Happy Blogaversary, Sis!
http://www.blyberg.net/2008/02/06/happy-blogaversary-sis/It’s hard to believe that my sister’s blog turned one year old today–where did that time go? What’s not hard to believe is how absolutely fantastic it is, though. Every post she makes is a moment of clear sublimity and a quiet celebration of joy–which pretty much sums up everything she does. …

Ding # 21 Sociaal catalogiseren
http://kamer216.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/ding-21-sociaal-cat...betere vindbaarheid van het materiaal, elkaar tippen, discussiëren over een titel, lijstjes maken, spelen en verbeteren… wat kan daar nou fout mee zijn?
