I’m flying to Baton Rouge later today to teach my last “official” class for SOLINET.  Tomorrow is my last day and the end of almost 5 years at this job.  I’ll be teaching Web 2.0: Social Software Applications for Libraries at the Greenwell Springs Road Regional Branch Library (part of E. Baton Rouge Parish Library [...]

At SOLINET we decided to make up these cool Trading Cards!  We are going to give them out to fellow staff members at an upcoming Training Showcase so they will hopefully all know who we are and what we do - especially with a lot of changes of staff and some staff who are off-site.

As the title shows, I’m in Madisonville, KY at the moment. I was thinking on the drive over here from Benton this afternoon after class, that I used to be more open to taking side trips on the way somewhere. I remember being in Wyoming and going “off road” to see the sights [...]

My flight was supposed to leave at 2:19 pm today and it finally left (the tarmac) at 6:45 pm. I’m in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to teach the last two of the Rural Library Sustainability Workshops here and then another in Alexandria on Wednesday. It’s weird to think that I have been working on [...]

I flew down to Tampa on Thursday to teach a class - “Marketing Your Virtual Library” for a group of awesome librarians at the Ocala Public Library (for NEFLIN). This library used to be a grocery store - much like the library I was in, in Ruston, Louisiana in April. I spoke to [...]

No I’m not a Runner and no I’m not going escaping elimination, but I am heading home to the US finally tomorrow. I am back in Melbourne staying here and about to go exploring to see what I missed when I was here before.
In the past week:

I have flown from Brisbane to Christchurch
taught a [...]

Ok so no jokes about the name of the state I am in (and by that I mean one of the states of Australia.) I arrived in Brisbane on Tuesday evening after teaching two days in Sydney. So Sydney was unfortunately very short, but I hope to go back someday. Brisbane is [...]

I arrived in Sydney about 3 pm local time yesterday (Sunday.) After I checked into the hotel (a very nice place - the Menzies Sydney Hotel), I changed and walked down to Circular Quay (about 3-4 blocks from the hotel). This is where I got my first look a the famous Sydney Opera [...]

I am still in Melbourne at the moment, and working this week. I’m teaching at a fantastic training facility in the CBD (Central Business District) in Melbourne. I’m meeting up with some librarians from Yarra Plenty Regional Library on Thursday to talk about blogging etc. in their libraries, and then head to Sydney [...]

Well not really. Maybe I am. But what I mean is I found out today at least initally where I will be staying in Melbourne when I arrive next Tuesday. I definitely am starting to get excited about this trip. Not that excitement wasn’t in my head before, but honestly so [...]
