Actually, that little icon here is a touch misleading, but I took it since it talks about our first news item of the day. This l’il here ole blog got itself nominated for an Edublog Award, which is mighty nice. SLJ wrote an article about me and my fellow nominees, Joyce Valenza’s NeverEndingSearch, Karyn Silverman and Sarah Couri’s Some Day My Printz Will Come, and Angela Carstensen’s Adult Books 4 Teens. I’m in the Best Individual Blog category along with Joyce. Let’s face it, though. Joyce actually does discuss education on a regular basis (far more than I do), which is the point of the award as I see it. Therefore, if you’d stop over and vote for her along with my other nominees (preferably before the 13th), I’d appreciate it.
- Speaking of accomplished folks getting noticed, our own Mary Ann Scheuer of Great Kid Books (I call her “our own” since she speaks at Kidlitosphere Conferences regularly) spoke on Boston’s NPR show Here & Now about book apps for kids. Woman knows her stuff.
- Marjorie Ingall manages to locate two wall decals of infinite peculiarity. One is just weird. The other will undoubtedly be the bane of many a child’s life, possibly haunting them well into their adulthood. Fun!
- So what, precisely, is up with that The Graveyard Book movie? Waking Brain Cells has the skinny.
Let’s chalk this next one up to Books for Adults That Look Like They’re For Kids. I am speaking, naturally, about Honey Badger Don’t Care by Randall. Oh, it may look like children’s fare, but if you’re familiar with the YouTube sensation (I only recently learned about it myself, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t seen it) then you’ve got the gist of the book. Long story short, it has nothing to do with James Odone’s far sweeter picture book Honey Badgers.
- It’s one thing to find out that your childhood idol and author is still alive. It’s another thing entirely to give that person the respect and honor they never found on his own. Marc Tyler Nobleman
I’m still wrestling with this new blog format. I worry that a lot of you are checking the old links or the old RSS feeds and are simply under the impression that I’m not updating anymore. Aside from Facebook, Twitter, and various Group updates (social networking has never been so useful) I’m not sure how to let folks know about my new location. I sort of feel like I’m whistling into the wind. But we’ll figure it all out. No migration goes perfectly the first few weeks, right? The kinks with out kinkify themselves. In the meantime, have a bit o’ Fusenews.
- I was rather taken with this recent profile of children’s author and adult satirical cartoonist (amongst other things) Jules Feiffer at CNN. It has never really occurred to me, but it makes sense that he would have influenced Doonesbury in some way. Never really thought it through, though. The comments about his thoughts on Charles Schulz are also fascinating. Good reading!
- Some days, you just feel like screaming. Other days, you scream and it ends up in blog posts called Why Is Fuse #8 Screaming? I’ll explain more about the reason for the less than impressive shriek (there are reasons I never became an actress) in an upcoming Lerner Librarian Preview, but for now I thought the blog post’s title funny enough to link to.
- Oh man. I almost made this a Daily Image before I figured it wouldn’t be fair to Leila. Have you seen some of the awesome library posters from the late ’60s/early ’70s she’s been putting up? Honest-to-Murgatroyd, they are amazing. You can see most of them here, and an additional bit of magnificence here.
My feed found you just fine! Glad you’re back in business.
one wish for the new website: I used to be able to type in http://www.slj.com/fuse8 to get here, but now it doesn’t work. any chance this will work again? it’s nice to only have to remember that bit when i’m not at my home computer.
also, a few of your links on the side bar are out of date. I.e. Read Roger.
See you at ALA!
My hope is that eventually we get to the point where the old site at that address automatically redirects you to this nice new one. As it stands, it’s difficult to find my old posts right now. Not impossible. But definitely difficult.
Yeah, Read Roger’s out of date. I can’t change my sidebar myself. And something tells me my IT folks might not appreciate it if I bring up the idea of a new sidebar right now. Put it in the old To Do pile…
I found you fine, but didn’t realize until someone pointed it out just now that the move meant our blogroll link to you had stopped working. Oops.
There you are, Betsy! I missed you for those few days there.
Dunno if this is related to the switch to the new platform, but all the images from this post seem to be gone now: http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/afuse8production/2010/05/26/librarian-preview-simon-schuster-fall-2010/
Found you found you, that’s enough for tonight…
My hope is that the images from past posts will reappear in the near future. In the event that they do not . . . oog. Problematic.
aw, man. I thought this post was really gonna be about the Kinks. I was ready to geek out about Waterloo Sunset and Sunny Afternoon and You Really Got Me.
Cool links and all, but you really can’t tease me like that!
Yeah, I know. If it’s any comfort, the resident husband and I are huge Kinks fans. Just figured I’d throw them in there for the heckuvit.
