"We should not see print and electronic literature as in competition, but rather in conversation.
The more voices that join in, the richer the dialogue is likely to be."

To limit the press is to insult a nation;
to prohibit reading of certain books is
to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.

"Librarians perform a political role: When officials start banning books and looking over people's shoulders to see what they're reading, librarians raise hell. They always do this. It is their job to defend the freedom to read, and it is a job that will never be put out of business by a machine."

—Editorial, "Today's Libraries: Cauldrons of Ideas," Seattle Times, Jan. 19.

All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape.
It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.

Title: What 2006 Taught Us.

This article from the Tampa Tribune is a fun compendium of science headlines from the past year. The list is decidedly lacking, having no mention at all of the explosive power of Mentos and Diet Coke. Still it is a very entertaining and educational record. Here are my top twelve from his list of fifty.

"Consider this list - culled from dozens of news stories from 2006 - your chance to catch up."

You are the Hermit card.
The Hermit

The Hermit has chosen a solitary spiritual path. He shines light on his inner self and, by this means, gains wisdom. The Hermit's home is the natural world and it is by being in tune with that world that he learns the laws of nature and learn how they operate within himself. His path is a lonely one as he lives in silence and has for companionship only his own internal rhythms. But those crossing his path are touched by his light and wisdom. Though often alone, he manages nevertheless to instruct those who meet him and guides those who chose to follow him on a path towards enlightenment. Image from The Aleister Crowley Tarot deck.

Which Tarot card are you? Take the quiz at Quizilla.

"Who are you?" quizzes are a very special part of the internet culture. Some are rather clever and well thought out. Some are absolute dreck, to put it nicely. I admit that I have a general fondness for them, so when I find one that I like I'll be sharing it. I like to think that the results of this one are fairly accurate. Even if they aren't, it is nice artwork.

People become librarians because they know too much.
Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories.
They cannot be confined to disciplines.
Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing.
They bring order to chaos.
They bring wisdom and culture to the masses.
They preserve every aspect of human knowledge.
Librarians rule.
And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.

Title: Perversion for Profit

Words fail me.

Perversion for Profit is an old anti-pornography movie from 1965. It has to be seen to be believed. It's about 14 minutes long, so give yourself some time to watch. There is a special place in hell for the people who made this movie.
