RSS update

I've just been checking my RSS feeds and have found some interesting stuff! Like Leonard Cohen is 73 and performing live to great acclaim. Being a Leonard Cohen fan from the 70s it does my heart good to see that 'music to slit your wrists by' is still appreciated. This was from the Guardian.co.uk.Books feed. Neil Diamond is 67 and also still performing to appreciative audiences - I bet they're not climbing trees to watch him.. Hullo Tree People!

On Librarian.net they mentioned the Internet Public Library. It seems to be like our Ask a Librarian but American based. All new stuff to me! Very apt cartoon that says - Public Library: Like Wikipedia only it takes 4 hours!

How about this one: Librarian fired for writing book on patrons - "A library employee in this Lake Michigan resort community has been fired for writing a book that describes a range of unpleasant patrons, from the merely unpleasant to online sex fiends, in a town she calls "Denialville." Imagine what we could write about some of our customers!

And my final interesting item - the diaries of George Orwell are being released daily in blog form 70 years after he wrote them. Check it out at:
