Latin's really not that hard.
I CANNOT believe one of our classmates asked what "N.B." means. And another one responded with "no brainer."
Mark, it was very nice of you to give her a straight answer. If you hadn't already responded, I might have said something snarky.
I always thought that was general knowledge. At least for anyone with a degree.

Hitler's Xbox
This is one of the best Youtube series I've ever seen. Original movie footage from Downfall.
Hitler Gets Banned (His Ultimate Downfall)
Hitler's Xbox: The Saga Continues Chapter 1
(done by a different user as a response to the above)
Chapter 2
(the grammar is pretty bad on this one, but still funny!)
Chapter 3
(Conclusion)

Heynabonics
This is quite accurate (and features people I actually know.) People in NEPA really do talk like this!

I am now a librarian!
I have finally become a real librarian. How is that, you ask? I have finally been asked the question which has been plaguing members of our profession for years:
Where is the bathroom?
Where is the bathroom?

Arts and Crafts
I am not paying lots of money to get a Master of Library and Information Science so that I can spend my day cutting out letters so I can climb a ladder and tape them to the wall of the student lounge.
This is getting ridiculous.
Of course, I got a compliment from my boss. I guess I did a good job.
Ugh.

Quotation
I love this quotation:
—Croydon (England) Public Librarian L. Stanley Jast, responding on behalf of overseas visitors to a welcoming address by Louisiana Purchase Exposition President David Francis, at the first session of ALA Annual Conference, Oct. 17, 1904, held at the St. Louis World's Fair.
I am inclined to think, sir, that perhaps the two most valuable and satisfactory characteristic products of American civilization are the librarian, on the one hand, and the cocktail on the other. I will not attempt, sir, the delicate question of deciding which is best, but I am given to understand that some of us have sampled both and found them equally satisfactory and equally stimulating.

Quoted:
"We are no longer going to be part of the security forces; we are going to be part of the community."
~Nicholas Parker, lieutenant general in the British army, on its withdrawal from Northern Ireland after a 38-year mission.
Thoughts?

Libraries in Space?
NASA's newest Mars lander is bringing a "library" to Mars. If you ask me, it's less of a library and more of a special collection.
It's also using antiquated technology. If we can't read it, why are we expecting Martians of the future to be able to read it?

There's Latin at the end!
I don't know anything about the article in question and I'm not really a medievalist, (but I am trying!), but this blog entry is fabulous. My favorite Latin saying is at the end.

Classification Web
Is this mess of a web site making anyone else nuts? I'm trying to get Assignment 5 done for Judith. I got part one okay, but part two just doesn't seem to want to work. Is there a trick to it that I'm missing?
I tried the tutorial. Maybe it's the late hour, but it's not really helping. Unfortunately, I've been doing my homework during the day and that's not a good time for it since the Pitt librarians have to work too. Grr.
I think I'm going to give up for the night.
