Tombrarian

I know, I know, I’ve said before that Tombrarian is the place where memes go to die, but this one is too good to pass up. Maybe because I’m a word person, but Pattern Recognition tagged me for creating a Wordle tag cloud based on a book. Well, I’m taking liberties and made a tag cloud for the Disgusting English Candy Drill from Gravity’s Rainbow, which, for my money, may just be the funniest thing ever written (which may say more about my sense of humor than anything):

I’m tagging: Librarian by Day, The Strange Librarian, and The Wee Librarian

Here’s another comment about the library world coming from outside the library world. Thomas Hawk, the excellent photographer of Thomas Hawk’s Digital Connections, comments on Sony’s assertion that its new book reader is “sexier than a librarian:”

“Sony says that their new book reader thingy is “sexier than a librarian.” There is just no way I’m buying that one. Nice try though Sony. I’m sure the reader’s probably just fine *but* no way is it sexier than a librarian.”

There also are some funny comments on his photo hosting site. I leave it up to you to decide the level of sarcasm.

I will break my long, busy silence with this funny bit: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/new_google_products061016.pdf.

Well, that was easier and less time-consuming than actually writing something!
