LJ craziness
So, when I went to read my friends page this morning, I was hit with "Adult Content" warnings. I get logged out now and again, it happens.

LAPL Rare Books
I got a tour of the Rare Books department on Saturday, thanks to Emma Roberts. In addition to the oldest, most expensive, and most-at-risk-of-theft books in our collection, the department also houses some of the library’s more unique (if not monetarily valuable) collections.

Pimping my library work
Come see what I've been working on, including the video I did voice-over narration for last week (as well as the PowerPoint presentation it was based on, and the video editing, and the post-editing processing to get the correct codecs involved...) on display in front of the Art Department entrance, next to the posters I did the graphic design for ( Read more... ) -
