Ciao Jan!
Very nice idea! I'll keep you informed on my future publications and I'm sure I'll check this blog often.

Greetz Jan,
GREAT idea and one that is long overdue. I look forward to the evolution of the SFNB and future content.
Cheers,
Luc

We are experimenting with blogs and RSS feeds for library services, and I thought I would try this for The Scorpion Files as many have asked to be notified about updates (and i have not time to follow up on everyone personally). I'm glad you like the idea!!
