- @bitly Thanks, but it's not generating URLs on *any* pages. I click, and it just sits. in reply to bitly #
- @GeorgeOnline @ryancordell But I think a Text Expander is perhaps more useful for how I use it. in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- @GeorgeOnline 2ryancordell I love @ProfHacker for all these tools I never knew existed. I've been using Clips (http://bit.ly/9NPlSX). in reply to GeorgeOnline #
- RT @ProfHacker: New at ProfHacker: @ryancordell on "Smarter Typing Through Text Expansion" http://bit.ly/bF2sh0 #

- @FelixSmerd Pree-cisely. in reply to FelixSmerd #

- @ronaldho @sivavaid Thanks. I'd forgotten about the distinction. Clemson *is* a Google Apps school. in reply to sivavaid #
- @sivavaid Perhaps my univ counsel should freak about what they pay adjuncts first. Srsly: what about svcs like Dropbox? in reply to sivavaid #
- @sivavaid That perspective makes sense. in reply to sivavaid #
- @sivavaid I know it's not assignments going back,but where is the level of responsibility? (Says the guy who GooDocs his grade spreadsheets) in reply to sivavaid #
- @sivavaid But if we can't share assignments with 3rd parties, to what degree of risk do we expose them if Word reports details back to M$? in reply to sivavaid #
- @johnmjones That sounds like an approach that's destined to bring ire. Instead, I like @academicdave's point @ educating them. in reply to johnmjones #
- @sivavaid @jbj @johnmjones Expose them to what? To their writing being read by others? Sounds ideal to me.
in reply to sivavaid # - @sivavaid @jbj @johnmjones So where does the liability lie, then? Seems like it would have to be court-tested, right? in reply to sivavaid #
- @johnmjones @sivavaid @jbj It seems John's point is what happens. Individual profs go from school's interp. Anything else = too much time. in reply to johnmjones #
- @farman Is that a case of #tweetingtoohard in reply to farman #
- @farman I did the same thing with my band. It just so happened that my band *was* The Aquabats for a while. in reply to farman #

- @ryancordell You're doing graduation instead of #thatcamp right? Will you be around for #geoinst #
- It's May and we've already hit our health insurance deductible. Too bad that won't count for anything when I change jobs. #
- @sivavaid But what if students *choose* to do their work in Google Docs of their own volition. Is that still FERPA violation? in reply to sivavaid #
- @ontoligent Plan on it. Would love to meet you in person. in reply to ontoligent #
- @ontoligent Is he going to be talking about this at all at #geoinst in reply to ontoligent #

- RT @HASTAC: One of the best pedagogy forums ever. Still lively! Don't miss Teaching with Technology and Curiosity http://bit.ly/c3YQKL #
- @sivavaid So can one really use *any* cloud service and still be in the graces of FERPA? What about TurnItIn? in reply to sivavaid #
- @sivavaid For privacy issues, do you mean the fact that Google scrapes your docs? Or something else? in reply to sivavaid #

- @mkirschenbaum Wow. That's quite a team. Congratulations to @farman and the others. And to UMD! in reply to mkirschenbaum #
- RT @captain_primate: began writing an email to dept. chair. Realized that I put two hashtags in w/out thinking #iusetwittertoodamnmuch #
- In what would not be at all shocking to people in my diss group, my @ProfHacker post for tomorrow topped 1500 words. Average is 500-ish. #
- @captain_primate @jmcclurken http://bit.ly/aXt3L2 in reply to captain_primate #
- @captain_primate No. But @jbj might fly up for the initiation listening/hazing. in reply to captain_primate #
- @erinsells Tell me about it. in reply to erinsells #
- RT @GeorgeOnline: Why @ProfHacker is a "positive jam" (and why The Hold Steady are our unofficial house band), by @jbj http://bit.ly/d6MbAL #
- @HannahRabon You weren't in Atlanta today, I hope. Wouldn't be nice not to stop by and say hi. in reply to HannahRabon #
- Just spent some time with my friends, @acidhousekings, who have the most unintuitive name ever. #music #
- @HannahRabon @DrewBrittain Make that two of us. I need to listen to that album again. in reply to HannahRabon #
- That's it. Grades are submitted. No clue when I'll be doing that again. Split feelings on that, believe it or not. #
- As I'm entering final grades for #eng399 it appears that I could make some shifts to weighting things again. #
- @samplereality I presume you're building this house out of Ash? #bookgeekcred #

- @ibogost I'd reply…but I'm afraid I'd get WC'd. in reply to ibogost #
- Okay, @emusic will I be able to download @bssmusic's new one at midnight EST? #
- Got the iMac back. And they didn't need to replace the drive after all. So that gets a win. #
- @drnels That sums up nicely how I feel each time. I've just had 1.5 weeks to get over it at this point. in reply to drnels #
- Broken window can't be repaired until the broken door motor is. So now I'm going to be out more like $450. Wonderful. #

- Looks like it's going to be $200. So yeah. There goes the Wii. (Not that I have the TV yet on which to play it.) #
- My insurance (USAA) says they have hours on Saturday, but apparently those are only for emergencies. Website doesn't say this tho. FAIL #
- @captain_primate Ah! I see it now. Color me clueless… in reply to captain_primate #
- @captain_primate Might have actually gone better if I had *had* a Wii in the car. in reply to captain_primate #
- @captain_primate Good way of looking at it. Except they didn't get anything either. So it's an all-around fail for all involved. in reply to captain_primate #
- @cforster Side window. Alas. in reply to cforster #
- I can't tell you how much this screws up my plans to get a Wii. #geekfail #

- The most perplexing thing about the @Chronicle pay-wall is that falls down (30 days) right when comments close on stories. #

- 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. #

- @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. #

- 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 #

- @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 #

- 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 #

- My teaching days mean that I miss the entire Twitter happenings. #
- @eetempleton I'm *always* in the perfect MZD mindset. 4 hours makes me too much like Johnny. in reply to eetempleton #
- 4 hours of sleep does not necessarily a good professor make. #
- @farman It adds such an interesting dimension to some texts. I did it in my diss for @GreatDismal's *Pattern Recognition* as well. in reply to farman #
- @kmsqrd It's not so much about school spirit as it is about testing the quickness of the Twitter network in my media theory/lit class. in reply to kmsqrd #

- @samplereality @zachwhalen I like the description of it as a mule, except insofar that it did lead to THAT, which seems more a dead end. in reply to samplereality #
- @zachwhalen @samplereality I tend to call it the rebirth of the novel. Or demonstration of what books can do that no other media can. in reply to zachwhalen #
- @zachwhalen Wow. I have yet to get to that place with any book yet. And this one least of all. Like to have it all very fresh. in reply to zachwhalen #

- Am very glad to be turning off my computer for a bit and to lurch back into House of Leaves. #classprep #

- Newest post for @ProfHacker is scheduled. Time to go home and see the family. #
- @DrewBrittain That makes sense. I've actually expected more quick questions. The time I chose is probably not ideal either. in reply to DrewBrittain #
- @Sethuality Way to stay on top of the assignment. in reply to Sethuality #

in reply to joguldi # - And yes, I have in fact just pre-ordered the newest @GreatDismal novel. #
