It's my birthday! I'm 49. Wrapping up my fifth decade. Mmm, it's like deja-vu, all over again.

I had lunch and a meeting yesterday with David Gracy. David is the Governor Bill Daniel Professor in Archival Enterprise and has been the Interim Director of the Preservation and Conservation Studies (PCS) program in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Plus he is a great guy! We had a lively discussion about the future of PCS. His enthusiasm and optimism are infectious. I look forward to the next opportunity to spend some time with him.
An online interview with Yvonne Carignan, an Archivist/Preservationist. Ms. Carignan recommends getting a preservation certificate at The University of Texas!

Hieronymus Bosch. The guy was really out there. Cool.
What a weird story. The Voynich Manuscript is a medieval manuscript written in an unknown script and language or cipher. To date, no one has been able to translate the text. A gallery of folio images is here, via the Beinecke Rare Book Library.
Not to be outdone by reality. Check out the Codex Seraphinianua, the work of Italian artist Luigi Serafini.
Saucer Wisdom by Rudy V. Rucker, looks like it might be a fun and interesting read.
Oh WOW. This is cool. The Unknown John Lee Hooker. "Private recordings which lay forgotten for 50 years--Country blues and spirituals Hooker never recorded commercially--rescued from a dusty basement in Prague...of all places!"
