ABC News' Brian Ross' report on how John McCain's VP candidate Sarah Palin bullied and fired the town librarian in Wasilla, Alaska after she refused to ban three books. This is pretty damning stuff. Do you want this vengeful and censorious woman a heartbeat away from the presidency? ABC article here: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5766173

Academic Library 2.0 Keynote Speaker: Meredith Farkas, Distance Learning Librarian Norwich University, Northfield A Conference sponsored by the Librarians Association of the University of California, Berkeley Division Once a symbolic bastion of traditional accumulations of specialized knowledge, today's academic library operates in an information landscape grown increasingly variegated and difficult to traverse. Paradoxically, at the same time, data, information, knowledge, cultural production, and scholarship are far more accessible, appropriable, and manipulable than ever before. New media attract widespread attention, more pliable technologies emerge with increasing frequency, and--most importantly--young generations of students and faculty with aptitudes, skills, and expectations borne of a world massively defined by the Internet and its progeny are populating the halls of academe. The convergence of the once distinct technological and social meanings of the term "network" is evident in the rise of communities of remote collaborations among friends, acquaintances, students, and researchers. These developments compel academic libraries to consider how best to apply new technologies to suit users' demands and to satisfy their institutional and educational missions. The Academic Library 2.0 conference will address the phenomenon of academic libraries taking affirmative steps to deploy technologies and services that facilitate users' virtually instant connection to diverse sources of knowledge and information, as well as to help users directly contribute form and substance to those sources.

For all those of you who have loved, lost, loathed, lamented and generally lived in libraries this film is for you. In this mockumentary WTE takes its usual tactic of wholesale mockery and japery as we turn the spotlight on librarians themselves. At the same time it cocking a snoot at some of the pretensions and common tropes embodied within the profession itself However, in no regards should this film be considered zany. Lord knows I try to avoid being zany on a daily basis. This film is also a satirical response to those whom seem intent on deifying librarians as something more than human, as Hollywood celebrity librarians if you will. Caution contains a (badly) rapping weasel and goose!

This is a clip of Terry Fator's bit on the Chicago auditons of America's Got Talent. The most talented ventriloquist I've ever seen!

Much to the chagrin of a tempermental librarian Cookie Monster can't seem to comprehend that libraries don't have cookies. My mom loves this skit for some reason.

This is a talk (ok, a long talk, ~30 minutes) about whether Google's Book Search project -- called "massive copyright infringement" by the American Association of Publishers, is "fair use"? It is.

Lecture 3 by Julie Zelenski for the Programming Abstractions Course (CS106B) in the Stanford Computer Science Department. Julie goes over C++ libraries and explains what they are and how they are useful. She continues to introduce C++ basics, including strings, various operators on strings and comparing two strings and takes special note that C++ is an 'industrial language' and does not guarantee anything and that the programmer has to be more attentive to finding his/her own bugs.

Twilight Zone references- Rod Sterling's opening lines and appearance in the introduction video during the queue-- " Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize is a maintanence service elevator, still in operation (and) waiting for you. We invite you if you dare to step aboard because in tonight's episode, you are the star. And this elevator travels directly to...the Twilight Zone. " are directly lifted from the episode It's a Good Life. There is a display case in the exit hallway of the Tower Of Terror attraction at Disneyland that contains two items relating to the A Thing about Machines episode. One is a typewriter (with the GET OUT OF HERE FINCHLEY message); the card next to it reads "Almost Writes By Itself". There is also an electric razor; its card reads "Has A Long Cord - Can Follow You Everywhere". The queue at California Adventure features a reference to the Twilight Zone episode "Little Girl Lost." Chalk marks on the wall are in the same place they were in the episode when trying to find where the portal to find the girl was. This can be found in the upper level of the boiler room next to the attraction warning signage. Periodically the girls voice can be heard calling out for help from the wall and from the radios around the boiler room. Outside the libraries at DCA, in the glass case adjacent to the doors there is a gold thimble accompanied by a card that reads, "Looking for a gift for Mother? Find it in our Gift Shop!" This is a reference to the Twilight Zone episode "The After Hours" The floor indicator for each of the service elevators shows that the Hollywood Tower Hotel only has 12 floors, but the arrow moves past the 12 indicating a supposed 13th floor. This is another reference to "The After Hours", recalling the experience of the main character who was sent to the 9th floor of the department store that only had eight floors. One of the shafts at DCA (called Charlie shaft by its cast members) features the mirror scene below the hallway scene while the other two (Alpha and Bravo) feature it in the opposite position. This is because the engineering room (which contains all the computers that operate the attraction) is located behind the mirror scenes for Alpha and Bravo. Both of the elevator exit areas of the Florida ride contain a display featuring, among other things the ventriloquist dummy "Caesar" from the Twilight Zone episode "Caesar and Me." In the lobby of the hotel on a dusty couch sits Talky Tina from the Twilight Zone episode Living Doll, at California Adventure. In the library, the Mystic Seer machine from the episode Nick of Time can be seen sitting on the high shelf. At DCA, an envelope with the name Rod Serling can be found in both libraries, near the sliding wall, a reference to the episode "A World of His Own". In Library 1, it sticks out of the top of the green books. In library 2, it sits in front of the books. The green books contain titles of selected "Twilight Zone" episodes. Other books in the libraries are in various languages from around the world, including German and Danish. According to Imagineers[citation needed], the attraction at DCA contains no Hidden Mickeys. This is because Imagineers wanted to put more effort into references from the Twilight Zone. In Florida's queue just before the library, there is a board with white letters that announce various events scheduled at the hotel. Some of the letters have fallen to the bottom, and if you peer into the case, you can see that they spell out "EVIL TOWER U R DOOMED." These letters have since been removed. Several petitions on the Internet are active in hopes of returning the letters to the directory in the Florida lobby.[citation needed] The trumpet from A Passage for Trumpet can be seen in the display while exiting the libraries. As the ride comes to a stop in Florida the slot machine from the Twilight Zone episode The Fever can also be seen. disneyland disneyland disneyland disney's california adventure disney's california adventure adventureland tomorrowland fantasyland toontown magic kingdom animal epcot frontierland vintage retired yesterland old home movies great moments lincoln main street usa cinema star tours space mountain honey i shrunk the audience captain eo peoplemover mission to mars america sings innoventions skyway autopia carousel of progress matterhorn bobsleds alice in wonderland pinocchio's daring journey peter pan's flight snow white's scary adventure disneyland youtube poop circarama american journeys tokyo disneyseas
