Why I Google instead of using the library…

theory.isthereason (Free subscription) | 08/26/2008

I found this new library addition, aptly titled “Access Denied“, from the UB Library homepage. Figuring that it’d be useful for my dissertation, I got the dewey decimal location, went to bookshelf on 3rd floor, but I couldn’t find it. Went back to office, got on my Mac, messaged ublibrarian10 on AIM, gave all the [...]

Synthetic head

Eolake Stobblehouse blog (Free subscription) | 04/10/2008

Synthetic girl watches the cursor. I've been notified about this page a couple of times now. I didn't think it worked in my browser, but it turns out the site simply has neglected to show a flash-file-download progress bar, so I thought nothing was happening, and left the site prematurely. I wonder why they used a model who's been partying all night? Or perhaps they just wanted to avoid artificially...

Betsy McKenzie has provided the world of legal blogging a fantastic service: she has compiled a http://outofthejungle.blogspot.com/2008/02/ms-word-rant.html" target=_blank> definitive list of websites trashing Microsoft Word . Bill Gates's word processor probably delivers more anger in our verbally intense profession than any other computer application. Once upon a time I named the now-extinct Ms....

Death to the Search Engine

KR Blog (Free subscription) | 01/26/2008

Every day, I get closer to chucking this whole Internet thing and living in the basement of a real, honest-to-God library, where real information lives and breathes. At the very least, everyone the least bit interested in researching anything should be banned from all search engines. They do nothing but feed advertisers, erode depth of [...]

Microsoft Launches New Ad Campaign for Live Search

SEOCentro - SEO News (Free subscription) | 01/23/2008

In the spirit of its Ms. Dewey experiment, Microsoft has launched a new site, Left vs. Right , which pits opponents from two sides of the political spectrum. Left-leaning "Patrick O'Neil" and right-wing "Britt Hayes" trade barbs about each other's hygiene, political views, and intelligence. As with Ms. Dewey, when a user does not type anything into the search box, the characters wait patiently for...
