a few worthwhile things from the internet

.
Every so often I rue the fact that this part of my website is really more of a journally thing than a bloggy thing. Sometimes I have internet things that I want to refer to that don’t fit on librarian.net. This is one of those times. Here are those things.

I made a post on MetaFilter […]

data

Talked to Ola and she says “April.”
