those of you who aren&#8217;t librarians, this might not sound like a big deal &#8212; even kids mount lots of photos on Flickr and the combined size [...]]]></description>
