Het uitdijende digitale universum: van Giga- naar Yobibyte
The expanding digital universe (PDF) is een interessant en overzichtelijk rapport over de ongelooflijke wereldwijde groei van digitale informatie en de opslagcapaciteit die daar voor nodig is. AutomatiseringsGids vat samen:"De gemiddelde Nederlander creëert en kopieert in het jaar 2010 thuis en op het werk bijna 1 terabyte aan digitale informatie. Dit is te vergelijken met maar liefst 25 pc’s met een opslagcapaciteit van 40 GB. In 2007 zal de hoeveelheid gegenereerde digitale informatie wereldwijd voor het eerst de beschikbare opslagruimte ontstijgen.Dit concludeert IDC in het rapport The Expanding Digital Universe,...

The Classics
Trivia question for you - How many tiles are there in a standard Scrabble game?
Clue: It’s the same number as the number of websites recently selected by PC Magazine as classics. Most of my favorites are there - are yours?
In other news, Tonganoxie has given their website a new look and I like it!

Tough Boy Sonatas by Curtis L. Crisler
These are 38 gritty poems from the point of view of young adolescent African-American boys growing up in sooty Gary, Indiana...the armpit of Chicago. Yearning for love, justice, safety, sex, and education, these are hard-hitting poems using sound, rhythm, and form to tell the story of angry poverty and innocent childhood. we slog to library to do reports on satchmo in rustic brick-red afterschool afternoons. little brown-faced hood rats sneaking chocolate-covered donuts into library. don't got milk or red cream soda to stop-stick to roof of mouth. half in study - laughing, hungry amongst tart, stale smell of old books,...

What having a "wired apartment" USED to mean
Here's a story from a very "wired" world -- East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The tagline from The Lives of Others is:
"Before the Fall of the Berlin Wall, East Germany's Secret Police Listened to Your Secrets"
It's no secret how wonderful this film is; it won the Academy Award in 2006 for Best Foreign Language Film.
It's brilliant. I urge you to watch and listen.

A different view of restaurant kitchens
There are many books by or about famous chefs, but Dishwasher: One Man’s Quest to Wash Dishes in all 50 States by Pete Jordan looks at restaurant work from a totally different perspective, from behind the dish washing machine. And the inside view of restaurants and the wages and treatment of some of the workers, made me look at restaurants and their kitchens in a new way. Who knew there was such a thing as the “bus tub buffet” and that workers in the kitchen might be eating whatever is left on a customer’s plate? And some of the kitchens he describes are pretty appalling.

“Happiness seems made to be shared.” Pierre Corneille
So you checked out Youtube and watched some videos but you wondered how hard it would be to put up your own. Well first let’s talk about why. Now that more and more gadgets can record video you may want to share it with friends and family. The problem is sometimes I receive video through email but I may have trouble opening them without special software. However if I go to Youtube, no matter the type of file, I can watch it without even downloading anything. This means if I take some video of a family reunion and want to share it easily I can. Ok, now that the why has been answered how does one post a video. It reall...

Ning, quo vadis?
Op uitnodiging van Steven Verjans mocht ik zojuist kort iets vertellen over Bibliotheek 2.0 @ Ning, tijdens een workshop aan de Open Universiteit in Heerlen - in de marge van Boek in Beeld 2007.De workshop ging over competentieontwikkeling rond jeugdbibliotheekwerk (in een snel veranderende omgeving) en wilde zich onder meer oriënteren op het gebied van formele en informele netwerken. De OU beschikt zelf bijvoorbeeld over het LinT-netwerk maar onderzoekt of het verstandig is meer aansluiting te zoeken bij bestaande netwerken als Bibliotheek 2.0.Ik was virtueel aanwezig, via een applicatie voor videoconferencing van Su...

Finn's Going by Tom Kelly
There were things that I really liked about this book, but I found the writing style distracting. The characters are interesting: the main character is Danny, who has an identical twin Finn, their little sister Angela is deaf, and the parents are not your typical parents. You know from the beginning that something terrible has happened to Finn, and that Danny feels responsible, but you don't get the full story until the very end of the book. There are some funny scenes, like when Angela, after getting knocked over by a big kid on the playground, makes use of some of the rude words Finn and Danny have taught her to sign...
