But they do make me sleepy

Carts of books in a courtyard at the Los Angeles Central Library with people browsing.

Inspired by Claudine Chionh’s mention of using Open Library identifiers, I realized that I could link my isbn: pseudo-URLs to the Open Library listings instead the ones on Bookshop.org, which sometimes went nowhere because they have a limited catalog. No affiliate revenue for me, but nobody is really reading this or buying books on my recommendations, so I don’t think I’ll miss it.

The Internet Archive would be a fascinating place to work. They are currently hiring a Website Software Engineer, which is way more front-end focused than I’m looking for, and a Director of Platform Engineering which calls for experience I don’t have. Too bad!
