Infographic about how books are published, sold, and enter the school library. Available at: tinyurl.com/how-books-2026

Remember my infographic about How Books Enter the Library? In this new version, I’ve added an annotated summary of Kelly Jensen’s “Books Don’t Just Appear on the Shelves.” Use this mashup to help folks understand how the claim of porn in school libraries makes no sense. tinyurl.com/how-books-2026

I've just purchased a clown horn. It's for work purposes.

Is it too early to declare Gorillaz' The Mountain as Album Of The Year?

I wish my brain switched off from thinking such things at times.

Happy birthday Donna! Hope you're having a great day!

BBC headline: Robbie Williams leads supergroup in Brits tribute to Ozzy.

I'm sure it's what he would have wanted.

Alright.

I see it's Welsh Night in celebration of St David's Day on BBC Four after #TOTP tonight with the usual suspects, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Stereophonics (yawn!). Rest assured, if I was Controller you'd be getting new episodes of Super Furry Animals or Gorky's Zygotic Mynci At The BBC. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
