Fashion has its own idea on how librarians like to dress:

Librarians Against DRM

caevye — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:11:32 +0000

Currently there’s a lot of discussion after HarperCollins deigned that the life cycle a real life book equals 26 library check-outs – and thus concluded that a digital copy has to be re-bought every 26 check-outs.

So now there’s “Librarians Against DRM” and they have some nifty Logos to share.

Back into Business

I’ve finally, finally managed to move the blog to this account. So not only will new content be added, but I can finally get rid of the backlog of links that’s been housing several generations of digital dustbunnies. (OK, that only brings joy and happiness to me and my browser. Well, now you know.)

Edgar Allen Poe Wall Art

caevye — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:02:49 +0000

On Etsy there are always interesting things to find. This is a print / print compositon to decorate walls. (At first I thought it’s a decal, but it turned out that I was wrong.) It seems the seller also offers to make a special print from any picture you like. They also have Alice in Wonderland and another Poe print in their shop. However, if they don’t change their attitude towards copyrighted material, chances are they’ll be out of business soon. (They offer prints from movies / fairly recents posters.)

Jane Austen’s novel with some … let’s call them “enhancements”. The title gave it away, someone (called Seth Grahame-Smith) decided that there aren’t enough zombies in the novel and decided to add some for your reading pleasure:

There might be more shops like this one, but I don’t know them (yet):

Shakespeare’s Den offers a nice selection of literature themed gadgets, games, toys, kitchenware, clothing etc.
