I had posted a while ago about my Overabundance of firefox plugins, but it looks like I’ll get another one soon. Dan Cohen posted about his upcoming tool Zotero on his blog. It’s a reference corralling tool, and I’ve been hoping and praying for something like it for some time, after using several other plugins and services, none of which work that well. My latest attempt has been to start using Movable Type- I was going to change the templates some to display citation information, etc. I believe I will abandon that attempt and just wait for Zotero.
And before you say it, yes, I realize that getting exited about a tool that helps me cite stuff is yet another reason I’m a dork.
This is the first time that I have read your blog. You are an incredibly interesting person -you seem to have no dogmatic philosophy that supplies an instant, simplistic solution to every problem – an approach that seems so prevalent to me in today’s society. In some issues you seem very liberal, and in others, downright libertarian. I say this with respect. To me, it shows that you see the complexity of the world we live in, and are open to new points of view. You say you live in academia and don’t have ” a doctorate” and are looked down upon. To me, you are wiser at a relatively young age that most acamedicians that I have ever met.
Please continue to post. Your thoughts are interesting, and your analysis and reasoning even more so.
