How many raindrops make a storm?

"An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run." -Sidney J. Harris

There's so much to like about Boston. I'm surprised how much I felt connected to the Holocaust memorial. I know I have Jewish roots. The memorial beckons me to explore them.

new perspective

I'm glad my son's blogging about his experience as a code warrior. To be honest about it, I didn't really understand how much time, effort and heart went into this "little" project. So here's a public, heart-felt "Thank you!" for a job well done...

THANK YOU, JOE!

Welcome to Fincast

Wow what a day. The 4th of July and an unusual one at that.

I'm pleased to announce that my podcast is officially named, up and running, not just as a posted .mp3 audio file, but as a true, automatically-downloading-into-your-audio-player-via RSS-feed-Podcast. What does that mean? Simply that you can now subscribe to FINCAST here, or continue to listen to it via this blog, here.

Thanks to CodeFin for the original code to make this magic happen.

A few posts ago I shared some quickly edited excerpts of interviews with librarians about Pioneer, Utah's Online Library. The segment ran almost five minutes (4:20). Long ago I learned that shorter pieces are almost always stronger than their more verbose parents (hmm...is there a generational lesson here?) and so I worked to cut the piece differently, more effectively and shorter for last Friday's meeting of the UEN Steering Committee.

Here's the 2:07 version...
