My professional life wanders in between physical infrastructure and human infrastructure. I’ve worked on teams focused on building out information networks. Some of those teams have attended to emotional and social networks to the same level of detail and intentionality. Most have not. I’m at the CoSN Conference in Nashville, Tennessee this week, meeting almost […]
I play Wordle. I love that it’s a love story. I like that it’s got a clean beginning, middle, and end. It’s something to do with words and my brain for a few minutes. What I noticed yesterday, pretty much by accident, is something that I like, too. Every Wordle attempt is a two to […]
From time to time, I counsel other libraries on how to think about fines and fees and service charges, both from a technical perspective but also from a philosophical one. Last week, I had one of these conversations, and, as I’m trying to rekindle a public writing habit, I thought I’d recount some thoughts from […]

If this would work, let me know how to get in touch. My Skype name is gmanb5, or you can send me a message here.
Thanks.

Just out of interest, how did u come across mine, cos I'm not listed in your aggregator?
Cheers
