Ah yes, here's the other one: http://thenoisychannel.com/ The Noisy Channel by the "chief scientist" at Endeca. Some good stuff now and again.

Mark,
Great! Thanks for passing this along. And for the words of encouragement.
It's kinda weird; I've worried that I'm losing where I came from. On the
other hand I enjoy bringing librarianship into my new area of work because
frankly it desperately needs it...

Steve, here's one that might be relevant to you: http://www.daniel-lemire.co...

Also have another in mind but can't think of it at the moment. Will try to come back and suggest it if/when I remember.

Try not to think of it as losing librarianship but as helping to bring us into the world of search and taxonomy; you know, where we "supposedly" are.

What are you reading now, then? Of course, it still includes MY blog, right? ;)

Tim,
Rest assured, I'm still subscribed to your blog :-)

The trouble is that I haven't quite found new reading sources. I haven't
subscribed to a ton of new blogs to replace the ones I've dropped. I pay
more attention now to Google-related blogs, e.g., and also have subscribed
to some product-specific blogs that are relevant for my company. I also have
broadened my list of technology-related blogs a bit. I still have quite a
long list of library-related blogs that I'm subscribed to, actually. I'm
just being more aggressive now in terms of pruning them.
