6:05a - book carts (short note)
Short note:
We had a great time! All the teams were good, some of them were great (but we were the only ones whose cheering section had signs). We came in 7 out of 14.
I only took a few photos. I hope we get a copy of the video.

8:03a - My new side project
Last year, I started posting occasionally on LISNews.com. As I do here, I point to interesting articles, but they're all about libraries.
A month ago, I started a new weekly posting called "This Week in LibraryBlogland" (a bit of a mouthful), sort of highlighting the previous week's noteworthy library-related blog posts I run across. The first week was easy, since there was a holiday weekend and not many people posted. The next two weeks were more work because I added a lot more blogs to my reading/skimming list. I think I'm up to 100 or so (with a dozen more on an auxiliary list). I think I finally have a bit of a system going, so it shouldn't take as much time to do as it has been.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing.

10:56a - Start downloading
BBC Cult closes 15 July.
This site shuts next month. Bye, then!
Sadly, as part of the restructuring of the BBC's online activities, this site is closing at the end of the month.
We're trying to find alternative bbc.co.uk homes for some sites, but much of the content will be removed from the servers, and that which remains will not be maintained.
We'd like to thank all our users (700,000 of you last month!), and to everyone who expressed an opinion of us in the BBC's Online Audience survey (we nearly came top - beaten only by those pesky News people).
The team have had a wonderful six years looking after the site, and hope you continue to enjoy the BBC's online offerings.
PS: Don't worry about the Doctor Who site. It's safe.
