A blog for medical students, faculty and librarians about their use of evidence based medicine, clinical literature, Web 2.0, sources and search strategies
It is my blogo-versary (two years, 3 weeks of blogging, folks – send a comment, please), it’s the depths of summer, the students are on vacation, so let’s take poetic license to post whatever is at hand. Here they are:
A friend of mine is terrified of clowns in all forms. If you read the novel It by Stephen King, you might not ever walk past a clown (or street gutters) without wincing. The actor Tim Curry (who played Pennywise, the evil clown, in the film version of It) gives me the creeps, too.
Adam Bergin 2009 created a short film funded by Philips to promote their Cinema 21:9 LCD TV.Like a Dada film, one can start and stop watching Carousel – and then start it again – and it all makes about as much sense.
The fictional mayhem in this short film occurs in a hospital. It won an award at the 2009 Cannes Lions Festival. Dada-esque?

Don’t laugh – I used to live in San Francisco and have eaten once or twice at Doggie Diner, where the food is cheap, fast and good — amusing for the fact that the cooks yell at you if you don’t give your order quick and then move along. No holding up the customer line!

“Hibi no Neiro” (Tone of everyday)is a music-video by Japanese band SOUR, used to promote the group’s first mini-album, Water Flavor EP. The 3.5 minute video was created by Masashi Kawamura, Hal Kirkland, Magico Nakamura and Masayoshi Nakamura in June 2009.
It is interesting to watch for both the music and the people (all fans of the band) who collectively filmed it worldwide. It is one of those videos where, every time you watch it you can see something new in it:

And that’s the Friday Post #36 for Aug 14 2009. Hurray – a new academic year begins next week!
Congratulations Kathleen on your blogo-versary. Your writing is always a rich source of information, leavened with a good sense of humour. Your fans look forward to another year of excellence. We look forward with somewhat less enthusiasm to the start of the new academic year.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Gissypiboma! Blogging has been a bit like parenting – you learn just as much from researching and writing the blog (or raising a child) as the blog (child) learns from you. Writing daily has been a truly educational experience.
