Not only is it now an iSchool, and they’re offering an MLIS [among other degrees. I have an MLib] but they’re making information accessible and popular. Enjoy this Lady Gaga sendup. Watch for the Nancy Pearl cameo. Awesome job folks. I really should go back for my PhD. Some discussion and adoration on BoingBoing. [via]

Lovely photographer/designer friend Catherine was interested in seeing more of the architecture of the University of Washington campus - so here you go:
It was lovely seeing the building tops peeking through the trees - looking for all the world like castles...
- with a bit of modern thrown in next to the more vintage...
...every floor has a different style of window...
(I wonder if one can go up into the various towers and 'gazebos' on the roofs. I'll bet the views are great...)
And here is the arts building. Even *it* has towers!

Just a small sampling of some of the cool building exteriors....
More 'gazebos' on the rooftops (what are these really called???)
In the fall, the extensive growth of Boston Ivy turns a gorgeous bright red...
...so many different roof lines...
...turrets and archways....

We toured UW at the behest of my almost-senior daughter (on the right) and her best friend/twin-separated at birth.
Although most of our touring was outdoors, the little bit of interior we saw was also lovely-
There was many a beautifully detailed and shaped window-
- look at all that varied and fancy glass!
-and even the newer interiors are filled with arches and curves everywhere...
...and the odd piece of headless art...

My youngest child will be a high school senior this fall. She's thinking ahead to college, so we are touring some local campuses in the next week.
Today we went to the University of Washington, with all its gorgeous Gothic architecture.
The main library especially, has always been a favorite of mine.
Built to represent a 'cathedral of learning'...
Parts of the interior also look like the inside of a cathedral.
Or a castle...
...massive stone archways and curves....
And then there is the graduate-student library!
Hogwarts anyone?
If it wasn't for all the sun-drenched windows and walls, it would feel remarkably like its wizardly counterpart...
All the beautiful, ornate details...
A magical place indeed.
jajajajaja, great!! really amazing! Congratulations, it’s a good job. Thanks for making me laugh so much with your brilliant staging. The lyric conversion is so witty.

Don’t forget the databases…
Happy to see a banjo!
It was much better than Cats! No, I am not kidding. Infotainment!
