- @derekbruff Except I always threw in a "Select" before start, since I always played with my brother. in reply to derekbruff #
- New mp3 of the week is up and features New Zealanders Cut Off Your Hands imitating The Smiths http://bit.ly/7uTcsK. #music #
- Time to write this month's mp3 of the week. #music #
- @danlowlite No. But my *next* band will be! in reply to danlowlite #
- @captwhiffle Ting Tings are the @amazonmp3 special of the day. You liked that one, right? in reply to captwhiffle #
- @coryb Made me look. in reply to coryb #
- Finding myself wondering if it is possible to name an album "Contra" and *not* be thinking about this: http://bit.ly/8RhQBN. #
- @captwhiffle "Giving Up the Gun" (my current track) is also very good. in reply to captwhiffle #
- @captwhiffle "Horchata" is very good. I was very meh about the first album. This is one is better. Only first time through. in reply to captwhiffle #
- Clearing out email while listening to the new Vampire Weekend. #
- @cscannella We're watching that too right now. in reply to cscannella #
- Found out today that I'm going to UVa's #geoinst. Now to break into #thatcamp to make it a full DH sweep in May. #
- Have emerged from the worst part, I think. Feel like I've been fasting and doing crunches. #
- @erinsells That's really weird. in reply to erinsells #
- Up most of the night with two people throwing up, it now appears that it's my turn. #tmi #
- I've convinced my book club to take on *Dictionary of the Khazars* for February. #
- @barbarahui But I liked the Asus keyboard. HP and MSI were also good. Battery life of Asus clinched it. Could also be hackintoshed. in reply to barbarahui #
- @barbarahui I returned it after 30 days when I decided I needed a full-sized laptop instead. Couldn't afford both. in reply to barbarahui #
- @barbarahui I really liked the Asus Eee 1005HA that I got: http://bit.ly/5BquDU. in reply to barbarahui #
- @triproftri It's a 400-level course, so they shld understand bibliographies. But they are novices w/ @zotero and other tech we're using. in reply to triproftri #
- @samplereality Thanks for the comments. Very helpful. in reply to samplereality #
- Came home early because Amber is super sick. Walked in just in time for the middle kid to throw up everywhere. Score. #
- Here's a draft of my @Zotero Group Bibliography Assignment: http://bit.ly/4S9HD2. Would love to have your thoughts about it. #rtingoneself #
- @DrewBrittain That's kind of what I was thinking. Although I don't know how extensive any grading commentary would be on my part. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- Here's a draft of my @Zotero Group Bibliography Assignment: http://bit.ly/4S9HD2. Would love to have your thoughts about it. #
- Hmm. @Zotero and @TheNethernet don't play nice with each other. This could be problematic. #eng465 #
- @benmiller314 I haven't shown it to students yet. Just designing the assignment now. Will let you know, though. in reply to benmiller314 #
- Writing my assignment for the collaborative annotated @Zotero bibliography. #eng465 #
- 60 minutes to finish #classprep starts…now! #
- @cscannella I like GG, but I kind of made a hash of it yesterday. That's what I get for doing it in one day, and UM in one day. in reply to cscannella #
- @eetempleton And I don't feel like I can penalize them for missed assignments when they weren't yet enrolled. in reply to eetempleton #
- @derekbruff I like teaching McLuhan for a start to media/tech course: http://bit.ly/5MYDBo. He's kind of eye-opening. Same as Virilio. in reply to derekbruff #
- @eetempleton Oh, I don't really catch them up. But there's already been assignments due. in reply to eetempleton #
- I dislike add/drop period so much for the having to catch people up to what we've already done. #
- @loriemerson I always wanted more structure from seminars. Often felt unsure if prof had idea other than saying "what'd you think?" in reply to loriemerson #
- @loriemerson And by "reading," I mean "reading." Off the page. Using jargon that we were in the class to learn. in reply to loriemerson #
- @loriemerson Just don't do what one of my profs did: starting the seminar by reading a 25-page paper. (S/he did it in both classes I took!) in reply to loriemerson #
- @loriemerson I think that's the real key. That, and coffee. in reply to loriemerson #
- @loriemerson It is. Be stunned. And then be awesome (AKA yourself). in reply to loriemerson #
- Doing #classprep for McLuhan's *Understanding Media*. My goal is to be 100x more clear to students than I was with *Gutenberg Galaxy*. #
- @jcmeloni Congratulations! in reply to jcmeloni #
- @fearv Because we're not sincere. And because we all believe that we're the best, and we're not above letting others know. in reply to fearv #
- And a rejection from the ACLS/Mellon post-doc fellowship. Not surprising, really. #jobmarket #
- @samplereality Smooth. in reply to samplereality #
- Felt like my 3 survey courses went really well. Felt like I blew chunks all over McLuhan. <sigh> #
- @megavark Now you've got me thinking. in reply to megavark #
- I've got 6 pages of notes for tomorrow's survey class. This shouldn't be a problem at all. #overkill #classprep #ilovethis #givemeajob #
- New term: Whit-maniacal. Adj. Wildly exuberant and expansive. Ex. "The 9th section of 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' is really Whit-maniacal." #
- @sramsay And now it's 50% off! Thanks, the boys will love this. in reply to sramsay #
- @sramsay Do you have a link for that? in reply to sramsay #
- @samplereality Aren't you glad the recession's over! (My sympathies. I'm on second day of my commute tomorrow.) in reply to samplereality #
- .@JenHoward's (of the @chronicle) newest is a *must read*: http://bit.ly/5bAs67. #
- @bitchphd I guess we're glad that we have hardwood floors. But now we'll have to *clean* them. Blech. in reply to bitchphd #
- We just learned that the oldest has a dust mite allergy. This explains much. #
- For the first time, I'm re-teaching two classes. Trying to figure out how to old notes effectively but still be my brand of overprepared. #
- RT @ProfHacker: New at ProfHacker: "Tools for Synchronous and Asynchronous Classroom Discussion," by @jcmeloni http://bit.ly/7IrEWI #

- @lubar I'll tell you what doesn't make a great teacher: wearing a bluetooth earpiece in the classroom. See lead image. in reply to lubar #
- @ibogost Perhaps it's just standard humanist's move to look at others & say they make the same moves we do. Deconstruction, badly done. in reply to ibogost #
- @academicdave Maybe it's just that I've been followed too much recently by business-speak bots on Twitter. in reply to academicdave #
- @Intellagirl I'm likely to buy it…and then poo-poo it.
#snob #music in reply to Intellagirl # - @academicdave Good point. But is that world any less insular than ours? Is point to escape the ivory tower? Or to argue about our relevancy? in reply to academicdave #
- While I thought their first album was good, not great, new Vampire Weekend is only $3.99 on @amazonmp3: http://bit.ly/4sk9BA.(via @cforster) #
- @performaddict @captain_primate If I'm Bethlehem, then it's slouching this way. in reply to performaddict #
- I'm intrigued by @ibogost's piece (http://bit.ly/55qyVq). But to what extent do other fields of study look at the "great outdoors"? #
- Trying to avoid #classprep. But it lurks. #
