A Happily Converged Recursive Spiral

This image in this post is just slightly freaky when you read what it includes and how the image came to be posted to the blog tonight. It’s deep, shallow and goes ’round and ’round.
So yesterday I blogged about Pandora and libraries (again, sorry), tonight I was working a bit at home and listening away to my good friend Pandora when a “frame ad” came up around the player. The ad? It was from the folks at Palm, for the Treo. In this series of ads, they mention the different ways you can integrate a Treo into your life. Interestingly, the ad I saw highlighted flickr. So, I whip out my Treo, while listening to Pandora, take a picture of the flickr/Treo/Palm/Pandora screen and upload it to flickr. Then I go into my blog editing software and write this post. Which will now include some code that will make a picture showing you an amazingly deep example of convergence show up for you. Enjoy!

Frappr Group Gets Blogging Librarians Mapped

So much convergence in so many guises. All of this API business, Google Maps and Flickr stuff is making for Mash-ups that provide more than just a promise of something useful. We get real tools! Web 2.0!! Library 2.0!!!

As mentioned in previous posts, there is of course the Libraries and Librarians Geotagging project page with push pin markers linking Flickr photos with library shots from all around the globe. Cool! We just got our first picture from an African library mapped with this very nifty tool.

Here is another really fun one called the Blogging Librarians Frapper page. Check this out:
“This is a map of librarians with blogs, or “blogging librarians.” If you’re a librarian and you have a blog, please put your “pushpin” on the map, so we can see where all the blogging librarians are and build up our online community.”

Thanks to Scott Pfitzinger (go Hoosiers!)for starting this group! Thanks also my main man, Mr. Cohen and his Flickr stream where you can find a screen shot of this Frapper page.
