Oh that's delicious. Doesn't this make you want to play with adding a  
randomizer-subject-heading discovery feature? Allowing voting on the  
most fun concepts? Hackfest-Access/Hackfest-Code4LibCon?   :)

(I'm reminded that I've heard that at the old Mac-Hack conferences,  
presenters of hacks were heckled with derisive shouts of 'USEFUL!' if  
their hacks were, in fact, too useful... A sense of play is part of  
the appeal of google and library-thing; I'd like to see it in the next- 
gen-catalog, too.)
