Now for a new experiment: moblogging! I’m e-mailing you from my cell phone! Buwahaha!

NYAM Announcement
Every now and then I get news of an event at the Academy. The various research departments hold meetings, talks, and professional get togethers and such like, and some of the topics are pretty interesting, even if you don’t happen to be a medical researcher. At any rate, if it’s open to the public, I’ll post it here, so if you have the time and inclincation, consider attending.
Lectures and Events from the Section on Health Care Delivery for April and May 2005.
Books for Soldiers
From Tompaine.com:
"We all like getting mail, and soldiers stationed far from home or recovering from war injuries in a veterans’ hospital really
like getting mail. So go through your bookcases and closets and dig out
those books you don’t read. Got duplicate copies of books or DVDs? What
about recent magazines? The Books For Soldiers program sends "care pacakages for the mind"—books, DVDs
and magazines for servicemen and women overseas and in hospitals at
home. Just sign into the site, browse soldiers’ book requests and send
your package." ACT NOW
Eureka!
Okay, the XML feed on Livejournal seems to be working now . . . it lists entries in a wacky way, however. But the posts are clearly described by title, post date and time posted, and nothing appears to have been randomly clipped, so I’m in no shape to complain.
Huzzah!
At any rate, if you’re reading this and want to add it to your LJ account, click on the link above, and add the feed to your friends list. If you’re not on LJ, and these instructions are gibberish, then don’t worry about it.
Testing
Here’s an experimental post . . . testing the syndication code.
Edit: Hmm. The feed doesn’t seem to be working . . . I think I have a new project on my hands. I’ll let y’all know.
Syndication
Someone on Livejournal.com wanted me to set up an RSS feed for this site so I went ahead and did it, and I think I got it down. I imagine I’ll hear about whether I succeeded or not soon enough.
Some Articles
I actually forgot to post three articles I’ve been keeping on ye olde hard drive for some time:

Scanning Google for library blogs and here’s what I came up with:
Now to figure out how to make this a permanent link in the left sidebar . . .
Edit: It worked . . . check out the link list on the left sidebar.
Inagural Post
Hi. I’ve been meaning to get this silly thing off the ground since January and since today is the NYTSL reception at NYPL I figured it’s as good a day as any to begin. So, having figured out how to post to this blog, I now need to figure out how to create link lists and sidebars to start providing anyone who ends up here with whatever supplemental material that makes sense to add. I’m going to try to stick to library-oriented topics but the occasional political rant might sneak in from time to time.
More after the reception.
