What gives? Why haven’t you seen more BlogJunction posts this week? Two words:
1. Refresh!
2. Meetings!
Well, that might be a slight over simplification, but we really have been kicking up some dust ’round WebJunction way lately, both in relation to current projects and in relation to the planning of future projects. Sweet, sweet planning, how we love you (I really mean that btw).
Have you heard any of us say lately that this is the most exciting time ever to work in/with and/or for libraries? The buzz is palpable around the office, the main WebJunction site, the Community Partner sites, and most importantly in lots of libraries all over the place, the very libraries that are the reason we exist in the first place. Sure, I sound like a cheerleader, but I promise you it is genuine and well deserved excitement.
Now, just so you know we are working hard in our many meetings to get the things you need us and want us to get accomplished actually accomplished, I offer you a bit of a visual riddle. Perhaps the riddle might soften the blow of fewer blog posts this week? Sadly, I can’t really jump out there and say the answer to the visual riddle provided below. Still, it might be fun to hear your speculations about this image. What the heck were we doing in this meeting anyway? Rest assured we do know! *snicker* Even though *we* know, it might fun to hear what you might guess. You’ll play nice with this one, right? Here’s the picture (click it for a link to a larger size if you need it):
Anyone care to speculate?

Jamie Markus posted this comment a few days ago. It got lost in the shuffle to a new server (sorry Jamie):
I think it is a discussion and venn diagrams of where/how computers and libraries fit into the OCLC/Webjunction stragtegic plan to take over the world (remember OCLC stands for Online *Computer Library* Center). Of course it could also be the brainstorm of a new design of the OCLC logo…
Now we’re doodling while you talk. How do you like that?
A few comments have shown up on the flickr page for this pic that are kind of fun too:
