    That's right, someone to scale tall buildings in the dead of night and paint the Blogher logo in giant purple letters. No wait, that's another job description isn't it. One with a mask and a cape and some kind of super-power. The real Signage Heroine will be responsible for: Taking last year's signage and badge templates and updating and augmenting them for 2006 Reviewing with BlogHer staff to ensure all signs are properly accounted for. There will likely be a two to three dozen signs. Arranging with vendor of choice to have them printed and shipped to conference location.  Read more >

    Miriam blogs at the Flink and works at Flink Design. Lately she does more of the latter than the former. "Hey everyone, listen up" I have an announcement; #1/ Do to a recent acceptance at grad school, and a corresponding (but freakishly un-related) increase in my work-load as a web designer, I am having trouble with blogging as a bi-weekly activity, here or anywhere for that matter. So I am going to have to bid you all adieu, at least as a CE-books for now, and focus on doing some nifty stuff for the conference which you should hear about by months end. #2/ I am looking for a replacement. Here's a description of my ideal candidate.  Read more >

    Happy St.Paddys day everyone. Here are a few pieces of Irish literature for you to sink your teeth into. If you aren't into reading about the Irish then I hope you are out drinking green beer and rubbing short people on the head for good luck. If you sometimes wonder what all the fuss is about, check out The Gyspy librarian's round-up of St.Paddys day information.  Read more >

    This post comes at you via; Jessamyns's delicious links. It's a short anecdote from Feel good librarian called the Power of a Word. An old man with a quavery voice called the desk last night. The first thing he said was, "Bear with me, please. I need the meaning of a word."...  Read more >

    Okay a third pass.. because my Mac just sent a tiny grenade into the land of writing directly into your browser window. I am the books editor here at Blogher, but sometimes, because I love to read, I get a little caught up in the more basic elements of books that is to say, words. What they are good for, the damage they can do, and the fact that a vocabulary used in a techno-social setting is a very powerful thing indeed.  Read more >
