Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-28
- Not sure what I did to my shoulder yesterday. But it's sure it isn't happy. #
- @amandafrench See, I thought it was CC-licensed. Consider attribution given!
in reply to amandafrench # - Twitter, tweeps, et al ftw. #
- @erinsells I actually negotiated around our lunch. Not to worry. in reply to erinsells #
- And…I just scheduled a second phone interview for next week. Witty things to say elude me. #jobmarket #
- In good news, however, I've managed to take an @amandafrench shot. #
- I have a piece coming out soon, and I've been asked to send a photo. You wouldn't believe how this is testing our marriage. #
- Always nice to see the LARPers smacking on each other in the quad. #
- @HannahRabon Try http://bit.ly to truncate your links. in reply to HannahRabon #
- Well, hell-o there, Impostor Syndrome! It's been a while, but it's nice to see you back again. #
- @kgoldschmitt Hopefully not. in reply to kgoldschmitt #
- FWIW I still hate my insurance company. #
- @nowviskie @jcmeloni That's a great post idea! in reply to nowviskie #
- @kgoldschmitt The thank-you note is a gift, although not really in Bataille's or Mauss's sense. [2/2] in reply to kgoldschmitt #
- @kgoldschmitt Book reviews don't serve the same function as I see it. It shows you've read it, but it goes on your CV. So seems self-serving in reply to kgoldschmitt #
- @ryancordell Those suck. And it's a reason for why peer review needs to be changed up a bit. in reply to ryancordell #
- @loscampesinos No love for Atlanta? I'm officially sadded. in reply to loscampesinos #
- @samplereality This means we can launch the DOS attack now, right? in reply to samplereality #
- @DrewBrittain Feel free to st. Nick her in return. Although you'll need to earn some DPs first. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @DrewBrittain If it's St. Nicks, you can only have 5 attached, so lay down five mines to get rid of them and then drop more. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @DrewBrittain Is she using St. Nicks or Watchdogs? If the former, the location doesn't matter. If the latter, just go elsewhere. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- Another reason for building your academic network (see http://bit.ly/bxLDVA) is that they can help you prep for #jobmarket interviews. #
- Is there a shortcut key for switching between OS X widgets in Dashboard? #
- @pitchforkmedia It took you long enough. That was apparent within the 1:29 of the first listen. in reply to pitchforkmedia #
- @JociLand Their best album is Citrus, but Hush is good too. It's shoegaze-y. in reply to JociLand #
- @nickproth You should check out http://bit.ly to truncate your links. in reply to nickproth #
- @JociLand They = good. I'm now on to Asobi Seksu. in reply to JociLand #
- This was a close runner-up for the image on that @ProfHacker post: http://bit.ly/avQ4dI. #
- My newest post at @ProfHacker explains how to "Expand Your Academic Network in 5 Minutes": http://bit.ly/bxLDVA. #
- Those with concerns about the academic #jobmarket should look at the Coalition on the Academic Workforce's new brief: http://bit.ly/a0vakd. #
- Band of Horses. #music #
- There's so many different choices I have for #grading today. And so I'll start with a @profhacker post that's not at all related. #
- @kickakitewunder @jociland @drewbrittain First person to my office in the next 20 minutes gets a free *print* copy of Halting State! #
- @erinsells Well, if you don't care, then it's not a problem. But if it's going to affect grade, I think you owe it him to give him heads up. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells To try curing non-participating students, give out preliminary participation grades. And make his brutal. in reply to erinsells #
- @samplereality Not sure, but it gives me the excuse to do this: http://bit.ly/atxKU3. in reply to samplereality #
- @mattthomas Right. The name probably refers to how few (%-wise) of that generation use social media, etc.But other titles aren't descriptive in reply to mattthomas #
- @samplereality I found it interesting that the generation before Baby Boomers was the "Silent Generation." Seems reductive. in reply to samplereality #
- @mattthomas No. But tweeting about your results afterward and obsessing about them is. in reply to mattthomas #
- 3 out of 4 classes took a mid-term today. I graded. And then got talked about Halting State in 4th class. Not a bad start to the weekend. #
- @KickakiteWunder Ah. That explains the laughing perhaps? in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- @jcmeloni Well, it's been a while since I read it, so I should probably qualify my statement. IOW, forget I said anything. in reply to jcmeloni #
- @jcmeloni I look forward to hearing how it goes. It's a piece that I have mixed feelings about. in reply to jcmeloni #
- @JociLand You can do it. Or at the very least recognize it will be over soon. in reply to JociLand #
- @JociLand Cite the name of the lexia in parentheses. in reply to JociLand #
- @ktcrow I shifted part way through grad school. One space sneetches are the best on these beaches! in reply to ktcrow #
- Glad to be doing a #geoinst pow-wow over Google Chat rather than voice. Cause this way they won't know that my voice is naked. #
- @KickakiteWunder You don't say? in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- @DrewBrittain Not a chance. Nice try. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- My day is rapidly slipping away. And I've still got a test to write and #classprep for #eng465. Thus was it ever. #
- @drnels I am using the #e399 and the #eng399 hashtags for a couple of classes. #eng465 is another, although it's not seeing heavy use yet. in reply to drnels #
- Nikola Tesla's letterhead is a-maz-ing: http://bit.ly/b7Tpxy. At Letterheady, which @foundhistory was kind enough to share. #
- @erinsells If you play with the settings afterward, you can see that single answers have a large sway on the score. Seems strange. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells No tatts. No piercings. Parents are still married. And I subscribe to a newspaper. in reply to erinsells #
- @cscannella So that means I'm 55? Or do you subtract your score from 100, so I'm 45 and you're 38? in reply to cscannella #
- I'm only a 55/100 on the millennial scale. I am officially old. http://bit.ly/aCSt1S #
- @boonebgorges Make that #cunypie charts? in reply to boonebgorges #
- @boonebgorges Are there any pie charts? in reply to boonebgorges #
- @JociLand @DrewBrittain @KickakiteWunder And now I'll go back to playing Bejeweled. in reply to JociLand #
- @JociLand @DrewBrittain I'll look forward to hearing more about this. in reply to JociLand #
- @KickakiteWunder @JociLand @DrewBrittain You can also buy it from Barnes and Noble and read on your computer. http://bit.ly/aVEmYn #
- @KickakiteWunder Both Barnes and Nobles in Greenville have it. in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- @KickakiteWunder You could buy it for the Kindle app and read it on your iPhone. (Which wouldn't be pleasant.) in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- @KickakiteWunder I understand that this isn't Emory. But I also have no control over the bookstore's stock and when they remainder books. in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- @KickakiteWunder @JociLand @DrewBrittain This is why you need to buy texts at the beginning of semester. *sigh* in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- @JociLand Well, see if you can find a copy on campus or in the neighborhood. Let me know if you can't. I *might* have an extra. Can't recall in reply to JociLand #
- It's a double-Sweden day! New albums from Shout Out Louds and Sambassadeur! Excuse me, now, while I go twee by myself. #music #
- Commute home was epic: the Fuck Buttons album finished right as I pulled into my driver. #music #
- @JenHoward At some point people will catch on to me and start paying my way. *Then* where will I get my buzz? in reply to JenHoward #
- Congrats @barbarahui and @ryancordell for #DH2010. I didn't apply because I knew cash flow would be a problem. #
- @JociLand They send extra copies back to the publisher after a while. Did they have it at the beginning of the semester? in reply to JociLand #
- @rusackas What do you mean? You've been following me for months! in reply to rusackas #
- @jbj So…you're saying you're the judge for the award for the best story? And I thought only @amandafrench was reading romance today. #
- @eetempleton It's unusual. And it means that I'll have some serious prep work to do as I have no excuse not to be awesome. in reply to eetempleton #
- @jonbecker Please do! in reply to jonbecker #
- @KickakiteWunder I will be exonerated. My class comes with an iron-clad EULA that you accepted by not dropping after the first minute. in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- They've sent questions ahead of time, which is nice. But it also means I've got some serious prep work to do. #jobmarket #
- @KickakiteWunder You are *not* safe from own bombs & if you switch tabs on a place where you placed a mine and switch back, you get nailed. in reply to KickakiteWunder #
- Phone interview scheduled. #jobmarket #
- @samplereality It's too bad that @Pierre_Menard_ appears to have not noticed your blog. in reply to samplereality #
- @erinsells But you then feel compelled to make it collaborative by asking questions to get them to do your reading for you. Which fails. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells I think it's because if one knows it well then one tends to have a particular reading to get to. in reply to erinsells #
- RT @ProfHacker: New at ProfHacker: @billiehara on "Writer's Bootcamp: Commitment (to Write)" http://bit.ly/blwu5d #
- @samplereality Curses. Condolences. And I hope it gets back in one piece. Would hate to lose what you'd done. in reply to samplereality #
- @samplereality But you've got the backups, right? Since you're big on that IIRC. in reply to samplereality #
- @zachwhalen Thanks, I just joined! in reply to zachwhalen #
- @clioweb I think it only appears if someone else is logged in to the same document. in reply to clioweb #
- @clioweb I *Swear* that there used to be a way for chatting in a previous version of GooDocs. I think you still can on spreadsheets. in reply to clioweb #
- Preparing to talk about ARGs, esp. Year Zero today in #eng465. #
- I just finished my assignment for a class to play @thenethernet for next 3 weeks: http://bit.ly/9RlzMG. #eng465 #cantbelieveigetpaidforthis #
- @HannahRabon "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." in reply to HannahRabon #
- @samplereality Whoever is running things needs to learn a lesson from today's XKCD: http://bit.ly/diAUsJ. in reply to samplereality #
- @dancohen That's a staggering figure. in reply to dancohen #
- Which just shows how strange our language is when we talk about what we do. [2/2] #
- "The word "whit" examined by a social philology is point at which cross both lateral metonymic associations and a vertical semantic coring" #
- @kelseyagnew Put me on the top of the list for some of that Shamrock shake. in reply to kelseyagnew #
- @bitchphd I'm not entirely sure yet I won't just walk away from it all. Which seems scary. It's good, however, to have a Bitch on my side. in reply to bitchphd #
- @readitlater The checkmark has disappeared from my FF location bar. Any options for getting it back? #
- I t appears that I'm finally rated on ratemy… My ship has arrived. #
- @bitchphd No. No offer for me yet. Just know that current situation is a last-resort for next year. in reply to bitchphd #
- @TCMcClernon I did mine *before* work today. Highly recommended. in reply to TCMcClernon #
- @bitchphd Lucky, lucky them. Although I *do* get a 400/600-level course since I'm an adjunct with PhD (read, all the better for exploiting). in reply to bitchphd #
- Just got my schedule for this Fall's courses. Too bad I'm not planning on being there, if I can help it. #
- Just had a flashing inspiration for a paper assignment. Beware, #eng399 and #e399! #
- Digital office hours (http://bit.ly/6d8hha) are through so I guess I better see to some #grading. #
- @joguldi FYI I'm fluent in Dutch in case you need a confirmation on translations. in reply to joguldi #
- Whoops! I got the URL wrong and just submitted an application for TATTCamp. Can't wait to see how you write "Digital Humanities" in kanji. #
- The newest mp3 of the week, in which I become a parody of myself while trying to talk about Swedish duo Marching Band: http://bit.ly/cLNrdx. #
- The cold medicine I took last night had me seeing double this morning. Took nap. Feel a bit better. This should make #grading fun. #
- @DrewBrittain If you want something similar to Neon Indian, then you should look at Washed Out. #

- @GeorgeOnline And I'd rather have a bound thing than a shelf of loose printed PDFs. But I'm a bibliophile. Can you survey your students? in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline But what's the total cost of PDFs? And what's the cost of used Nortons? in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline You mean it's going to write grant proposals for me?! in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline I wouldn't want to read things off a screen. I'd rather pay the $20 for a Norton. Or the $5 for a Dover. in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- One problem of adjuncting is that I don't have time to apply to the things that helps one move out of adjuncting. #downwardspiral #jobmarket #

- As I was #grading today I found myself reflecting on this @ProfHacker post by @nmhouston: http://bit.ly/d3Qtko. Really helped me. #
- @mirk79 I'm also trying very hard to cut down paper feedback. I now use a timer any time that I'm #grading. in reply to mirk79 #

- @eetempleton Yes, in those instances they are. But I'm not dealing with comp class now. Sorry for the confusion. in reply to eetempleton #
- In comp classes, I should mention, I tell students to write an argument that we HAVE discussed in class. Don't worry @ content, just form. #
- Question: what do you do when students' proposed paper topics are more or less what you already discussed in class? #
- @billiehara @jbj @georgeonline Do you know how @drnels is feeling these days? in reply to drnels #

- "In some cases, dissecting a poem can be as complicated as dissecting a cat." #grading #
- @amandafrench I tried that a few weeks ago, and it didn't go as well as this. Admittedly, it was the end of Lot 49, so it was a hard class. in reply to amandafrench #
- @filmsnob That's an essay I *have* to get the citation for. in reply to filmsnob #
- @joshbrez No. I believe they rejected me (along w/250 others). And the Chair decided to let me know s/he is aware of me & paper. Courtesy. in reply to joshbrez #
- @ryancordell I think they did. And to be honest, it worked. Nice to know that someone REAL (not mail merge) composed part of it. in reply to ryancordell #
- @katrinagulliver It's something to consider. May be inadvisable. But at this point in my #jobmarket search I can't not do it. in reply to katrinagulliver #
- @katrinagulliver Said that they read it with interest and sympathy. Didn't sound like it counted against me. in reply to katrinagulliver #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-14
- @academicdave Wow. Hadn't seen the nation's weather for a while. 12" in Dallas is much more #snowpacalypse than DC's 50 inches. in reply to academicdave #

- Thinking that my current mood swing is suggesting that I need a massive infusion of sleep. #

- @wpwend42 I'm going to do a fresh install on office computer tomorrow and see if I can replicate. in reply to wpwend42 #

- @HunterStofan In my 310 course, I make students write a paper on a single word in a poem. Beware! in reply to HunterStofan #
- Victory Garden is being SO weird. Am hitting loops much sooner than I ever have before. #
- @eastgate Should be more clear. Now that I can compare the two side by side, it appears that OS doesn't affect the text. Map still prob tho. in reply to eastgate #
- @eastgate Not seeing differences myself. Am having problem clicking on any portion of the map of garden though, in either OS 10.5 or 10.6. in reply to eastgate #

- @jaheppler I think the point is that it's based on those you email most.And your email habits didn't take introduction of #buzz into account in reply to jaheppler #
- I'm also thinking that Storyspace is working differently on Snow Leopard than on Leopard. Can you confirm this @eastgate? #

- Time to start *Victory Garden* again. #eng465 #

- @sfirth605 Invisible monkeys. in reply to sfirth605 #

- @eetempleton I normally know what I want, and since I can get it for $0.40/track, it's half as much as @amazonmp3 or others. in reply to eetempleton #

- @boonebgorges Dance! in reply to boonebgorges #

- Thomas Benton knocks it out of the park again on why no one should go to grad school: http://bit.ly/c3Cmip. #jobmarket #fail #dontgo #
- "For most, grad school is @ implicit promise of mid-class professional, @ not hating your job & wasting your life." http://bit.ly/c3Cmip #

- Taxes have been filed. Now to pay bills. Whee! #

- @MsAnastasia Wow. Looks great. Those are the best games evar. in reply to MsAnastasia #
- @eMusic As Busta Rhymes would put it, Woo. HA! in reply to eMusic #
- Listening to the new @Phantogram album on @allsongs' First Listen series: http://bit.ly/bzYQbj. This is really good. #music #
- Finished what I've been writing this week and sent it off to my editor who, for once, isn't @jbj or @GeorgeOnline. #
- @nickproth Still broken. Will check again later. in reply to nickproth #
- @eMusic Can you tell me if we're going to get Phantograms album on Tuesday? They're on Barsuk. #
- Trying out as as a futurist of the university. #
- @dancohen That sounds really useful for the LAMU community. in reply to dancohen #
- @HannahRabon Links? in reply to HannahRabon #
- I've run out little tasks that I was using to keep me away from the writing I've now got to do. #
- RT @nmhouston: My latest post @ProfHacker: Myers-Briggs, or how to learn to get along. http://bit.ly/a3wZLf #
- @samhoff Undoubtedly. in reply to samhoff #
- I'm using Twitter in 2 identical classes with a 3rd not using as control. #eng399 has embraced it while #e399 won't touch it. Interesting. #
- @loriemerson That rules. In a psychotic kind of way. in reply to loriemerson #
- @negaratduke Not ideal, but a very good air mattress. Better than all the others, I think. in reply to negaratduke #
- @emarsh I've already done mine. What's taking you so long? in reply to emarsh #
- @eetempleton @erinsells the @allsongs coverage is perhaps good enough for me then. in reply to eetempleton #
- @erinsells Nope. It's all or nothing. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells That's what it looks like. For a 5-day music pass. in reply to erinsells #
- Whoa. Wet snow falling in Clemson. #
- So this is the first time I've considered going to #sxsw …but not if it costs $700. #
- @mattthomas Although everyone in my class was unborn or only1 when the Gulf War went down. (And thank you very much,) in reply to mattthomas #
- All four classes went really well today, especially the Baudrillard. Not really what I'd expected. #
- @eetempleton @GeorgeOnline I have the first Midlake. It's nice, but I haven't been compelled to go back to it much. in reply to eetempleton #
- @eetempleton @GeorgeOnline Pitchfork *is* infuriating in a number of ways. But I feel that way about most writing @ music, mine included. in reply to eetempleton #
- @erinsells I wrote about Washed Out in October's mp3 of the week. in reply to erinsells #
- @chellebelle13 Are you feeling ready to be done with the Editor-in-Chief bit? in reply to chellebelle13 #

- @chellebelle13 I saw that. And I'm trying to figure out how Imma gonna sneak in. in reply to chellebelle13 #
- @billwolff I probably won't even have time to tell them that they should be reading Prufrock. Double curses! in reply to billwolff #

- @eetempleton Midlake got skewered today by @pitchforkmedia. in reply to eetempleton #
- @eetempleton It shouldn't be too bad. After all, I'm only teaching "Station" and "A Pact." Oh. And "Cantos." in reply to eetempleton #
- My discussion of modernism in #eng399 and #e399 is really just an excuse to get to show this Charles Sheeler photograph: http://bit.ly/nt45. #
- In 75 minutes tomorrow, I'm going to try to get through an overview of modernism, Pound, Frost, and Sandburg. I've made a huge mistake. #
- To counter @jbj's upcoming THS concert, I'd like to mention that Beach House and Washed Out are in Atlanta on 29 April. #
- @jbj You know me too well. I'll defer song writing duties to @georgeonline. I will simply look slovenly and menacing. I will *be* the townie in reply to jbj #
- @jbj Actually, come to think of it. If we start a band called The Townies, THS is *obligated* to let us open for them, right? #poeticjustice in reply to jbj #
- @jbj Watch out for the Townies. I hear they'll be there as well. in reply to jbj #
- @grbaum We can sneak into see Girl Talk, right? in reply to grbaum #
- @jbj Without Franz, of course. in reply to jbj #
- The letter K is probably going to be the hardest to talk through: http://bit.ly/c4k4nU. #
- The oldest can now read our framed Edward Gorey "Gashlycrumb Tinies" poster.Now to explain why his parents taste in art runs to infanticide. #
- @sleonchnm Backlogs are overrated. None of us were *that* interesting today. in reply to sleonchnm #

- Are you more likely to point people to your blog or to your Twitter if you're only giving them one URL? #geekpoll #
- @loriemerson It is strange, but I have to figure they want uncluttered feeds. in reply to loriemerson #
- @viola_lasmana That's why I turn off Twitter when I do write. I'm also working (very slowly) on a @ProfHacker post on this subject. in reply to viola_lasmana #
- Writing is HARD, when you haven't had the chance to do it for a while. #
- @mlaconvention Was there ever a total count released on #mla09 attendees? #

- @saschel Felicitations! Hup hup hoerja! in reply to saschel #
- @sterflu Oh, it's not blameworthy at all. Was just intriguing, and makes me wonder what class it is for. in reply to sterflu #
- @jbj It's intentionally borked so as to provide me with better tweet fodder. in reply to jbj #
- I and many of the DH tweeps I follow are suddenly getting followed by plenty of people at UT Austin. @johnmjones, is this your doing? #
- I just received an email from @jbj with the subject line "sauciness." #beafraid #
- @sterflu That's what Vonnegut said in Cat's Cradle about 50 years ago. in reply to sterflu #
- @erinsells And RESPECT! in reply to erinsells #
- @cscannella t00w! in reply to cscannella #
- @erinsells I had one at Emory too, sucka! in reply to erinsells #
- @mkirschenbaum He's in the next office over. Call back, and I'll pull him in here. in reply to mkirschenbaum #
- My office phone just rang for the very first time all year. Wrong number. #
- @AntArch That's what @nowviskie, @joegilbert, @barbarahui, @joguldi, and I are trying to figure out. #geoinst in reply to AntArch #
- I've posted the newest mp3 of the week, w/Pains of Being Pure at Heart. It's The Smiths run through a shoegaze filter: http://bit.ly/90DrBF. #
- @fearv Yes I do: http://thenethernet.com, in reply to fearv #
- As a favor to @erinsells, I'm going to quickly write up the new mp3 of the week. #music #
- Trying to do #classprep in record time as I'm a bit sick, like half of Twitter, it appears. #
- And since I've got writing to do, I'm going to cautiously withdraw the toes from Twitter. Just as @academicdave was getting going, too… #
- RT everyone: Legal Piracy today! Get a free copy of Adrian Johns's new book. http://bit.ly/9TK8Ol (via @dancohen) #
- After a weekend away from Twitter (thanks, hellacious moving-a-friend experience), it's always interesting to wade back in. #
- @erinsells Not new, but good. I guess I need to send out another mp3 soon, huh? in reply to erinsells #
