Oh hey, I'm late to the books party. I was in warm, gorgeous (and gnat-filled) Savannah for a work conference and WHOOSH. Gone went the blog. Thank heavens I actually smartened up and wrote a lot of this as I reviewed each book, like so many on the linkup do. I am a SHINING example of a kid who was Talented and Gifted and ended up a completely average adult. On to the books! I use the Goodreads reviewing system, which is: Over the last few years, I've been striving to read more works by ...
Lynda, the Library, and me
The Big!Work!Project! which surely you are tired of hearing of by now involved new software, and a new-to-us way of writing reports. It's Crystal Reports, which while it's new-to-us, isn't very new-to-me. I was using it over 10 years ago at the C-P, and I won't lie, seeing it re-emerge sent a shiver of dread down my spine.

Friday Five: Accessories

Time for the Friday Five! This week's theme is Accessories... 1. What was the last computer accessory you ...
Holding pattern
My job at TNP entitles me to a free Philadelphia Library Card! I've only been there in person once, but once I mastered the eBook borrowing learning curve, I'm having a great time borrowing eBooks. Here's my list of holds: I'm sure that at least three of them are going to become available at the same time. :/ ...
A trip to the library
It was warm at lunch, and I didn't really feel like staying in. What to do? How about a field trip to the brand new Cherry Hill Library! (My stars, the wonders I could do if unleashed on their website...) I don't remember the old Cherry Hill Library. I used to frequent the Voorhees branch of the Camden County library - now called the M. Allan Vogelson branch. (Judge Vogelson officially divorced my parents. Some names stick with you) . The "Vogelson" was a spiffy place to be in the mid 70s. ...
