Where I am Right Now, Pt. 4

Another day, another city. Well, not exactly. It's Thursday afternoon for me, and I'm in Malmø, Sweden. The last time I was here it was pouring rain. Today it's cloudy, cool, and mostly dry.

Genealogy. It's all Relative

Genealogy is a pursuit where you'll never know what you may turn up. Or the fascinating things that drop in your lap. Some people approach genealogy wanting to prove some old family legend. Some just are curious about how their family got to where it is. And others, well, some others want to see what they can get from someone. Once upon a time, not very long ago, a man came in to the Family History Library and wanted to trace the descendants of a European royal (any royal, pick one -- no kidding!) to see if he was a descendant. We explained it was easier to go backwards from your self and see where you connect up. He didn't like that answer, and I don't think he ever came back. Someone once said the easiest way to trace your family history is to run for office. There's a lot of truth in that old chestnut. So the other day I was glancing through the online Deseret News and noticed an article about Mitt Romney and his LDS roots. As I was reading the article, I cam...

At the Break ...

The Twins are still in first place in the American League Central Division.  With the exception of four consecutive days in June, they's been there since April 24th.   But does that mean they're a good team this year? Let's look. And I'm going to look at everyone who's put on a Twins uniform this season, not just the guys currently on the roster, OK?  They have a winning record against every team in the AL Central, except for that team from Cleveland where they are 5-6, .455. In the East, they are 2-2 with the BoSox, and 1-2 with the Yankees, who also have the best record in the AL at 64-30, .681. The Western Division is still to be determined. They haven't played the Angels yet, they are 0-3 against the Astros, who have the second best record in the AL and lead the division, 1-2 with the Rangers, but have winning records against the A's at 5-1, and the Mariners, 4-3.  They have scored 28 more runs than the opposition, and have lost only 6 games by one run. ...

What's In A Name?

In this case, nothing really. It's just that TBWAIN is more interesting than Jeff Svare's Blog . The content isn't going to change, 'cuz it's my blog. But the name was dull. Boring. Unimaginative. And, I was tired of it. Next week, I'm going to the Computers in Libraries Conference in Washington, D.C. It's always a great conference, and I feel really fortunate that I'm able to go again. It's a real idea factory, and I always come away recharged with new ideas. This year I'm hoping to get a chance to further discuss content management ideas for libraries and information organizations. The unofficial wiki for the conference has some good stuff posted. Lots of seasoned conference-goers have shared their insights on how to help your conference experience be a great one.
