more library geek stuff
Watch me go from normal person to super geek in 3.5 seconds....
OK, so at work we got to talking about how Sydney compares to LA County in size, population, etc.
Anyway, much to my surprize they are very close in square kilometers (both are just over 12,000 kilometers, see here and here)
whoda thunk?
But what's more interesting is the population density. Sydney is 345.7/km². But LA County is 967.9/km². Almost three times that of Sydney.
No wonder people are so tense in LA.
What? not geeky enough for ya? OK, watch this.
In LA County there are 89 public libraries but in Sydney there are 106 public libraries.(pdf)
So in LA County each public library is shared by over 109,000 people where as in Sydney each public library is shared by only 40,000 people.
Wow, we are really a very lucky city.

(I'm going to have to do a post about wild sex or crazy rock n roll pretty soon just to get a tiny bit of cred back, eek!)

Your father-in-law suggests "crazy rock-n-roll", some things he doesn't need to know!
