Library Crunch had a blogged a little note of congratulations about this Library Journal piece on a self-described “library geek”. The photo and name caught my eye and I realized (with a trip to the alumni web site and an email to confirm the correct identity) that I went to high school with John Blyberg of blyberg.net fame. He's one of the big names these days in the library 2.0 blogosphere, but I'll always remember him as the guy who ran a super cool BBS back in about 1987 that I was completely and utterly addicted to (you had to answer trivia questions to move up through levels or something, it was during the same time that I was spending way too much time on a local 7-line dial-up BBS called Comlink instead of doing my freshman English homework...) Anyway, it's always fun to cross paths with people from other lives! Gotta love the net!
