Oops, I didn't do it again

So much for making this a daily blog. My intentions were good, but this has been an extremely busy week for me both at work and at home. I've also been distracted by the beautiful, cool, sunny weather we've been having. The dreaded summer season approaches and I'd just as soon stretch out the spring to the fall.

Down to the new tidbit of information. This one is in honor of spring;

"Try to get your spring clean up done before the grass grows. It is easier to move leaves and debris when the grass is not tall."

Until next time...

Day 2

I want to make sure I post at least one entry each day, but with all the stuff going on here at work, it's easy to forget. Today I've managed to find a moment on my lunch hour to drop a few lines. However, I don't plan to post just to hear myself "talk". If I don't have some tidbit of information to share I won't be filling space unnecessarily...

So here's today's tidbit;

At least once a week take an inspection walk around your car. Look for broken lights and low tire pressure. Incorrect tire pressure can reduce your gas mileage by as much as 10%.


Until next time...

One small step for man...

Hi, I'm Alan and I work at the Sachem Public Library in Holbrook, on Long Island (that's NY for those who don't know). I'm not what you'd call a web novice, but this is my first official "blog". So far, it's totally painless (unless you count the finger fatigue at having to backspace out my mistypings so often). I can see a lot of good uses for this technology. Sharing information that changes often is one of the most obvious of those ways.

In any case, I'm going to keep this brief and get my first posting done. In case you hoped you'd get something more out of reading this entry, here's a neat website that might interest you;

That's the home page of the Pew Internet and American Life project. Check it out.

Happy trails!
