It has been a busy week as usual at YPL. I was lucky enough to attend a demonstration of the AquaBrowser Library with some fellow staff members. It is a searching and finding technology that works with the library's OPAC. It's intuitive and helps patrons and staff search the Library's catalog and beyond in a new way. Toledo Public and approximately 300 libraries world wide have this technology. It certainly fits in with the Library 2.0. I sure hope we can add this technology some day. See for yourself. www.TLCdelivers.com. Way cool.
I've completed Thing 7.
Big Brown Wins the Preakness
I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.

This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:
Secretariat's Belmont Race
Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:
