My hair is unwashed, my children go hungry and the cat meows at my feet. Why?<\/p>\n

Because I discovered via <\/span><\/span>snail’s trail<\/a> the <\/span>Library 2.0 Generator <\/a>at <\/span>Dave Pattern’s weblog<\/a>. To get sucked right into its vortex, click here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMy favourite so far has been “<\/span><\/span>reclassify your staff using a folksonomy”<\/span>. ( Does that mean we could replace their job descriptions with tags like “loudlaugh”, “funkyshoes<\/span>” <\/span>or “tidydesk” ?). <\/span><\/p>\n

But I can never be quite sure that something even more bizarre won’t be generated if I push the <\/span><\/span>click for another idea<\/a> button one more time. It’s like playing the poker machines. I keep walking away and pretending to do something serious, but always return to my screen for just one more try.<\/p>\n

If I allow it into my work time, and end up jobless, maybe I could hop over to <\/span><\/span>Web Two Point Oh!: <\/span>Create your own Web 2.0 Company<\/span><\/a> and randomly generate a company to get me out of debt. How about <\/span><\/span>Tripkoya: <\/span>rss-based classifieds via instant messaging<\/span>, or <\/span>Zimelirati: <\/span>streaming textbooks via flash<\/span> or…just let me press that button one more time…..just once…..<\/span>
