   I miss card catalogs.

   When I used a card catalog, when flipping through the cards to find my desired item, I would almost invariably come across something I wasn’t looking for but struck a chord or my fancy. Anyway, it struck something, and in a good way.

   With computer searches, this serendipity is wholly lacking. I type in what I am searching for, and I find it (or not, if it doesn’t exist) — no unexpected discoveries.

   Was the outro supposed to go on that long after the credits?

   Really? When I do computer searches, I generally search by keyword or author instead of specific titles, and I find lots of other things I want to check out in the process (as well as what I’m looking for). There’s also finding interesting things on the same shelves. Mind, the last time I saw a real card catalog was in elementary school, and I hated it because it was taller than I was so I couldn’t always reach the drawer I wanted.

   Er… frig. That was meant to be a response. The “Respond to this” button apparently did nothing.
