Blogging and Byways

A wonderful thing about this course has been the diversions down the laneways of the blogosphere. Quite randomly I came across Stephen Fry’s blog. (I think I was checking out a Rollyo search constructed by Dogsister) and he was so amusing and erudite that I had to subscribe. Imagine my surprised and sort of gratification yesterday when the subject of his “blessay” (his combination of blog and essay, not mine) was Addiction. I felt he must be speaking to me, considering it was the subject of my own post earlier that day. I couldn’t resist making a comment (yet another registration!). I have been impressed with the thoughtfulness of the many comments.
And in my frequent reading of Dave Pattern's blog - see last post, I thought I would also share this amusing cartoon found on his blog but sourced from Salon, about how the Dewey system in Libraries is destroying publishing. Have a laugh.
And lastly, in today's update of Tame the Web Michael Stephens talked about his excitement at his prospective trip to Australia. Apparently he will be running a very relevant sounding seminar called "The Hyperlinked Library".
