- @ryancordell Wish I was there with you (since that would be fun. And it would mean a real job) in reply to ryancordell #
- Have now moved on to listening to The Weepies. First time I've heard either of their albums. #music #

- @acavender Exactly. It seems like Twitter is trying to incorporate aspects of 3rd-party clients into web interface. in reply to acavender #
- Time to write an exam, I suppose. #
- But before I start #grading…maybe I should check the job list. #jobmarket #
- What?! *My Neighbor Totoro* is out of print?! #
- There are 5 different lists of DH people that I'm on so far. Shouldn't there just be one?Seems problematic that lists are tied to creator. #

- Isn't the first rule of Twitter Lists not to talk about Twitter lists? #

- Dear @digitalhumanist's cold: begone! in reply to digitalhumanist #
- I'd ask some of you to tell me to go to bed, but I can't yet. So I won't. (Give me 30 minutes.) #

- @kfitz What's your word processor of choice again? #
- @barbarahui And even when I've modified the default, copy/pasting half of the time reverts to the other style. in reply to barbarahui #
- @billwolff I don't mind M$ doing it so much as that my students don't know how to un-do it. Despite my clear formatting guidelines. in reply to billwolff #
- @boonebgorges That's like dividing by zero. in reply to boonebgorges #
- What I hate most about Word 2007 is the default style: 10 points after paragraphs; 1.15 line spacing; Cambria/Calibri. #

- @academicdave @jmcclurken @billwolff Point well taken. in reply to academicdave #
- Do I apply to two jobs at one school? What if they're in two departments/programs? 50/50 chance they'll talk to each other. #jobmarket #
