Crown beats the Cadets The Cadets have been on top (or damn near) for the duration of the relatively short time I’ve followed DCI. For a fairly new corp to come along and upset one of the top scoring corps… Well, check out this YouTube user for full shows from Crown, Cadets and Crusaders (placing […]

Aidan’s Darcy trilogy
I have finally finished reading Pamela Aidan’s Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy. I promised that I would post something here when I finished, so here are some thoughts. NOTE: I’ve made an effort to minimize the number of spoilers but this IS a review (of sorts); there are bound to be a few extremely mild spoilers.
The Indiana Daily Student ran a review of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf on Tuesday and I completely forgot to post it. You can find it here. I was playing around in my LibraryThing account and discovered a cool widget that I will have to put on the blog. Until I do, be it known […]

Luckily, the keyboard was easily cleaned and the $125 book I was cataloging at the time remained pristine. Nothing like hand lotion to grease up your hair. Grimace. […]

The show runs tonight also, should anyone be looking for […]

I can see the usefulness of having reference books such as this one in electronic format. I can save a copy and […]

LibraryThing
I’ve been meaning to create an account at LibraryThing for quite some time now but the thought of cataloging my entire library… I would definitely need to upgrade to a paid account ($25 for a lifetime membership seems pretty reasonable to me). I decided to add a few books to my library that I’m currently […]
The Free Library of Philadelphia blog pointed me to this post at Centripetal Notion: go ask google or wikipedia who Brian Dettmer is and then check out some of his artwork. Blink. I am completely stunned. I can’t stop looking. Amazing. I haven’t had a lot of exposure to altered books (what I’ve seen thus […]
