Hello Universe ...

... because "hello world" is such a cliche. This post marks the debut of my personal blog. I am also an occasional contributor to the blogs at Jackson Library, but like most of us, there is more to me than my professional life.
So at this very moment I am sitting in Lynda's awesome Web 2.0 class on blogging. She claims that nobody is making us publish a blog, but as a class exercise we are encouraged and instructed to create one on Blogger (a Google product, of course). In so doing we are joining a thriving, even bustling, community of library bloggers.
Next up: Twitter, a timely topic since it was featured on the front page of the New York Times today. Apparently Twittering makes little or no sense unless or until one acquires some followers. Does that mean that if I have no followers I don't need to Twitter?
Here we go!
