Methods of Producing Synthetic Alexandrite

Google+ RIP

Not sure where I want to move my musings now....   sigh.

UNCLE!!!!

I've tried off and on to channel and/or synchronize posts between  this blog, Twitter, Google+,  Pinterest, and other social networks.    Yikes.  Too much to manage..

From now on, I'm going to focus on Google+ for posting unless I'm doing a Twitter back channel at a conference.    Here's my public Google+ stream if you'd like to follow what I'm reading and thinking about:  https://plus.google.com/115357271869338549299       My interests are pretty eclectic, but you'll see a lot of posts on librarianship, higher education, and  technology.  

Pinterest will be mostly fun stuff:  rocks and minerals, quotes, music, chocolate, nature photography, etc., but with some library and book pictures thrown in!   http://pinterest.com/vkline/

Happy exploring!
