  3. ALA209. Major library news came by to find out what was new with LibraryThing. A lot. Left when we didn't have a press release.
  4. @LuxMentis Rare ones bought later. But buy a random new book and wait for appreciation, and you will discover books are bad investments!
  5. R @MASmedios Besides creating an offensive religious & racial classification, he discriminated against Jews and sexually harassed employees.
  6. @LuxMentis Are we logrolling? :)
  7. LA Times: "Supermax prison tells inmate that Obama's books harmful to national security" http://tinyurl.com/ns3mdo (via @bookpatrol)
  8. @msw1066 Also, books are an *investment*, right? (The worst investment in the world...)
  9. Compared Dewey Decimal System to the Stanley Steamer. Then realized Dewey's silly system predates steam automobiles by 26 years.
  10. RT @LuxMentis Rare Istanbul Manuscripts Online http://is.gd/1secx — Hope they find the Tk. trans. of lost books of Polybius during scan :)
  11. @klarusu What's funny about that is, when I first said it, it was absurd-ironic. Now LT is, if not a gold pile, a successful site, career.
  12. @saintlukas Literally?
  13. RT @BoingBoing @MosesHawk: Wal-Mart's Twitter Account Comes with a 3,379-word Terms of Use Agreement http://tinyurl.com/le2fdw
  14. RT @jessamyn NYTimes credits MetaFilter w/ the manipulated photo takedownown. http://bit.ly/86hLU #mefi — NICE!
  15. @saintlukas The problem is all the other data. Books we can handle. DVD and CDs, partially. Video games? Software? No.
  16. Bingo! I think we now know why Amazon is restricting mobile use of their data—they bought Snaptell. See http://tinyurl.com/mpuvzc
  17. Interview with me, done by Anna Ritchie, published. I talk too much! http://bit.ly/4vME1H
  18. @bradburns9 When you catalog enough books, you get the naked dancing girls reward animation. Would I lie?
  19. @niathena Yeah, it's depressing. We are contemplating going Amazon-free. Hard to do.
  20. @skeskali Drat. My wife shows no signs of becoming a student again. Wonder if Kindergarten son qualifies...
