• @barbarahui We should start a Delicious tag for projects that we find. in reply to barbarahui #
• Voice is so far gone that I don't expect it to come back for another 3 weeks. But we had a great Sinterklaas party. #
• Dear Students: *Please* don't write me to ask if it's possible to get a grade of one thing or another in my class. Do the math yourself. #
• Time to pull up the ol' #jobmarket spreadsheet and make sure I haven't forgotten any late positions. #
• @jcmeloni Awesome. in reply to jcmeloni #
• @ryancordell @jbj @sybilv I think that participation grades should be more transparent: that's why I do it this way. in reply to ryancordell #
• @jbj Hmm. Perhaps you're right. But that seems unfair when it's 15% of their grade. in reply to jbj #
• Grading participation now so I don't allow it to goose the final grades. #
• The @PasteMagazine evolution of the hipster: http://bit.ly/7a6pnr. Proud to say that I own the shirt the 2000 model is wearing. I'm retro. #
• Voting in the @MLAconvention elections. #
• RT @ProfHacker: New at ProfHacker: in the disruptive student behavior series, @drnels asks, "what's that smell?" http://j.mp/8dElaf #
• Forgot my headphones again! Double grrr. #
• @samplereality Only one student was confused re:Doc Manhattan's culpability thanks to film. So little time meant other problems didn't arise in reply to samplereality #
• @fearv I understand the sentiment. Merriweather Post Pavilion was the breakthrough album for me. The others are…hard, still. in reply to fearv #
• My @emusic grabs: new Animal Collective EP; Lusine; 2 Math and Physics Club EPs; Lucksmiths; Cymbals Eat Guitars, and the 2008 Why? album. #
• @fearv Yes, although it was better before they changed their pricing. Still, I can get tracks for $0.36, and that fits my budget. in reply to fearv #
• My teaching of Watchmen felt like a real success, and I owe some thanks to @captain_primate, @samplereality, and @zachwhalen. #
• @jcmeloni Is there an attendance app for Android? #
• Make sure you don't miss @jcmeloni's newest at @profhacker on "Using Super Smartphones for Productivity" http://bit.ly/8UkkSx #
• Time to do my monthly @emusic downloads. I have 72 to do. Whee! #
• Weather says we might get snow on Saturday! #
• @captain_primate Finals are next week, so I'm back up here then. But this was last day of class. 'Course, we started on 19 August. in reply to captain_primate #
• And that's it for teaching this semester. I really *do* enjoy first and last days. #
• 6 weeks later, the clocks in my building still haven't been adjusted for the time change. #
• Either I didn't pay as much attention before or YHCHI changed the last iteration of Bust Down the Doors! since April. Hard to know. #
• @mkirschenbaum That's by @SNicholson. in reply to mkirschenbaum #
• Wikipedia seems to be running slowly today. #
• Awesome. The Cymbals Eat Guitars album has made its way to @emusic: http://bit.ly/6qsLt8. #
• @jcmeloni @JenServenti Yeah. That's why I haven't been able to get a job at the NEH yet. My knit-fu is lacking. in reply to jcmeloni #
• RT @DougCoupland: Read a book & be lost in your own world: society says that’s good, & yet playing games alone is socially damaging activity #
• While the postmodernist in me hates that I end courses with a "this is why literary studies matters," every other part of me loves it. #
• @mkirschenbaum Doesn't the NEH have a grant for that? in reply to mkirschenbaum #
• @eetempleton Oh right. I'd forgotten about that. I'll try to remain positive and assume I've not been drummed out of the profession by then. in reply to eetempleton #
• @derekbruff Even the movie is too long to adequately be covered in the 2 75-minute classes I had at my disposal. in reply to derekbruff #
• Doing #classprep for my last day of semester & trying to keep focused. Feeling of inadequacy re: covering 2nd half of Watchmen not helping. #
• .@mlaconvention Can we please have somewhere warm soon? I hear Miami is nice in January. in reply to mlaconvention #
• @emarsh That'd be great for teaching Powers's *Three Farmers on the Way to a Dance* in reply to emarsh #
• @jcmeloni I've only got two more days of this. Sucka! in reply to jcmeloni #
• @BenRobertson You just made me snort. Loudly. In the public library. in reply to BenRobertson #
• (Of course, my tweets tend to be quantity over quality. Not really true of all these people on the list, however.) #
• also on list: @amandafrench, @barbarahui, @lubar, @alxjrvs, @nowviskie, and @dancohen. Good company to keep. #
• I've just been contacted for a survey on top tweeters at Digital Humanities conferences. Also on list: @sramsay, @georgeonline, [1/2] #
• @academicdave To improve rankings and lower their costs to teach undergraduates. in reply to academicdave #
• @joguldi @sterflu @academicdave I don't know. The 1-on-1 teaching system doesn't allow enough cross-person discussion. I want small groups. in reply to joguldi #
• @samplereality Give it a try. 120 characters isn't *that* much less than 140. in reply to samplereality #
• .@academicdave Eliminating many PhD programs is key. But no one will go first. in reply to academicdave #
• .@academicdave I honestly think most PhD programs need to radically cut back admissions. in reply to academicdave #
• @academicdave Well, it's that they've admitted too many in the past years, so the number should stay constant. in reply to academicdave #
• @jasonrhody It *is* awful, isn't it. No joy at all in that book. in reply to jasonrhody #
• @samplereality I think that it is. You could do J-Pod, as it's a retread of MS, but nowhere as good. in reply to samplereality #
• @amandafrench @clioweb @nowviskie Shh. Don't tell. More people will want to play along. in reply to amandafrench #
• You've still got time to apply for the UVa Scholars Lab's NEH-sponsored Institute for Enabling Geospatial schoalrship: http://bit.ly/7ihC8S #
• This is very much deserved: RT @brettbobley Congrats @mkirschenbaum on MLA First Book Prize http://bit.ly/6TkNTV #
• You've got to read @samplereality's #NaNoWriMo tips: http://bit.ly/6TjoGW. Tremendously clever. You'll have fun. #
• @digitalhumanist Congratulations! (I'm glad I didn't apply for the job as I wouldn't have stood a chance.) in reply to digitalhumanist #
• 3 hours of sleep. Or it would have been if I could have fallen asleep when I did go to bed. #
• @samplereality CafePress, definitely. It has that certain something that screams: "one-off." in reply to samplereality #
• @samplereality Collect them. Publish them. You've done it. Tip o' the hat. in reply to samplereality #
• @GreatDismal Many thanks. in reply to GreatDismal #
• @GreatDismal What was the wallet you recommended a while back? in reply to GreatDismal #
• @performaddict Not sure that *anyone* is ever ready for Orlan. in reply to performaddict #
• Prepping Watchmen. Going to (foolishly) teach the whole thing in two days as the grand finale to the World Lit class on the hero. #
• @clioweb Wow. Those are beautiful. in reply to clioweb #
• @ryancordell Congratulations! Will be good to see you there. (Now to just rustle up an interview for myself.) in reply to ryancordell #
• @billwolff You know that Nippon & Orient have same text but different presentations, right? (Did I just spoil the surprise for your class?) in reply to billwolff #
• Tonight, Finn wanted a story based on Freud's *Interpretation of Dreams*: http://bit.ly/7wXtrs. Seriously. #
• 3 year old and 6 year old dancing to "Take on Me" ftw. #
• Prepping Young-Hae Change Heavy Industries for tomorrow: Art of Sleep, Art of Silence, and Dakota. These guys are so great. #classprep #
• @rusackas Congrats! (TTIWWP) in reply to rusackas #
• Don't you hate it when you lose your center whie #grading? #
• @VZWOffers Yes, please. I know there's two different UIs and one is android 2.0 & other is 1.5. But don't really know what that means to me. in reply to VZWOffers #
• Okay. CLIR Fellowship is done. Took much longer than I had thought. But I think it's an okay application. #jobmarket #
• @VZWOffers Droid vs. Droid Eris? Any thoughts? in reply to VZWOffers #
• First rejection letter of this year's #jobmarket. Apparently I was one of 400 applicants. #
• All these CyberMonday deals make me wish I'd already figured out if we were moving to Verizon or AT&T. #
• Working on this CLIR post-doc application. Really need to wrap it up and turn my attention elsewhere. #jobmarket #
