Recovering slowly
In addition to losing my shiny new laptop, I acquired/developed a cold while in Orlando. Basically, it's going to be a while before I'll be able to blog about the conference.
It was pretty cool, although way too spread out (at one point, relying on the shuttle bus, it took an hour to get 1) from an outlying hotel to the convention centre and immediately 2) from the centre to an outlying hotel in a different direction). I met lots of cool people. I learned lots of cool things. In all, I'm pretty glad I went, and since I don't think I'll be attending next year's annual, I'm sorry I'm going to miss it.
And now for something completely different: I remember recently seeing a metasearch interface for numerous quotations dbs. It wasn't Bartleby, it was something much bigger/broader. If any of you might have run across such a beast, could you leave the URL in the comments? Thank you.

I'm terribly sorry about your laptop, love. And about your cold.
I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say about Eldred v. Ashcroft!

Could you be thinking about Michael Fagan's "Quotations and Proverbs Search" at http://www.faganfinder.com/quotes/ ?
It's not really a metasearch as you have to search one-by-one. Would love it if there were such a thing, like http://onelook.com/ is a metasearch for online dictionaries.

I think that FaganFinder is what I was thinking of ... thank you, Carole!

I am very sorry to hear about your laptop and your cold. After my own move, my laptop provided some welcome continuity amidst all the changes. All the best!
