Amp’d mobile implodes

Tech Crunch is reporting that Amp’d Mobile is declaring bankruptcy. This is only of interest to me because they have an exclusive phone that my husband LOVES. I hope it becomes available elsewhere (Verizon) soon.

Movable type goes open source

It was only last month that I finally made the switch from Movable Type to Word Press. A big part of the reason I made the switch was that I am committed to open source software. Well, now Movable Type has announced they’re going open source. Darn.

nirak.net way back

I just looked at the wayback machine entries for nirak.net. None of them are complete- most are missing the background, rollover graphics, etc. I’m struck by how often I changed my design. I don’t remember the address I used before nirak.net, so the sites I had from 1998-2000 are lost forever. Sometime I should put up a gallery of the old web designs that I have.

Thanks Mom!

I have my mom (or maybe a slightly nutty Uncle) to thank for my name- Karin as opposed to Karen Dalziel. It’s nice, because if you look up my name in Google, the entire first page of results is me! “Karen Dalziel” brings up a librarian which is not me.

If we build it…

Ben Vershbow has a rallying cry for Librarians at if:book: “the people’s card catalog (a thought).” It might be interesting to watch the comments (or contribute!).
