Now, It Can Be Told

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

After a little over two years processing, referencing, and cataloging, and hacking at AIP, I’m skipping up to the City That Never Sleeps to join Jay Datema, Josh Greenberg, and company in the NYPL Labs. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thrilled about this opportunity, and I’m ready to see where my new [...]

Sticking My Neck Out

Monday, May 7th, 2007

It’s been some time since I’ve had a substantive post, and I don’t really intend to write one now. I figured I should mention, however, that I’ve been featured lately in print and in the blogosphere. Jessamyn West of librarian.net interviewed me for an article (”Saving Digital History”) in Library Journal netConnect. In addition, I [...]

Five Non-Library Blogs I Read

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

I won’t bother waiting to be tagged to do this, because all the cool kids already are. I read too many blogs already, so here we go.

Mary Eats is, as one would easily assume, a blog about food. Mary started the blog while she and her husband were living in Korea, and thus there’s an [...]

Braindump

Monday, March 5th, 2007

I’m really behind on posting, and I apologize. There are a few action items that I should mention before I clear my brain to allow me to start posting things with actual content.

ArchivesBlogs moved, but mail to archivesblogs.com was not working for a while. A few people mentioned this to me, but I didn’t get [...]

ArchivesBlogs update: service links

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

I’ve upgraded Plagger (the software behind ArchivesBlogs) to the latest version and it’s allowed me to add service links to del.icio.us, unalog, digg, Reddit, and Technorati. I suppose I could add more (ma.gnolia, Furl, etc.), but I’ll hold off doing that for the sake of cluttering the interface for the time being. If you have [...]

Report from SAA: Archival Solidarity and International Cooperation

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

This report is coming to you from the cool, air-conditioned comfort of the Nevin Kelly Gallery, where Julia works. I met up with her for lunch and now I’m taking advantage of the connectivity here to catch up on e-mail, my RSS subscriptions, and other stuff.
The Archival Solidarity Session was really great and generated a [...]

Mid-November 2005 updates: Dalliance off the ground! Site changes galore! DC Not Bad!

Friday, November 11th, 2005

I’ve finally gotten around to doing some serious work on the site. I’ve completed the first post for Dalliance, my MP3 blog, and it’s about one of my favorite songwriters ever, Dr. Franklin Bruno. I’ve also figured out some of the odd intricacies of Drupal and am finally getting this site to have a look [...]

Off on my way: in transition to Washington, DC

Monday, August 29th, 2005

I’m pleased to announce that I will be joining the staff of the National Anthropological Archives and Human Studies Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution’s Department of Anthropology as a project archivist. I will have two initial primary responsibilities:

cataloging Plains Indian ledger art for the non-profit ARTstor Project,
and original cataloging and bibliographic enhancement of [...]
