The blog has been conspicuously quiet for some months; I hope my readers will forgive the silence, especially since this relative reticence might continue for some time. In just over two months, my husband and I will be packing up all of our worldly possessions and moving away from the city that I have loved so dearly [...]
When I decided several weeks ago to officially launch the Binding Obsession shop on November 1, I had no idea of the devastation that would directly precede this event. Here in Boston, Sandy did relatively little damage; our home never even lost power. But having grown up on Long Island, I have a lot of friends and family in New [...]
After many hours of fumbling around with DNS, .htaccess, PHP, databases, plug-ins, CSS, and SEO; reorganizing post categories and tags, menus, and static pages; updating far too many broken links and featured images; revising the About page; and creating some new visual content, I’m pleased to announce that Binding Obsession’s move to self-hosting and official [...]
Starting tomorrow (or perhaps this evening, if I’m feeling up to it), Binding Obsession will be making the move to a self-hosted WordPress.org installation. WordPress.com has been good to me, but I’m starting to feel stifled by its limitations, and if I’m going to spend money to make this website look the way I want it [...]

Hello, friends! Contrary to popular opinion, I have not, in fact, died. It has just been an incredibly busy semester. I knew it would be unlikely that I’d have time to do much binding, but I did expect to at least be able to keep up with the blog. Unfortunately, between two jobs, a compressed [...]
One year ago today, Binding Obsession launched in earnest. Since then, I’ve slowly been crawling my way out of obscurity and making a name for myself in the professional library world. I’m pleased with my progress thus far. When Binding Obsession started, it was essentially just a blog. Since then, I’ve tried to supplement these posts with [...]
I haven’t written much recently, partly because my post on libraries and the digital future took a fair bit of energy out of me, but mostly because I’ve been enjoying the (finally) beautiful weather here in Boston, as well as my last bit of time off before the summer term begins. I’ve been tending to my [...]
