New look for the blog

This is a new, improved look for the library blog. Further tinkering is likely. I also changed the name, since "The Thompsonian" sounded too much like a high school yearbook.

What do these words mean, you ask?

Quodlibet (KWADlaBET) 1. an academic debate or exercise, esp. on a theological question 2. a humorously incongruous musical medley

Quiddity 1. the essential quality of a thing 2. a trifling distinction; quibble

The new name is not set in stone; I'm very open to improvements.

I also found "a medley improvised by several performers" as a definition for quodlibet, which seemed appropriate. Still I'm willing to debate.

From the 1968 Grateful Dead album "Anthem of the Sun," we have "Quodlibet for Tender Feet" which is part three of an extended composition known as "That's It for the Other One."
