Today is Powell's day

We just built a huge new library at one of our campuses, and now have a correspondingly huge amount of money for filling the shelves. So, today a platoon of librarians will converge on Powell's, filling carts with glossy-covered paperbacks, swilling World Cup coffee, and abusing the WiFi network. And I somehow convinced them I'd be useful in the endeavor. If you're in the neighborhood this morning, I'll be on the fourth floor or at the technical bookstore communing with Fup.

Update: My apologies to anyone trying to find graphic design books there this afternoon; I'm pretty sure I bought them all.

It only took 45 minutes to fill this cartOkay, I know I'm reinforcing librarian stereotypes with the turtleneck and bun.  Good thing I'm not actually a librarian.
If my coworkers consent, I may add more photos shortly.

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
