Destination: Crystal City Virginia for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infotoday.com\/cil2009\/speakers.asp?speaker=JessamynWest\">Computers in Libraries<\/a> conference. I&#8217;m giving a few talks (<a href=\"http:\/\/librarian.net\/talks\/cil2009\">preview<\/a>) and mostly getting a chance to catch up with librarian pals and do a little (more) travelling. Next weekend I&#8217;ll be on a panel at a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.yale.edu\/intellectuallife\/library2.htm\">Library 2.0 Symposium<\/a> at Yale which will be an interesting affair where I expect to do much more listening than talking.<\/p>\n<p>This photo is from a recently solved problem. I took some of those poster hanger doinker things and stuck them to my 80\u00c2\u00b0   walls and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/sets\/72157615943650990\/detail\/\">now I have a place to display my poscards<\/a>. I&#8217;m planning to get a ton more of the stuff and make my angley walls into an ever-changing art gallery. Buying the hangers in sets of two is a little spendy relative to their wholesale price, so for the first time in I think ever I&#8217;m thinking of a scheme whereby I buy hundreds of feet of the stuff from the wholesaler and then start a little business selling the stuff on eBay. Because I need a new hobby\/business\/money-making scheme like I need another hole in my head.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of money, I went to the bank down the street to deposit my change jars. My sister (whose birthday is tomorrow, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/casahighland\">wish her a merry one<\/a>) has something of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bandit\/3390544382\/in\/set-72157615904323103\/\">change problem<\/a> and I wanted to do a little proactive change hygeine. So I brought my change jars to the bank. It went like this&#8230; I put my two big jars of money on the counter. The banker lady filled out a deposit slip asking &#8220;How much do you think is in there?&#8221; I said I wasn&#8217;t sure. She said &#8220;Guess.&#8221; So I said &#8220;Okay, $150. Maybe?&#8221; She filled out the slip and said they&#8217;d count the change and mail me the deposit slip with the actual amount on it. She said I could come back later for my jars. I sort of can&#8217;t wait to see how much was in there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2009\/03\/change\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to change\"><p>We had two days of sunshiney melt here and had that day where everyone goes for a walk outside and says &#8220;Oh hi, how have you been since you went inside for Winter?&#8221; when they run into their neighbors that they haven&#8217;t seen for months.
