Current Wallpaper/Screensaver: McSweeney’s Library Science Jargon That Sounds Dirty

What's So Special About Your Computer Room:  The black light poster of Tim Berners-Lee next to the blinking “What Would Dewey Do?” bar sign.

How Many Computers Do You Have: An antique Toshiba laptop, a generic Linux box also running W98, a G4 cube, plus a very grubby PalmOne Tungsten T3 Handheld containing the unabridged novels of Jane Austen.

The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)

Tami, who once reprogrammed a plasma TV remote to ring the buzzer on her missing car keys so she could look in the trunk for her Toshiba laptop's extra USB cable, claims that if reference librarians were paid at market rates for all the IT roles they play, they would have salaries well over $200,000. Tami's only peeve is when her family refuses to organize the food in the pantry in alphabetical order.
