Flickr Slideshow

I am a complete nerd when it comes to books. You will often find piles of them next to my bed so I decided to show a picture of that. The second picture is composed of me and a couple of friends (who are also librarians) being silly with the display on opening night for the last Harry Potter movie. I've been a huge fan of the series ever since I was in elementary school so I had to add this photo to the album. The third photo is of two authors - Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan - that I had the opportunity to meet at a book signing about a year ago at a local bookstore. The last photo is of the giant bus that the authors drove up in to the book signing which I found pretty neat. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet more of my favorite authors here in Las Vegas.

You can view these pictures here on my Flickr page.

RSS Job Feeds

Job hunting can be difficult and time consuming for most people. Fortunately, there are job websites out there like monster.com or indeed.com that offer RSS feeds to their users to help make their job search a little easier. What the RSS feeds do is retrieve a number of new job listings that meet your requirement on a regular basis so that you don't have to sit and scroll through all the job listings yourself and see if the website added anything new. The RSS feeds will display the job title, location, one line of description about the job, and the company. It is completely free, and you can unsubscribe from these feeds at any time.
