I spent an hour this morning adding description fields to the CONTENTdm collection, “The Gallery Has A Posse.” I finished the first of 22 pages of images; 21 more to go. Fifty images per page. Good job!

New blog category: the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Today = -679.95 points. They call them points, right? All I know is that my TIAA-CREF is going somewhere fast in a hand basket.
Slim pickins’ in NYC today
Four hours this afternoon scavenging in the lower east side yielded few new stickers and next to nothing in terms of political stickers regarding the 2008 election. I got a great sticker about Sarah Palin, but really, during the entire day we saw only 1-2 stickers about McCain and 1-2 about Obama. There was an Obey-like wheatpasted poster of Palin that I’ll post a picture of later. Very tasty.
Very exciting news!
I designed a new header for the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery blog. I’m also getting bored with all my “time off” this week!!!!!!!
Where is the magic SLEEP FAIRY when you need him/her?!!!!

He’d be all proud and puffed up, but also humble==the American Civil Rights movement defined him as a young man, and I hope that he is able to see this happening from wherever he is. We have a new SLU CONTENTdm sticker ninja on board, however–Alex Collins!! Alex will be helping with metadata for now. W00t! For a good read, check…

Carole and I (and Arline) met with Library folks today to have a conference call with Rice from iii about the new Encore discovery tool that the Library is implementing. It has caused us Gallery folk to re-map certain CONTENTdm fields to Dublin Core, and I liked how Rice called it “dumbing down” a field. How true. Plus Dublin Core omits several fields that would be important in a museum/gallery context. There were several other issues to discuss, inc. which fields to include in the Encore record, etc. It’s really super-fascinating (i.e., NOT!). Kevin, I still need to resolve your…

I always like to take “screen shots,” especially of comedic disasters that are maverick in proportion like this one:
A Field Day: More from the NY Times
I don’t have time for stickers these days. The election is more important (ack, this from the Stickerkitty?). Maureen Dowd’s article online tonight was fantastic. More lipstick smackin’ gumminess from Palin: “With the impacts of climate change, what we can do about that, as governor, I was the first governor to form a climate change subcabinet to start dealing with the impacts.” That was, miraculously, richer with content than an answer she gave Katie Couric: “You know, there are man’s activities that can be contributed to the issues that we’re dealing with now, with these impacts.”
