Hi there. This week looks a little iffy for Folderol updates; posts will happen when they can. For today, I give you...

-- photos of the Snowpocalypse in DC!

-- the new Picture Book Report website!

-- and last but most definitely not least, Hipster Puppies.

It is Friday, and we are currently observing a lovely rain/snow/sleet/ice mix. Yes, it's February in Cincinnati!

From Zazoo: the awesome Puppet Buzz weblog.

From Julie: A pheasant is terrorizing a small English village, possibly to avenge the death of family members!

Also from Julie: Magnum's photography archive has been sold and will be available for view by the public, hooray.

From Cassandra: "At 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, the Central Ohio Ghost Squad will premiere the movie 'Back into Hell at Bobby Mackey's.'" You can meet one of the ghost hunters, too!

Also from Cassandra: Find a notable death via the Death Clock website.

From my mom: a great piece on the late Howard Zinn. Thanks, Mom!

From Nicole: A Gawker piece describes a made-over Snooki (of the now-infamous Jersey Shore TV series) as looking like "the coolest girl at the librarian's convention."  Nicole believes that this is wrong, as she, Cassandra and I were the coolest girls at the Internet Librarian convention a few years back. Hee. Thanks, Nicole! (I don't think Snooki has any interest in being a librarian anyway, so we are safe for now.)

Be safe and have a spiffy weekend, everyone. Between the weather and some family stuff going on, we may not be posting on Monday, but who knows?

One day, I will wise up and remember that Thursdays are almost always insanely busy, and get the Thursday links ready ahead of time. Today is not that day.

For now, however, I can at least point you to a cornucopia of great stuff via two other librarians: Jessamyn's summary of her postings during her week at Boing Boing, and the Librarian in Black's 13 Ways (and 147 Tools) to Help Your Library Save Money on Technology.

Also, for the geeks: The D&D alignments of Doctor Who. Chaotic good has always been my favorite, so I was pleased.


Tomorrow: links from others!

The Zombible is just what it sounds like. You have been warned.

I could have sworn I'd posted before about the Secret Places of San Francisco, but evidently I haven't. Go and search them out!

Farther north, the Olympics are gearing up, which means it's time for wacky mascot adventures. Those of you who follow MCT can guess what the Rude Marmot thinks of being relegated to sidekick status.

RIP, Kage Baker. If you haven't read Kage's work, I highly recommend "The Bohemian Astrobleme," just published in Subterranean Magazine and rather steampunky in nature. (I've been meaning to read the Company series and should do that soon...)

The Continentals, a webcomic that mixes Victoriana with The Avengers and more, is coming to the world of print!

Bartitsu, the martial art practiced by Sherlock Holmes, is coming to Seattle. (Well, it may be there already, but the opportunity to learn it is coming to Seattle...)

Beware, the killer robots are on their way. However, there are monster butlers offering up their services as well, so between the killer robots and the monsters, everything balances out, right? (Killer robots are not yet available for sale to plebeians, but monster butlers are!)

Most of today's links seem to have a retro theme. (I fix that with the last link, though.)

Nick Gentry uses old media, such as cassette tapes and floppy disks, to create his art.

Joe Stevens celebrates the California van. (We saw a movie once titled "Van" or "The Van" or something like that, which is essentially a cinematic version of this website.)

Flickr has a pool for vintage photographs of pets! I have some photos I can add.

Letterheady celebrates the days of gorgeous letterheads, back when people wrote on paper using pens and pencils and the occasional typewriter.

And lastly...the Olympics are about to begin, and here is Johnny Weir skating to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." It's pretty awesome.

It is Friday, and not a moment too soon, because this week has been about two months long.

From Matt Staggs (happy birthday, Matt!): The Facebook fan page for Peter Straub's new book, A Dark Matter, is asking what is weird and spooky about your town. (More on A Dark Matter later!)

From Nicole: David Bowie talks about what's on his iPod.Unsurprisingly, it's very eclectic.

From Cassandra: eight ancient drinks! Try them all!

From Zazoo: an amusement park dedicated to ABBA is opening in London. Wow.

From Julie: "Dinosaur had ginger feathers." Bunny will be thrilled!

Holly sent me a link to a different entry from Chris Illuminati, but then I found a more recent one about libraries and librarians. Like most discussions about libraries and librarians, it quickly becomes a discussion (in the comments) about hot librarians. Ha.

Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday.
