Web - Usability - Humor

I was looking for a book at the library. The software was primitive, only showing four entries per screen. Flipping through a card file would have been faster and easier.
Then to write the call number down, they had little slips of paper. Oops. The backs of cards from the old card catalog (RIP). The card I picked was for "Cadillac Jack", a novel that I own. Random.
One of my dream gigs is to do library catalog software. Me, a data modeler, and a scripting whiz-kid. I'm thinking it would take about three months to put together a system that works really well. The trick is integrating with the rest of the functionality (check in, check out, fines, etc.), but it's still not that hard.

Hey, look at me! I'm a Senior Web eGuru Architecture Evangelist. My new job is promoting that people use our company's architecture for web-based artificial Gurus -- *way* better than old-fashioned artificial intelligence, because our eGurus have wisdom, personality, humor, and can whup your patootie at Pong. The only problem is I need a double-wide business card.
Update: Don't worry, this was just intended to be funny. I'm still fancy-free and free for anything fancy. Sorry for the shock.
