“When news broke yesterday that the University of New Mexico Press would cut three employees and possibly outsource nine other positions, disgruntled workers published a statement criticizing the layoffs.” Just another pile of crap to dump on top of the load. (I go to school there, people. A lot of bad stuff is happening! Darn!)

“To my mind, too much energy is wasted on the idea that digital books are not the same as physical books. Focusing on the tactile, the kinesthetic, the heft of books and comparing that experience to a digital book makes no sense.” Exactly what I’m trying to get away from, myself!

I’m so sorry I haven’t been around your blog for a long time. I haven’t been blogging much myself, but I just wanted to drop by and say hi, wish you a good weekend and a nice Easter (if you celebrate that) and apologize for being scarce.
I am finishing my Master thesis and this takes up most of my time. Hopefully, by the end of May, I will be able to blog more and participate more around the blogosphere.
I am still reviewing books from time to time on my blog, but I am not really active.
I don’t expect you to come running visiting and commenting, I just wanted to let you know that I am very much alive and I miss reading and commenting on your blog very much.
This is a personal message written to all the blogowner, whose delightful blogs I visit on a regular basis, but it has been copy/pasted. So if you find it on other blogger’s blogs, that is why.
I look very much forward to be active again – and apologize once again for not being active the past month and not being able to be active for another month or two.
Louise,

things are bad job-wise all around. i have a p/t job and last week they let go 40 people…just made them pack up and leave. (there are only 120 people in our office.)
hopefully, the economy will pick up sometime soon…but i’m not too optimisitc. i think i’ll just bury my nose in a book!
