RT @chrisfitzpat: will the digital public library of america just be a digital shelter for digital homeless people?

Until I see video of you giving birth to a dog or a cat, it's not your child. Uhhh, OK, maybe not a good standard to judge by. NO VIDS PLZ.

RT @carlmalamud: Wow. Peter Ludlow comes out swinging at JSTOR. http://chronicle.com/article... Northwestern Prof in Chronicle of Higher Ed: "Aaron Swartz Was Right."

So if you wanna print out 3D hockey pucks in a frigid makerspace sipping a Starbucks caffè misto, come on down!
The library of the future, I am pleased to report, will provide some continuity however; the heat will still not work consistently.
The library of the future will be a café, a high-tech computer lab, and a makerspace, it seems. So, a building with people, basically. #win
There is an alternate universe in which digital library architects have screaming hordes of adoring groupies, I just know it.
That thing where after months of reading, writing, revision, proofreading, etc., you look at the final proof and think, "maybe it's trash."
I'm a perfectionist; I order my martinis perfect. (cc: @dmc186) #dealwithit
