- @SydneyLCrawford This happens from time to time. Alas. Shoot that damn thing. Silver Bullets FTW. in reply to andthensydsaid #
- @samplereality I think @sramsay or @mkirschenbaum said the exact same thing yesterday. in reply to samplereality #
- Ikea on a Saturday. Whee. #
- My second time through the new @bssmusic, and it's just getting better. #
- @omg_dinoz No, it actually wasn't.I'm not doing #eng465 yet, but it's surprising to see how low people score themselves but give group props in reply to omg_dinoz #
- @StabbityMax Pre-cisely. in reply to StabbityMax #
- It's so interesting to see my students grade selves on wiki assignment. There's nothing but honesty & sincerity as far as the eye can see. #
- @eetempleton That's good to know. I had to wait to buy a MacBook pro until I could get a matte screen. I </3 glare. in reply to eetempleton #
- @matthewjk I figured Batman would be the ne plus ultra of needing correct blacks. Good to know that it really matters. in reply to matthewjk #
- I am lovin' me some Gmail keyboard shortcuts at the moment. #
- @kelseyagnew Or to blog about blogs. Take your pick. in reply to kelseyagnew #
- @kelseyagnew You need more cat pictures for the book deal. in reply to kelseyagnew #
- As I'm starting to read about TVs, I have to admit that I'm surprised that the blackness of black is such an important thing to so many. #
- @lnakamur One could say the same thing about House of Leaves. If the narrative is compelling, what more do you need? in reply to lnakamur #
- Time to write something quick for @nowviskie. #
- @mackenziecruce It's only slightly worse than working on grades on a Friday night. in reply to mackenziecruce #
- @eetempleton A Bravia? in reply to eetempleton #
- RT @dancohen Think the creation of a database is a less worthy historical project than a monograph? Read this: http://nyti.ms/a1gpIW #
- @alogemann I think having a group do notes every day, with maybe 5 days not doing it throughout the semester (tops) is the best model. in reply to alogemann #
- @JenHoward I am not convinced either. I just need something basic. The amount of options out there is overwhelming. in reply to JenHoward #
- Dear Twitterverse. It appears I need to buy a new television. Please advise. #
- Time to write a final for #eng399 and #e399 #
- RT @ProfHacker: New at ProfHacker: @acavender on "Faculty Benefits from Writing Across the Curriculum": http://bit.ly/a8zB23 #
- Serious May 4th? New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, and The Hold Steady? #
- @sramsay History suggests it will be the HTC Cars. Followed by the HTC Ratatouille. in reply to sramsay #
- @iantrevor The result was that they didn't get a feel for the assignment. And didn't have as much buy-in in reply to iantrevor #
- @iantrevor In one class, I did notes on an infrequent basis. 12 sets of notes over semester. Groups went several weeks between turns. in reply to iantrevor #
- @fearv I'm not sure what to make of a Brendan Canning without a beard. Seems wrong somehow. in reply to fearv #
- To the tune of "Rawhide": " #grading grading grading. Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them students movin'. Gradin' !" # - Something that I learned this semester: having students do wiki notes on a not-everyday basis makes for a much less successful assignment. #
- @amandafrench @sherah1918 @betajames Turning off Twitter now, so feel free to go crazy. in reply to amandafrench #
- @amandafrench How could you not? Emilio is a blight on humanity, and Mila (while cool) isn't Seth Aaron. in reply to amandafrench #
- @sherah1918 @amandafrench Or I could be nice and just get off Twitter. [Seth Aaron FTW!!!] in reply to sherah1918 #
- @amandafrench I'm watching it on the website, which means I won't see it until Sunday. Which means NO SPOILERS! in reply to amandafrench #
- @lindsaymartini I liked the first two books quite a lot. The next 2 weren't ever all that interesting to me. in reply to lindsaymartini #
- @DrewBrittain His novels aren't as fast paced as that story; but I find them super rewarding. Plowing the Dark is @ virtual reality. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @DrewBrittain Any story that lets me namecheck chiptune, LCD Soundsystem, and Crystal Castles tends to go that way. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @DrewBrittain Having said that, those two books aren't nearly as up to date as "Modulation." Since they're 10-20 years old. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- My last class is taught. When will I be doing this again? Not sure. But at least I went out on House of Leaves, Richard Powers, & chiptune. #
- .@silverasm An excellent point. Definition depends on where one is standing. But here is where collaboration matters. in reply to silverasm #
- @erinsells Yes, yes, and no. Alas. in reply to erinsells #
- @ktcrow I think the cut-off age is around 7-8. It is adorable on kids. in reply to ktcrow #
- @scottpen Is it really that warm in MI already? It's 80 here today, so it seems understandable. in reply to scottpen #
- @eetempleton How *does* one wear signify ironic wearing of the suit? It's amazing that we can read such gestures. Humans rule. in reply to eetempleton #
- @MichaelJAltman As someone from the West, I salute your right to fly your seersucker colors! in reply to MichaelJAltman #
- @DrewBrittain I would do 3 Farmers or Galatea 2.2. I'm going to read the new one, so I can't talk about that. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @samplereality The short story "Modulation." Came out in 2008. Brilliant piece. You'd love it. in reply to samplereality #
- You know you're in the South when you see seersucker shorts. #
- Last day of the semester. My survey class gets to talk about chiptune (esp. @sabrepulse) and Richard Powers. #eng399 #e399 #
- @mikhailg Yes. It should. When the digital is still viewed w/suspicion by T&P, however, there's usefulness in group identification. in reply to mikhailg #
- @mikhailg Appreciated. I'll think more about how to rephrase it. Gloria Anzaldua has suggestions, I'd imagine. in reply to mikhailg #
- @mikhailg I agree. DH is just a methodology for humanities work. But I've found the methodology comes w/community that reg. humanities lack. in reply to mikhailg #
- @mattthomas The original talk? Hadn't even thought about that. Guess we know why I'm moving toward #alt ac… And I own it. in reply to mattthomas #
- @DrewBrittain Sausage McMuffin w/o egg. Always. Hot Cakes = warm cardboard. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @whitneyboles TTIWWOP in reply to whitneyboles #
- @mikhailg DH is absolutely part of the humanities. But I don't know if humanists always see it as such. And praxis btw the two differs. in reply to mikhailg #
- @mattthomas I don't doubt it. And I know that almost every recent #jobmarket interview I had knew about it. It didn't hurt, that I could see in reply to mattthomas #
- @sivavaid My life on the academic D-List. I'm still stunned by the whole thing. in reply to sivavaid #
- What the humanities most need to learn from digital humanities is the possibility of collaboration and community. #du10 #
- @sivavaid You love me! You really love me! in reply to sivavaid #
- Why do all the cool Twitter events suddenly seem to happen when I'm elsewhere? #du10 (Will have fun reading through the hashtag.) #
- @JawsdeLine I've got 2 sources from you, but no note for the Hayles article. in reply to JawsdeLine #
- @DrewBrittain There's a good chance that others are jamming the system. Mine is trying to sync right now. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @samplereality Secret handshakes too, of course. in reply to samplereality #
- Doing final #classprep for the semester. Feeling torn about that in multiple ways. #
- @lanerogers "Modulation." It was published in 2008. All about file swapping and audio viruses. in reply to lanerogers #
- Riding on a shuttle and all but weeping at this Richard Powers story. So smart, so clever. #
- @erinsells #jobmarket / #academia #fail in reply to erinsells #
- I'm glad to discover that my new position makes me reluctant to pursue $20/hour grading opportunities. #
- @betajames No. That's what I meant. I guess I should have realized the Intertoobs are smarter and faster than I am. + I should have searched in reply to betajames #
- I like a good "Downfall" parody as much as the next guy. But can we just do a "Downfall parody" Downfall parody and then be done with them? #
- Regretting again that I won't be able to make the @omeka Playdate or Rosenzweig Forum on Tech and Humanities in connection with #thatcamp #
- @veek I don't know for sure about the latter. Paging @dancohen… in reply to veek #
- @veek Good question. Obviously there's http://bit.ly/5gRCN1
. But I'd love to see you post your results to the query. in reply to veek # - It appears that @erinsells and I are going to tempt fate again and try to have a lunch get together. #
- I've decided I need to work w/two monitors this morning, which means a Windows box (first time in a while) & Brizzly. One is really nice. #
- @lindsaymartini House of Leaves, much? in reply to lindsaymartini #
- @FelixSmerd FTW. in reply to FelixSmerd #
- @triproftri So I'm not sure how pedagogy-oriented the tweets will be. But I'll be mixing it up in other ways. Awfully decent of you to ask. in reply to triproftri #
- @triproftri There will be teaching in the library. And a chance for teaching in a dept too. But teaching isn't its focus. in reply to triproftri #
- @samplereality That's a handsome chicken, I'd say. in reply to samplereality #
- @DrewBrittain I'll have to teach a Wheel of Time class, I suppose. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @samplereality Not a problem. I just was faced with seeing myself through the eyes of those I've never met IRL. And it was shocking. in reply to samplereality #
- @KeepWundering @lindsaymartini Wheel of Time? I think I stopped at around Book 6. in reply to KeepWundering #
- @samplereality And this is why one shouldn't hand out links to one's whole flickr page. in reply to samplereality #

- @omg_dinoz I'll try to incorporate a physical challenge tomorrow. in reply to omg_dinoz #
- @erinsells I've been thinking the same thing. Which isn't nice to say since I *do* have something for next year. in reply to erinsells #
- I totally want to make a documentary on YHCHI. I'd call it *M0NAC0*. #
- @jenterysayers I've had really good success in getting them around to liking it. The goal is to show them that they can close-read it. in reply to jenterysayers #
