I have a new position at MPOW. Official title is Library Systems Manager. I'm handling day-to-day operations in our IT department.

It's fun, but all-consuming for someone with my limited technical knowledge. So everything else, other than family, has been pushed way to the backburner or off the stove entirely.

I'll be doing some presentations about podcasting at Internet Librarian, but beyond that, don't expect to be doing much with either public speaking or podcasting in the immediate future. (Not that I won't entertain speaking offers, but I'm not making any plans at present.)

The Carnival has and will continue to suffer under the strain of my redirected priorities. Here's a belated link to Carnival of the Infosciences #57, courtesy of David's Random Stuff. Thanks, David.

Although we didn't have a host last week, I do have one for next week. Thanks to Chadwick over at InfoSciPhi, the Carnival lives to see another week. But after that, future uncertain (unless I have a volunteer to take over Carnival administration?). Chadwick will likely accept submissions at chadwick[at]infosciphi.info.

Looking forward to catching up with some of you in Monterey.
