- Offtopic Perspective: 50 Movie Hollywood Legends, Part 1 – From the sublime to the ridiculous, from Good News to The Fat Spy, two dozen movies with big-name stars.
- Retrospective: Pointing with Pride, Part 1 – Looking back at “the 1s”–the first, 11th…91st issues of C&I.
“I can believe that half of the liblogs with more than four or five readers still manage to fly under the radar.”

Very nice.
And then there are Strange Liblogs–very stable but a little hard to describe.
