		<title>IO TRIUMPHE!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On April 5, I became the College Archivist at Albion College.  I&#8217;ve been there two months and I have to say, I really like it.   Being a lone arranger has it&#8217;s challenges, but also many perks.  Plus, the college is a very friendly and relaxed place to work&#8211;plus and plus. Albion&#8217;s Archives and Special [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Lakes THATcamp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, I attended Great Lakes THAT Camp. This &#8220;unconference&#8221; was hosted by my alma mater, Michigan State University.  The topic: humanities and technology. The format was very interesting and different from what I&#8217;m used to.   We started at 8:30 AM; people shouted out session proposals and if there was enough interest, it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ann Arbor Civil War Roundtable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I visited the Ann Arbor Civil War Round Table (AACWRT).  My coworker, Bob Garrett (no relation) was giving a talk on Civil War resources at the Archives of Michigan and I tagged along to field questions about the projects I&#8217;ve been working on. It&#8217;s always fun to hang out with other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lansing DemoCamp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I attended DemoCamp Lansing held at Harper&#8217;s in East Lansing.  It was my first &#8220;un-conference&#8221; and I had a great time! It was fun and interesting to learn about new applications and tools being developed in my local community.  Some were more useful for me than others, but overall, it was a very [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Civil War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because my work at the Archives of Michigan consists of Civil War material, I decided to watch Ken Burn&#8217;s THE CIVIL WAR.  I had never watched the documentary and as it is the industry standard for documentaries, I thought I should.  Also, I have very basic knowledge of the battles fought during the war, so [...]]]></description>

Now that this collection [...]]]></description>

		<title>NAGARA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, I attended NAGARA&#8217;s annual meeting in Seattle, WA.  I learned a lot, saw a lot, and shopped a lot.  One day of the conference was spent at Microsoft headquarters.  It was really interesting to hear where Microsoft thinks the future of technology is headed.  In their  virtual home, the house computer knows what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turner Dodge House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I took the interns at the archives on a tour of the Turner Dodge House.   The original home was built in 1858 by James Turner.  Between 1900 and 1903 his daughter Abby (Turner) Dodge remodeled the structure into what we see today. I&#8217;ve lived around Lansing all my life, but have [...]]]></description>

		<title>MAA 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year, the Michigan Archival Association met in Marshall, Mich.  The conference was held at Schuler&#8217;s Restaurant June 24-25.   I spoke again, with this year&#8217;s focus on the upcoming Civil War Sesquicentennial. All of the sessions I went to were very informative.  I attended sessions on DSpace, The Archivist Toolkit vs. Achron, and Documenting the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tweeting on Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, The Digital Archive Blog posted &#8220;15 People all Archivists Must Follow on Twitter.&#8221;  Although I didn&#8217;t make the first cut, I was added to the list a few days later.  Before that article, I had around 20 followers, but now I&#8217;m at 66&#8211;wow! Most people I talk to tend to shy [...]]]></description>
