Whoa! I like that Dante/Carmen mashup. 

One of the reference librarians I know is doing some archival work on local newspapers. I not sure exactly what she does, but I think she's scanning them. I'm sure there's a way to make the digital copies safer from tampering. I love the idea of archiving and would love to do it myself. 

It makes sense if you're just documenting something. It's not very artistic though. I mean, I appreciate documentary photos. I sometimes like shooting that way, but it's pretty plain Jane. 

Yeah, he's got a long list of voices. He's great. 

My library does some digitizing projects with local newspapers that don't normally get scanned. And there's always digital versions of the major newspapers they have on paper, but once they've been around a while, they get recycled. I think it's just a storage thing. I can't think of where we'd keep them in my library, and I'm in a big library too. I'm going to have to ask someone about this. I'm curious now. I want to know where everything goes in my library. 

As for card catalogs. I'm not sure why anyone would want those anymore since you can search on computer or phone whereever you are. Don't get me wrong, I'm nostalgic as heck about those things too. I get the warm a fuzzies whenever I see an old card catalog cabinet, but it's like punch cards for computers; no one's going back to those except in this video game I played recently. And now I mention it, I wonder if I've see a card catalog in a game. I'm going to keep my eyes out for that. 

That Snoopy one sounds great. 

Funny, I keep forgetting that wiki is kind of like an encylopedia. I practically live on that site. 

I've probably looked at Wookiepedia a few times too. It comes up in searches I make. 

Ha. I love Rockapella. 

As soon as I saw I created a group, I exited thinking I was on the wrong screen. Then I couldn't find a way to just send a message. I had a suspicion though. I'll do it right next time. 

Are you an encyclopedia nerd too? I thought I was the only one until I read that Alexander Graham Bell use to read them for new inventing ideas. Now there are three of us!

But seriously, I love fact books and TIme/LIfe history summary books and stuff like that. 

I watched the TV show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego a bit in the 90s. I totally dig the Rockapella segments. I never played the games, but I always want to when I see one of them pop up on the lists I'm frequently scanning. Where's the games encylopedia by the way?

"Hit it Rockapella!"
