Library 2.0 Network

Ever wanted to try out social networking, but you're intimidated by sites like Myspace? One of the coolest trends starting up now are sites that allow you to create your own social network, on any topic you choose. (For example, I discovered a site called RenSpace the other day, for Renaissance faire enthusiasts.) Well now there's one for Library 2.0 Librarians! Over here, you can create your own profile, and share with other librarians. Check it out!

(And friend me here.)

Book vs. Movie

So we all know that movies based on books never quite measure up to their origins. Movies based off Frank Miller's graphic novels, however, tend to be the exception. When Sin City came out, we were amazed at how close some of the movie frames matched scenes from the graphic novels. It looks like they're doing the same thing with 300, which comes out in theatres (and the IMAX!) on March 9th. Check out the book to movie comparison shots here.

(Note: There is a link to the Sin City comparison shots in the blog post above. If you are easily offended by nudity, I would recommend just sticking with the 300 shots.)
