Library Science

Library science has always fascinated me. First, because I love books, second because I’m an extremely disorganized person. It always seemed simple enough – far too simple to be something you actually need a college degree in. Now, finally, I understand why! You’ve got to be trained professional to install fish tanks in the Library … Read more

Moffat on a Hat Trick

And this couldn’t be any more richly deserved… Future Doctor Who Executive Producer Steven Moffat has scooped his third Hugo Award in a row.

This location is at the Arrowhead Towne Center which must have been a difficult choice for Apple. Apple seems to like to choose upscale shopping venues, but those are few and far between on the west side … Read more
