In all the excitement of travelling last week to the other end of the country for a one day meeting of science and technology librarians (Well worth it by the way and got to see some of the old stomping grounds of my Mom and Dad when they were younger), I may have forgotten to mention that the paper I wrote a little while back with my junior colleague R, has won an award. Only $80 but great to be cited as "the most informative, entertaining and inspiring article" of the year. In an sad bit of 'karma' if you will, I also managed to leave my iPad bluetooth keyboard (cost: $80) in a lecture room after demonstrating it to the Malaysian teachers I was telling about iPads and apps in education. Needless to say it wasn't there when I went back. C'est la vie.
