It was raining at my parent's house. I took some video of it! Love the sounds, especially the thunder towards the end.

Michael Porter and I like to make videos. Music videos. Music videos about libraries! Remember our last one? Well we have a new one coming out called Library 101! We plan to debut it at Internet Librarian 2009 (during our presentation about making videos on October 28), and we are pretty stoked about it, too! Why, you ask? Well The music rocks harder than last time We have turned up the video production a few notches (Michael is turning into quite the video producer!) We have a website complete with essays from some amazing people We found a sponsor (thanks, Information Today!) But most important the message. Library 101 tells a story. A story about the evolution of libraries and librarians. Historically, we grew and evolved to a certain point. Some of us are continuing to evolve, others are not quite there yet but are working to get there. The goal of our song, our video, the website and essays? To inspire you to grow, to evolve, and to change your communities! Michael does a great job of explaining Library 101 on Maurice Coleman’s regular T is for Training podcast. Take a listen. And more importantly, take a listen and a look on October 28 I will post the video as soon as it goes live, so stay tuned! Photo by libraryman Share:

Freak Out, Geek Out, Or Seek Out: Trends, Transformations Techfest is a testament to that!). Keep an eye on this library they re doing some pretty cool things. It was a fun presentation to do for a dynamic group of people. So thanks, Anythinkers! Share:

Sometimes I like to pick up my guitar and create a random song on the spot. This is one of them. The difference this time? I decided to plug in the guitar, and I wore a lapel mic. Which resulted in pretty fine-sounding guitar ... and pretty "eh" vocals. I'll have to work on that! Either way, hope you enjoy the silliness (and the tune, for what it's worth).

Video about Podcamp Topeka - mainly my thoughts on how it went. Also a couple shots of sessions thrown in.

I recently visited Salt Lake City Public Library, and thought it was pretty cool... so I'm sharing the experience with you!
