Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-05

Brian — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 07:11:00 +0000

For the last 3 Sundays, we've been feeding bachelors whose families are out of town. We'll try for next week for a hat trick. #
@kfitz Yes please! in reply to kfitz #
@iantrevor You're very welcome. Glad that they're useful. #opensourcepedagogy in reply to iantrevor #
@ralphie1 Maximum of 70 turns per day, plus the bonus 10 you can get from a Twitter refresh. in reply to ralphie1 #
@ralphie1 You get one more action every six minutes or so. So you come back every hour, a couple times a day. You in reply to ralphie1 #
#ebz The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! Wraps round your throat like a cheap cravat! http://fallenlondon.com/c/140616 #
At our yearly small town 4th od July parade. But they moved the grandstand. #
Apparently I've broken 10k tweets. My condolences to all of you. #
@erinsells The life of an academic is a bitch, that's for sure. in reply to erinsells #
@kfitz THIS is why it pays to be connected! in reply to kfitz #
@samplereality Always hard to do. in reply to samplereality #
@acavender Yes. Adding footnotes to posts. There's http://bit.ly/cMqcsj and http://bit.ly/akB6K4, but I wondered if people had recs. in reply to acavender #
Tweeps, do you have a favorite WordPress plugin for footnotes? #
@adamclyde Could be worse. They could be going to France. in reply to adamclyde #
@adamclyde @hwhitneyphd The iPhone/Android debate. #
@hwhitneyphd The iPhone/Android debate. #
Woot!!! #worldcup #
@hwhitneyphd Same here. in reply to hwhitneyphd #
Why, @mlaconvention, can I not edit my contact info/profile on mla.org until enrollment begins? #
Red card for Brazil. This might go our way. #worldcup #
2-1! 2-1! 2-1! #worldcup #
Goal for Nederland! Hup holland hup! #worldcup #
New at @ProfHacker: @acavender poses the timeless question, "iPhone or Android?" http://bit.ly/bHvb7T #
@ibogost What, pray tell, is the best specimen of human culture that *is* online? in reply to ibogost #
@JenHoward Will do. Tonight. in reply to JenHoward #
@loscampesinos Of Montreal. in reply to loscampesinos #
Back at the desk. Sad to see the Dutch are one down already. #worldcup #
@wpwend42 Hmm. Maybe it's something wonky on Emory's network today. The rest of Google seems to be working fine. in reply to wpwend42 #
Is Google Docs down for anyone else? #
@sherah1918 I hope not. That would *not* be good for one's skin. in reply to sherah1918 #
@JenHoward Ummm…. in reply to JenHoward #
@captain_primate Yeah. I was just thinking that last night. It drops leaves early every year. But this is the earliest. in reply to captain_primate #
Curses! The Dutch-Brazil game starts during a meeting. #worldcup #
@erinsells He's just absorbing urbane writing style, one way or another. in reply to erinsells #
RT @ProfHacker: New at ProfHacker: "Your I-Will-Never List," by @drnels http://bit.ly/a2tXNg #
@digitalhumanist The next move is obviously to buy the barista a #thatcamp trucker hat. in reply to digitalhumanist #
Why is the tree in our front yard already dropping leaves? #
My newest at @ProfHacker talks about my favorite Gmail Labs: http://j.mp/98iszq. What are yours? #
@erinsells Oh I remember when you joined. Jan. 23, 2008. Same day as me. ECIT-Beck Center experimentation FTW. in reply to erinsells #
@erinsells I forget that when people are slow to join Twitter that they don't know every last thing I've ever done. in reply to erinsells #
@erinsells It's *so* worth teh $4. in reply to erinsells #
New at @ProfHacker: @jbj revisits "The Attendance App for iOS Devices": http://bit.ly/cROMTK #
@nkogan They've chosen some good ones this month. I miss La La too, but I'll vouch for the Crystal Castles one. in reply to nkogan #
The first search they just ran for us totally failed qua relevancy. #
Are there ever times when it would be more advantageous to let users not have a single search box? #
Also: these PowerPoint slides aren't well designed. Think about your presentation, @oclc. #
Shouldn't WorldCat LicL just be cLled LocalCat? #
Attending a presentation by @OCLC on a new catalog backend. #thrillsChills #
@nkogan That they make the new album one of July's $5 albums. in reply to nkogan #
@amazonmp3 So you didn't listen to my request about Crystal Castles. But I still bought it this morning. You win, I suppose. #
@HannahRabon It's worked in other classes of mine. It really depends on the class make-up. in reply to HannahRabon #
@jcmeloni Some major work on the introduction I'm writing. in reply to jcmeloni #
Am totally exhausted. To bed? At 9pm? I think so. #
#ebz Refresh! http://fallenlondon.com/c/136364 #
@jcmeloni All done and LOUD! in reply to jcmeloni #
@samplereality Glad you found something. Our Subaru dealer was the least helpful. Honda was great. Hence… in reply to samplereality #
@kfitz This is the downside of the recent shellshock of grad school poverty: reluctance to spend money on software. in reply to kfitz #
@kfitz And do you have the iPad/iPhone app too? in reply to kfitz #
@kfitz Do you read "Single User" at http://bit.ly/9bvTyQ to mean I could use across all my computers? in reply to kfitz #
@jbj @kfitz I also hold a grudge against Flickr for requiring me to use a completely different account than anything else. in reply to jbj #
Curses. Why can I never remember my yahoo password/account name? #
@amandafrench Have you tested starting with @oclc? As I understand, the tweets *must* start with the hashtag, which is bad practice. in reply to amandafrench #
@amandafrench Huh. You're right. Using quotes only drops 69 sources. in reply to amandafrench #
@amandafrench I think you'll get better hits with biography "Andrew Carnegie." It takes some playing around. (Also: what's #mtogo ) #
The previous is something @samplereality should consider for his next @profhacker post on mobile tools and the library. #
You can now search WorldCat via Twitter using #ask4stuff See http://bit.ly/90tIbl and http://bit.ly/c24GKf for more info. #
@iantrevor Something like that. With more tears. in reply to iantrevor #
@erinsells I don't want to hear about you birthday flashing anyone. in reply to erinsells #
@ryancordell Not as odd as Winter in the negatives will be. in reply to ryancordell #
@brettbobley I can haz grant?! in reply to brettbobley #
@jcmeloni Then I *will.* in reply to jcmeloni #
@billiehara hugzorz!! in reply to billiehara #
@jcmeloni And besides. @sherah1918 follows acceptable Internet patterns of including her birth year in her handle, right? in reply to jcmeloni #
@jcmeloni True. (I just wanted to talk about relationship failwhales. Got to trademark the term first!) in reply to jcmeloni #
@sherah1918 Isn't it obvious? @jcmeloni's working on an ODH grant to datamine the generational experiences of DHers. in reply to sherah1918 #
It's always sad when you try to DM someone only to find out that they no longer follow you. It's like a relationship #failwhale #
@jcmeloni hugzorz!! in reply to jcmeloni #
I love Twitter best when everyone's here. It's like The WELL. Or #THATCamp #
@jbj 2 days per month down here. It's a pretty nice policy. in reply to jbj #
@amazonmp3 You wouldn't be interested in putting the new Crystal Castles on sale for $5 in July, would you? #
Just had to take some medicine and write an awkward email. #deadlines #
@jbj In the library? Everyone. We librarians don't get 3-month vacations. in reply to jbj #
@jcmeloni @barbarahui I will be pleased to tell you all about the two flannel shirts that I alternated between every other day in 1993. in reply to jcmeloni #
Wonderfully excited to find that The Tough Alliance's Eric Berglund's new project CEO is available on eMusic: http://is.gd/d9qFy. #music #
Twice this afternoon I decided to go talk with someone rather than send an email. They weren't there. #profhacker #
@barbarahui Boo for moving. in reply to barbarahui #

@candace_nast I don't have any stats to share. You can see Emory's YouTube channel is updated regularly: http://bit.ly/90svOS in reply to candace_nast #
@digitalhumanist Looks like it. At the Full level, no less. in reply to digitalhumanist #

@veek It's a lot of money for a simple piece of aluminum. And I don't love the lap/wrist velvet cushion. But it detaches. in reply to veek #
@veek Haven't needed it for warmth with unibody MB Pro. But it's good to have for typing. Don't use it much on lap. in reply to veek #

Hup holland! #worldcup #
@roxieblog It really is great for the desk. I don't love the wrist cushion when using it on my lap, but others I know can't work w/o it. in reply to roxieblog #
@amandafrench @JenHoward Cf. Wallace Stevens, WCW, and many of the modernists. in reply to amandafrench #
@jimgroom So this would allow posts to only be visible to UMW readers when logged in to their accounts? Great to know about. in reply to jimgroom #
Atlas Sound is a good way to start the morning. #music #
@roxieblog Haven't needed it for warmth with unibody MB Pro. But it's good to have for typing. in reply to roxieblog #
@roxieblog I bought http://bit.ly/9jfSbS when I got the laptop since previous MacBook pros ran so warm. in reply to roxieblog #
@jimgroom We have our own theme, but it's a bit bland (like cottage cheese is bland). in reply to jimgroom #
@jimgroom I'm asking all this b/c Emory now has WPMU install, and I'm trying to push it to be as open as possible. #
@jimgroom I can see the utility of doing that. in reply to jimgroom #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-06-27

Sigh. #worldcup #
@kfitz Isn't that what you're always already doing? #deconstructionisfunny in reply to kfitz #
@jimgroom I think I found my answer to both questions. How do new themes/plugins get considered? #
@nowviskie She looks SO much like you. in reply to nowviskie #
@jimgroom Also do you allow students to install their own plugins? #
I've submitted an undergrad friendly design/slogan to Threadless: http://bit.ly/9E5Dm0 #
RT @jcmeloni: 772 miles ago the odom eter hit 110110 and I tried to figure out what that was in decimal. 54, I think. #
RT @acavender: My latest at @ProfHacker: An update on blog editors: http://j.mp/b0h1C1 #
@jimgroom Does UMW Blogs allow students to install any WP theme they like? Or do you have a set list they can choose among? #
The amount of handwringing going on over the changes to the lights is epic. Sounds like I'm the only one who likes it. #
@alogemann That sounds like a Richard Powers's novel. in reply to alogemann #
@jcmeloni And therefore tax deductible! in reply to jcmeloni #
I just Nederland-ed my Firefox: http://bit.ly/ayi4Ze #worldcup #fxcup #

@foundhistory And does it notify you when your time is running out? Sounds like a great system. in reply to foundhistory #
@billiehara And those plane tickets. And that food. And… in reply to billiehara #
A plus of an #alt ac job over faculty: I won't be waiting 6 weeks to get my first pay check. #
The library installed new "daylight" lights last night. It's very different light, but everything is *much* brighter. Win. #

@samplereality And the price varies by dealership. But I went to the biggest dealer in my area (that was still w/USAA) and they matched. in reply to samplereality #
@samplereality Accessories the dealer adds are of course extra. But you *don't* pay destination charges. in reply to samplereality #
@samplereality It helped that Hondas don't come with many options. You just pick the model level (EX, LX, etc), and go with that. in reply to samplereality #
@samplereality You can put the colors in on the website. But my exp showed that such things didn't affect the price I'd pay. in reply to samplereality #

Just checked my bit.ly stats for that mp3 OTW (bit.ly/cSQh0O+ ). Apparently, like James Murphy, I'm losing my edge. #kloutfail #
And for those questioning why I'm only *now* posting about Neon Indian, please see my acquisition of a Wii 2 weeks ago. #bleedingedge #music #

@jbj That's a great shot. in reply to jbj #
@BryanAlexander I found thinking spatially about the whole presentation rather than one slide per time was a challenge. in reply to BryanAlexander #
Now it's time to look into @HootSuite for integration with @EmoryLibraries twitter account. #
@nkogan So far it looks interesting. The FB integration is where it differs from my normal approach. No clue what students wld think tho. in reply to nkogan #
@boonebgorges Oh no. Don't remind me about that. (Shh…) in reply to boonebgorges #
@BryanAlexander I think of it as a canvas.#NITLE Camp in reply to BryanAlexander #
@HootCourse How do you change the settings on which course it takes you to when entering the website? #
@chellebelle13 Have you heard of the internet? http://espn360.com in reply to chellebelle13 #
@HootCourse Well, I won't be teaching in coming semester. But I might teach others how to use something like @HootCourse in my new position. in reply to HootCourse #
@PasteMagazine Arcade Fire's Neon Bible website was amazing. in reply to PasteMagazine #
@HootCourse None of which is to say that the service you're offering isn't useful. I'm just trying to see where it differs from what I know. #
@HootCourse And also a good point. But I tend to see what I discuss class as part of my topicality as a prof. But that's my own perspective. in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse Right. Although I can use a hashtag search in a Tweetdeck column to do the same thing. in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse Meaning that most people don't want to add all their students to who they regularly follow? in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse But I see the point about FB. in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse But if I have a class acct that follows all students, then I can use that account to monitor/project those tweets. in reply to HootCourse #
New at @ProfHacker: @billiehara and @billwolff start Composing w/Images Press, invite "Photos for the Gulf of Mexico" http://bit.ly/aD6L3W #
@HootCourse Okay. I'm just trying to figure out how I would actually implement this in class as opposed to a class Twitter account. in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse But if my students aren't following me on Twitter, only following the website, how will they get my tweets? in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse And can you toggle the checkbox within a tweet? Another hashtag perhaps? in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse I assume it is the latter, but I'm still trying to understand how the push/pull works. in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse And if I tweet a cancellation *to* #hootcourse then it pushes out to students via Twitter? Or the website? Or FB? Or all 3. in reply to HootCourse #
@HootCourse @derekbruff That's a good plan. There's not enough visual difference at the moment. in reply to HootCourse #
@derekbruff Yes. I'll invite you to my course. When you've got two, your dashboard is a mash-up of all courses. in reply to derekbruff #
I lied. One more. #HootCourse #
@derekbruff *Or* if you post from your dashboard, it automatically routes everything to all your courses. in reply to derekbruff #
@derekbruff If you use the #hootcourse hashtag, it goes to ALL your classes, whether you're teacher or student. in reply to derekbruff #
And one more test before I annoy you all to death. #eng399 #
Testing a post to @DerekBruff's course. #vucrypto #
I'm testing a post to both of my #HootCourse s from Echofon. #
@HootCourse @derekbruff But if someone IS in the course, their hashtagged tweets will get included even if made outside HootCourse site? in reply to derekbruff #
@nowviskie @clioweb Very cool to see collaboration between two of my favorite DH people/schools. in reply to nowviskie #

@footnotesrising It's certainly worth sharing those things. I was trying to make sure that we weren't *excluding* a particular type of space in reply to footnotesrising #
@joegilbert And fictional space is really different from real space. How do we represent that effectively? cf. Temporal Modeling. #geoinst in reply to joegilbert #
@joegilbert No. What I meant was that "field work" seems to suggest that geospatial work must necessarily be linked to real space. #geoinst in reply to joegilbert #
.@amyeetx So would it be worth discussing this? I'm not going to try broaching it now. #geoinst #
.@amyeetx makes great point that we need to not get stuck in a single dataviz rut w/ our (geospatial) tech-humanities projects. #geoinst #

Germano: organizing knowledge & large projects might be "service" but it's also scholarship. It reqs. intellectual background. #geoinst #
What Germano is talking about is a completely different model.It's putting self in social network dedicated to knowledge production.#geoinst #
Germano talking about the problems of promotion. He didn't go up for full for 10 years because he didn't have time. #geoinst #
RT @barbarahui:Germano:use an existing project like THL, Hypercities, AfricaMap, (NYPL Warper!).Creating these things is $$ & pain! #geoinst #

Lot of questions for Germano on how he pulls this all off. #geoinst #
Gemano gives some love to spreadsheets and database backends. (hear that, @barbarahui and @jcmeloni?) #geoinst #
People that aren't at #geoinst simply can't believe the rate at which Germano gave this talk. 2.5-hour presentation in 35 minutes. #
Germano used the girlfriend/partner test to vet the design of the site. Need to think about multiple audiences. #geoinst #
@ryancordell @eviedc I think you need a Movers' Lab. in reply to ryancordell #
@nowviskie Merely assembled it in an hour, huh? #geoinst in reply to nowviskie #
IOW: If this system was designed for the West, would there have been more limited categories due to our familiarity. #geoinst [2/2] #
I wonder if the flexibility of Germano's system comes from the need to translate across cultures. #geoinst [1/2] #
Multitude of calendars in Tibetan/Himalayan Library because the calendrical systems/experience differs radically. #geoinst #

@jtheibault It was pre-recorded. Screencast. in reply to jtheibault #
Germano has decided to do a lightning talk for all 45 minutes. Pretty mind-boggling. #geoinst #
Germano: no one knows what a gazetteer is. Rename it "Place Dictionary" and no one asks what it is ever again. #geoinst #
Germano is brave: he's talking up against a screencast to give us a tour of Tibetan Library. #geoinst #

Germano advocating for breaking down boudaries between faculty, staff, and students and see that we're all working together. #geoinst #
Germano: Services(s) are good in every sense of the wor(l)d. Don't worry @ websites (AKA personal fetishes). Worry about services. #geoinst #
Germano: Participatory knowledge leads to better knowledge and better ethics. #geoinst #
Germano: Ontologies are a fundamental key to place and time. #geoinst (These are Germano's "Essentials, btw). #
Germano: Gazetteers are Glorious & Good. We don't just need to map. #geoinst #

It's important to have established nomenclature for your files so you can follow their transformation through project development. #geoinst #
@caffeneko I think that the problem is also figuring out how to use this crowdsourced work; if there's so much, it's hard to evaluate. in reply to caffeneko #
I was talking about this importance of making your own map to learn the data over lunch with Martyn Jessop and @amwhisnant. #geoinst #
Going through making a map allows you to learn the data. Do the work yourself to get that learning. #geoinst #
GIS good at analyzing many layers of information, but still poorly analyzes events over time. Spatial depth, temporal shallowness. #geoinst #
The language of GIS expresses ideas in more absolute way than any verbal language does. Info in GIS is a 0 or 1. #geoinst #
RT @amwhisnant: Afternoon session. Knowles: History traditionally verbal; spatial thinking fundamentally visual. #geoinst #
Ann Knowles asks reviewers to comment on the maps/illustrations as they are part of the argument. #geoinst #
@retius Right. So how can we determine who's providing valuable layers and who's not? #geoinst in reply to retius #
Work on something like Hypercities gives undergraduates the transferable skills I was talking about at #thatcamp #geoinst #
For the role of the expert, one wonders how much of an "expert" Benjamin was when doing the Arcades Project. #geoinst #
Street art project would of course be problematic vis a vis my insistence on letting some things erase themselves (like Agrippa). #geoinst #
Me: It would be a great layer for Hypercities/Google Earth to track street art (a la Banksy or taggers) in Berlin, London, LA. #geoinst #
Ann Knowles asks Presner if it's possible to have a map be an argument unto itself. #geoinst #
Hypercities as platform for making arguments with visuals and with text.Allows you to incorporate others' data to enrich your work. #geoinst #
Geotemporal curation allows us to compare public-recorded experience of Tehran protests vs. official channels. #geoinst #
Hypercities allows you to pull data in from other locations. It's a connective tissue of geodata, using KML as standard. #geoinst #
Presner showing us how his German students use Hypercities as a platform for making rhetocial arguments. #geoinst #
Historical maps, satellite maps, and memory maps live side-by-side in Hypercities.#geoinst #
Presner showing us the list of Hypercities team members. Glad to see so much sharing of the credit here. #geoinst #
Hypermedia Berlin (http://bit.ly/aN9YfL) is *not* a GIS project. It's linking representations to representations. #geoinst #
@amwhisnant I'm not sure. If it's about stories, then it's a public history/literature project. #geoinst in reply to amwhisnant #
RT @nowviskie: #geoinst Presner began Hypercities by thinking not so much about layers as about narratives through space and time. #
Paul Gilroy, Frederic Jameson, Franco Moretti cited as other people in spacial turn in humanities. #geoinst #
RT @victoriaszabo: older new media to explore spatial dimensions of "urban modernity" – to be "conducted downward in time" #geoinst #
Presner: there have been many spatial turns in the humanities. He cites Benjamin's Arcades Project as one. #geoinst #

@JawsdeLine Yeah. Sorry about that. I'll be done on Thursday evening with these conferences. in reply to JawsdeLine #
Ann Knowles acknowledgment page begs the question of why all these people's names aren't on the final, published piece. #geoinst #
In order to make a accurate map, you might build on the work of the many (enthusiast) historians. #geoinst #
.@nowviskie And those are the new questions that geospatial work makes possible. #geoinst #
Knowing how tall Lee was, where he stood, and having an accurate map of the are helps us know for sure what he saw. #geoinst #
80-95% of project time should be planned for preparing the data, quoth Knowles. #geoinst #
These maps of Gettysburg are making the argument for the importance of beautiful final maps. #geoinst #
Knowles: discussing "What Lee Could See at Gettysburg" in http://bit.ly/dhYfsm. #geoinst #
Ann Knowles: Maps need to be much more than illustrations if you want to think spatially. #geoinst #

@muziejus Part of the issue is hard it is to work in ArcGIS though, right? #geoinst in reply to muziejus #
@historying Glad it made sense to someone. #geoinst in reply to historying #
Wonder how an epidemiologist would build this map. Salem witch trials as epidemic. #geoinst #

New at @ProfHacker: @captain_primate on "Using Open Atrium to Manage Collaborative Academic Projects": http://bit.ly/awAKm6 #
.@footnotesrising True. Begs the question tho: will institutions see "just maps" as kindly as GIS? Latter seems more "scholarly." #geoinst #
My thought: One thing that could be useful for geospatial scholars are personal narratives on steps taken to reach projects' end. #geoinst #
.@muziejus And that's useful in historical project. But what if you don't need precision.Starting prettier might get more starting. #geoinst #
#geoinst My thought: simply making a map can be a great way to root information more completely in our minds. Preps us to do more analysis. #
.@muziejus @jean_bauer The aesthetics of this map are also one of the constraints of the tool he's using. #geoinst #
@footnotesrising Well, ambiguity in historical data can also depend on who is doing the reporting, right? #geoinst in reply to footnotesrising #
@jean_bauer Just using something like Kuler would help tremendously. #geoinst in reply to jean_bauer #
Jessop: Anglosaxons defined space by text, not be geographical representations. #geoinst #

Jessop talking about the PASE project: http://bit.ly/d0DtP4. #geoinst #
.@amwhisnant Right. But if we make the work relevant to one another, then we practice making it relevant to skeptical public. #geoinst #
@footnotesrising It depends: can you make the one-stop shop virtual rather than physical? #geoinst in reply to footnotesrising #
RT @historying: Thinking spatially is a lot harder than learning GIS tech skills #geoinst #
@nowviskie He wants a non-stop shop and exemplar projects? Boy do we have a pitch for him! #geoinst #
@amwhisnant But he's talking about collaboration between project members, right? The GIS librarian + programmer + researcher. #geoinst in reply to amwhisnant #
@amyeetx That's almost a haiku. Keep massaging. #geoinst in reply to amyeetx #
#geoinst Problems of geospatial research: limited publication chances; few peer reviewers; funding mechanisms don't support. It's not TEXT. #
#geoinst Jessop discussing the importance of humanities research learning how to acknowledge the contributions of all partners. #
Jessop: A problem with any DH work is that available tools constrain how one works. Me: Building out your own needs to be option. #geoinst #
@jtheibault Thats' the one. in reply to jtheibault #
Metadata matters so we can find data sets that we can use within our own work. #geoinst #
Humanities data is ambiguous. And GIS tends not to represent that well. But the ambiguity is where humanists bread and butter is. #geoinst #
Let me know if you want the full text of Jessop's paper. #geoinst #
Jessop's talk is based on his 2008 paper in LLC: http://bit.ly/afj0fY. #geoinst #
Hmm. How to effectively tweet #geoinst where we don't all tell you the exact same tidbit of information. #
@footnotesrising Yes. I need to figure out who you are! #geoinst in reply to footnotesrising #
Jessop: Spatial work in the sciences tends to be quantitative. In the humanities it can be that, but tends to be more qualitative. #geoinst #
Jessop: "I need a map" does not mean "I need to use a GIS." #geoinst #
Spatial work in the humanities needs to consider temporality, which science doesn't as much. #geoinst #
Jessop: "As digital scholarship has developed, the use of space has fallen behind. Use of space in humanities =/= use in science." #geoinst #

@sramsay I don't know about you, but I've been LARPing the whole time. I'm actually a medievalist who's wandered in to the room. #thatcamp in reply to sramsay #
.@ronda_at_uva It depends: do we want them to learn *how* to use the library (freshmen oriented)? Or to do research (disciplinary-based)? #
@magpie Which sessions would you say are the most faculty centric out of this year's set of panels? #thatcamp in reply to magpie #
.@JenServenti asks how we can combine poetry with geolocation. #

@candace_nast You're absolutely right. And it doesn't help that independent researchers don't get much respect when they show up. #thatcamp in reply to candace_nast #

@captain_primate @samplereality It's got a strange structure. But I think that hybridity (and joint authorship) = reflective of steampunk. in reply to captain_primate #

@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 #
