Rhymes with Toaster

I was going to write a quick blurb about Perceptive Pixel's new Multi-touch Computer Demonstration (which you should still totally check out), but I just have to write about the awesomeness that's sitting in front of me. The AADL catalog has just been opened up to the public.

Basically, it allows users to add and share information about any item in our catalog using tagging (tag cloud), reviews (example review), and even comments on reviews.

John's got all the details and a screencast video to watch right here.

Awesome stuff.

About:
Based on the foundation of the aadl_saver (below), I created a new screen saver to welcome patrons to the new Pittsfield Branch. It contains a welcome screen, listing of events, and multiple dynamic displays of New or Top Books (including cover images) from the AADL RSS feeds. Bonus geek points to anyone that can identify the application which influenced the overall look.

About:
A dynamic display of New or Top Books (including cover images) from the AADL RSS feeds. Currently only displays books, as the other items don't have good cover images (yet). Best of all, the information comes from the AADL RSS feeds, meaning it's always up to date!
