I keep thinking I'm blogging almost every day, but then I look at the actual blog and realize I'm only posting one day in three. I must be getting old, the way my sense of time is completely fluid. Or maybe I'm getting more eternal.
Anyway, I was thinking ...
Yesterday I discovered MagCloud, which Derek Powazek says is "the future of magazine publishing":
MagCloud enables you to publish your own magazines. All you have to do is upload a PDF and we'll take care of the rest: printing, mailing, subscription management, and more.

Last week I interviewed for a new job as a web designer at the Harold B. Lee Library, and this afternoon I found out that I got it! :) I start work in two weeks. And I'm excited. (I'll be part of the team that works on ...
