Welcome to the ranks

I was updating the Birmingham Book Events Calendar over in the sidebar when I ran across the Emmet O’Neal Library’s blog. Now everyone can get the scoop on events and books right from the source. They also seem to have blogs set up for different departments within the library! Pretty cool.

And I wish all the librarys did this… give you place to sign up for monthly notification of new acquisitions. How cool is that? Just click on the genres you’re interested in and they’ll update you once a month. Or sign up for the newsletter and get everything at once.

Adding audio

Part of the new set-up here is my hopes of adding fresher content. Which, of course, has lead me to research podcasts. There are only a handful that I keep up with, but in all my recent digging around I ran across this local podcast aggregate site and then another blogger calls for a local podacasters meet-up.

I might just have to swing by the old Pita Stop and get the scoop. I think it’d be neat to jump out there and post some interviews with a few of the bazillion authors passing though Birmingham. Maybe an interview with some of you cool book design bloggers too…
