This is not a blog. This is a P.O.O.P.

Ok, so first things first. I hate, nay despise, the word “blog”. There was a time at my old library where it seemed like the solution to every problem was to have a blog. Most people offering up that solution didn’t even know what a blog was but were fairly certain that because the library world was abuzz with the term that it had to be the right thing to do. So, in every committee-taskforce-team-panel-roundtable-group meeting I attended (which was roughly 22.86/week) for a solid year, my ears were assaulted with that oh so unpleasant sounding word: blog.

For that reason, this isn’t a blog. It’s a Personal Online Ongoing Publication or POOP. There won’t be any blogging here — only POOPing. I don’t blog things. I POOP them.

This is my first attempt at POOPing. I’m hoping to post things about gaming in higher education (especially what that has to do with libraries), but I’m not restricting myself to that topic specifically. So who knows what kind of stuff you’ll find on here…
