Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that they can get access to subscription-only sites like the Wall Street Journal through their public libraries. In San Francisco, at least, you can log in to the library site with your card number, go to the databases, and look up the publication you want.
I also forgot to say that I *loved* Katie Paine’s comment about wet feet as a measure of the success of social media in Episode 239.
