			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is ordinary consciousness and why does my job seem to be a mandate to sequence technology, organized resources, and the drumming human wilderness of movement, need, and intention into a contained, useful modality?</p>
<p>A student tells me, &#8216;be well&#8217; and I reply &#8217;stay fresh&#8217;.  Medical students, librarians, and bags of chips need to stay fresh.  Another student walks by with the the words &#8216;don&#8217;t make me give you drugs&#8217; on her shirt.</p>
<p>Librarians manage all kinds of things all kinds of ways.  While some librarians bark and froth, I blush.  Blushing is good for me.  It&#8217;s OK to drop your eyes and hide from the group.   Change your middle name change the way your hands touch the air and end your sentences with a nervous laugh.  As you change I am determined to discover why I am typing, eyes closed, mouth open.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Holy Synesthesia!  <a href="http://www.skyfell.org/soundofanimage.html" title="sound of an image" target="_blank">Sound of an Image</a> is a psychedelic application for the Mac that translates picture into music.  Quote from Tim Omernick, creator of Sound of an Image:</p>
<blockquote><p>A very, very long time ago&#8230;</p>
<p>Before The Beatles, before Mozart, even before Pythagoras, there was a caveman named Ogg. One day, Ogg the caveman picked up a stick and struck a rock in a rhythmic fashion. Nobody knows why he did it, or from where his rhythm came. What we do know is that Ogg&#8217;s idea has survived to this very day, his primitive beats slowly transformed through time into intricate musical compositions. Ogg&#8217;s music makes people laugh, cry, and feel nostalgia for days past. Ogg&#8217;s music sells iPods.</p>
<p>And I think there&#8217;s a little bit of Ogg in every one of us. My stick is the ability to write software, and my rock is my Macintosh.</p></blockquote>
<p>I like that last line&#8211;I like the way it sounds, the way it looks.  Librarian, what is your stick and your rock?  What does your name taste like?</p>
