All of mine are doing this, too, & makes me nuts. Has made me wonder if this is how HS are teaching transition.
A mere 120 to go. \(One day soon, I hope to have something else of interest to say\.\)

Dude, I brought my laser last time but they made me leave it outside the Old Post Office.
Replying to @brettbobley
"It's okay, sir; I'm a digital humanist." I like it.
Stopped for dinner with 74 to go. There was beer. Suspect I may not make it much further. Beginning to download for the plane. *sigh*
Waiting to take off for IAH, on my way to NYC for MLA. Have a teeny bit of work to do on the way. Keep the coffee coming, Continental!
Replying to @jcmeloni
Writey is definitely good. It's particularly appealing when you're facing moving house, or a stack of thankless admin tasks.
Replying to @amandafrench
Hahahahahahaha. Haha. Ha. Um.
Replying to @amandafrench
You know, I was thinking of suggesting that to @mlaconvention; would certainly make for a more amusing process.
Replying to @amandafrench
But then some smart aleck would figure out the URL shortener, and we'd be back where we started.
Replying to @mattthomas
One IS cognizant of one's privilege, thanks, as I do note in the post. Also, most such leaves are grant/fellowship funded.
Replying to @mattthomas
And I take that point. But some grad students are on non-teaching fellowships, so it's not a grad/faculty divide.
If someone told you you were in a "d&d free workplace," what would you take that to mean?
That's what *I* thought!
Congratulations, @cgbrooke! Collin Brooke wins Computers & Composition Distinguished Book Award for Lingua Fracta! \(via @kakennedy\)
So, on the "d&d free" issue: I immediately leapt to d20s too, but it turns out that the reference was way more 1980s personal ads than that.
HA! \(Wish I could elaborate, but can't just yet\. Soon, I swear\.\)
Replying to @mmwwah
Wrong 1980s. Think craigslist, but earlier.
Replying to @jmittell
It's even better than that, though it does rely on a delicious ambiguity between vindication and vindictiveness.
Replying to @jmittell
Unofficially, yes. I'll announce once it's official...
Replying to @jmittell
Fantastic - yes! I'll look forward to it. \(Alas, I have to leave Dartmouth abt 4 for my flight, but it'll be great to see you\.\)
Departing LGA for IAH after two exhausting and exhilarating days at the MLA. Now to catch up on everything I let drop for the last 2 weeks.
Replying to @amandafrench and @sivavaid
It's increased Kindle sales to me by infinity percent. Before iPad, 0; since, 3, all bought bc unavailable in iBooks
Replying to @foundhistory
That was the very first album I ever bought. I look back on that with amazement, being like 11 & devoid of taste at the time.
Replying to @foundhistory
Actually, I don't find it embarrassing - pretty astonishing to have my first album be one I'd still be willing to listen to.
Feeling rilly sentimental about the end of the semester. Not just that I'm going on leave - I'll miss these particular classes. A lot.
Do you know if the order in which schools were admitted to "thefacebook.com" during its first year or so is available anywhere? #lazyweb
Replying to @billwolff
That one's more or less what I know: Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia > Ivies > whoever. I'm curious about the order of whoever.
Replying to @billwolff
But honestly, it doesn't really matter; I'm getting myself bogged down in a side point. :-/ Thanks anyhow!
Ohmygoodness, whataweek.
Editing together video for a talk I won't be here to give on Friday. Starting to think I may have made this more complicated than necessary.
Suddenly feel... what is this bizarre sensation? As though I'm actually on top of all my deadlines? As though panic is not imminent? Weird.
Replying to @sivavaid
Okay, that worked a little better than I hope you actually meant it to. \(Instant brain response: Crap\! Which one?\!?\)
Am officially at the point in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at which I'm starting to drag my heels, not wanting it to end.
And yes, that means I'm reading a novel tonight. So there.
Replying to @mmwwah
Yes, absolutely. The best kind of work!
Replying to @nowviskie
We have 0 from dept. All $ is awarded at the college level. In prev yrs, fac got 2 funded trips; this yr, 1. \(I self\-funded 4\.\)
The semester must be nearly over because I'm thinking about things like the relative merits of DevonThink and Evernote.
Replying to @mamamusings
Your post that mentioned Evernote on the iPad has me thinking about switching. DT is super powerful, but w/too much overhead.
Replying to @janineutell
DT is another info mgt tool, in some ways way more powerful than Evernote \(contextual searching etc\), but maybe a bit too much.
Replying to @captain_primate
One word for you: Scantron. \(Seriously, you are a better man than I; there's no way I could manage that\.\)
Replying to @captain_primate
I get that. I frown on them too, but SHEESH already.
Replying to @captain_primate
I definitely hear that - I spent 11 yrs split btw 2 depts, and we never get TAs. But we are lucky to have small classes!
Replying to @captain_primate
I can't imagine having large classes with that much grading and no TA support. I send you speedy grading vibes.

This is why I don't commute to L.A. http://yfrog.com/2g9m1j
Replying to @mamamusings
I did the same, but finally caved - the iPad version is really nice. But I still resent the triple charge.
Seriously contemplating a switch from DT to Evernote; like the ease of use & low overhead. But need a fan to tell me: should I go premium?
Replying to @budtheteacher
That's nice to know, thanks!
Replying to @midwinter_
Actually, that's a good point; I'm going to be moving a lot of stuff. And I like the any-file-format feature...
The one thing that's irritating me so far about Evernote is that txt is a premium-only file format. Really?
Replying to @mamamusings
I've got THOUSANDS of them. Okay, hundreds. But still. May upgrade just so I can drag & drop.
Replying to @mamamusings
Ooh! Tell me how you like it - I've been contemplating one too!
Replying to @samplereality
Yes, of course; the challenge is wanting to get my hundreds of txt files *into* Evernote.
Replying to @michaeldroy
DevonThink - amazingly powerful information/document manager, but way more than I really need & w/o Evernote's syncing ability.
Sigh. That was me: Found nifty txt/rtf-to-Evernote importing script: http://bit.ly/a7IiFZ
Replying to @mlmcgill
It's more for notetaking than for citation organization...

About the same time "relatable" became a word, I think. *sigh*
Onboard, awaiting takeoff. Will be my first flight with wifi. Join us in the 21st century, Continental! Um, United. Uninental? Continited?
Replying to @jcmeloni
Go, Julie!
Replying to @mmwwah
That sounds about right.
Replying to @kdettmar
Ooh, let me know if you get good recs. I'm not planning on trading the 12-yr-old Civic in any time soon but wish it were iPodable.
Have gotten just about everything from one database migrated from DevonThink to Evernote. Some cleaning up to do, but seems good.
5 hour flight with wifi went by in a flash. 3 hour drive thereafter, a bit less so. Thank goodness it's gorgeous out there.

Dartmouth Digital Humanities symposium beginning. No word of a hashtag. I vote for #dighum, which produces nothing on search right now.
Replying to @jmittell and @mandellc
That would work. Or #DartDH, which frees up a few extra characters.

Tom Streeter up now at #DartDH, talking about his forthcoming book, The Net Effect \(from my friends at @NYUPress\).
Streeter: most powerful force maintainin openness of internet is memory of the romantic stories told about the internet's openness #DartDH
Murray: fears among some that if we permit electronic publishing, it'll lead to general erosion of standards \(peer review, quality\) #DartDH
Sigh. Remembering why I don't like presenting on a machine other than mine. That was... awkward.
Replying to @veek
Are you watching? Thanks for the kind words. Felt worse than it was, I hope.
Replying to @veek
Thank you. At several points I was quite concerned about that - kept losing my own thread in trying to see my presenter notes!
On the plane, on my way back to LA. Fantastic day at #DartDH, though, as Echo might say, I wasn't my best. Happily, everyone else rocked.
Replying to @janaremy
Same for #rorty! If only that two-places-at-once thing really worked.
Okay, enough with the bumpity. New altitude, please. \(This inflight internet is awesome for playing backseat pilot\.\)
Replying to @karikraus
It's probably just as well that I haven't been able to blog/tweet from a plane before now!
Somewhere over Missouri. This has been a bumpy day. Hanging on for Sunday evening.
Replying to @philnel
About to enter Kansan airspace. So far so good. \(Have a good trip\!\)
Replying to @mmwwah
This freaking semester, and everything that has gone along with it, will be OVER.
Replying to @mmwwah
Though I had a rather lengthy debate about whether Sunday evening was the demarcator I'm looking for. Really middle of next week.

Oh, just wait; I'll be complaining about the kids today and their music any second now. :)
Thanks, all - I'm pretty happy about it, needless to say! As I told the @profhacker crew, first round at @THATCamp is on me.
Replying to @dancohen
You like me! You really like me!
Replying to @jwolman
You did, indeed. Thanks much!
Replying to @plragde
Yeah, you told me about that! Mine should in theory provide an increase in salary, but probably an increase in committee work too.
Replying to @brettbobley

I know I'm supposed to sneer at Wave, but both of my spring classes used it to very good effect. I'm happy that accounts are now open.
Replying to @mmwwah
Pretty much "it didn't save the world after all; ergo, it sucks."
Replying to @cscannella
I think perhaps a @ProfHacker post on just that topic may be in the offing.

How much do I hate the IT assumption that they can manage my work computer better than I can? A lot, that's how much.
Replying to @academicdave and @briancroxall
I get into DCA at 7ish. Keep me posted on any whereabouts...
Replying to @briancroxall and @academicdave
Sounds good to me. Haven't a clue where that was, though.
Trying to decide if I want to try traveling with the iPad only, instead of bringing the laptop, too. Think this might not be the right trip.
IAH, on my way to DCA. It always annoys me to fly between these airports but at least there's no 7ft rakish statue of ol'whatsisname at DCA.
I don't suppose that an airport gift shop would have actual cold & sinus meds \(the pseudoephedrine kind, not the weaksauce replacement\)...?
Replying to @KelliMarshall
The way my sinuses feel right now, it'd be worth it. I'll go hunt them down!
Replying to @mkirschenbaum
Are you sticking around thereafter?
Rats; no dice. Only the PE stuff. Thanks for messing it up for everyone, meth industry!
Replying to @mkirschenbaum
Rats. Well, I'll wave at you from the Metro.
Replying to @jmittell
I'd feel better about the trade if I could breathe while watching it.

No kidding. Had an interesting convo w/ a pharm once, who thinks the log issue is attempting to regulate sales [1/2]
Replying to @kbusse2 and @kellimarshall
rather than purchase - that the prob was pharms selling it out the back door & now they have to be accountable.
At DCA metro, waiting what will apparently be 12min for the next blue line train. Don't drink all the beer before I get there, thatcampers.
Replying to @samplereality
Excellent. I'm about 5 mins from Vienna; will come out after checking into hotel.
Replying to @AlxJrvs
You made it! Sorry to hear about your crap travel day.

Be right there!
#THATCamp is getting started! @dancohen giving us a bit of history and a bit of looking forward.
Replying to @briancroxall and @academicdave
Nobody except @alxjrvs, who is stubbornly insisting that he likes his.

Replying to @joguldi
Are you in the house? If so, yay! #thatcamp
Replying to @jcmeloni
Can confirm, except that it was more of a "holy crap" moment.
Will confess much as I love my iPad that I'm remembering why I still travel with the MBAir: hate not having notes and Twitter open at once.
Unfortunately, most of what I've written over the last 2 years could qualify for #hackacad; I'm having a hard time deciding what to submit.
@patrickgmj leading #thatcamp session "Who wants to be a hacker?" Answer: me! A major goal of this sabbatical, in fact.

Only one session of #thatcamp so far and already my head is buzzing. Really looking forward to dreaming up more projects.

Yeah, was at THATCamp yesterday; today & tomorrow at a meeting in DC. Were you at C19?
Realizing that I will in fact have to miss the #LOST finale due to a meeting dinner. Will I have to avoid Twitter until I can watch it?
And how long before ABC will have it available for streaming?
The new Tantalus: I have a bottle of wine. It has a plastic cork. The crap corkscrew it came with cannot make it budge.
Replying to @dancohen
So sorry I had to miss today; yesterday was the best first half of #thatcamp ever. Thanks to you and the rest of @chnm for it!
Saved by the bellguys downstairs. Have glass of wine and Stieg Larsson for an hour's relaxation.
Replying to @dancohen
Very sorry you won't be joining us, too! It was a productive day today. I'll look forward to more scheming with you soon.
Replying to @kwazana
THATCamp was awesome; journal meeting has been too. Don't fly back to SoCal until Tuesday, tho...

Okay, off to dinner. Pls to get all of your #LOST live-tweeting out of your system before I come back. Or hope I can watch tonight.
Back from amazing dinner, waaaaay too late for Lost & even more too early for streaming. Am doomed to avoid Internet for foreseeable future.
Replying to @captain_primate
Fantastic getting to meet you & spend some time over dinner. I'll hope for more soon!

Wow, that was awesome.
Replying to @jmittell
No, it was the message that started out as a DM and ended as a live tweet. Whoops. \(Am in mid\-huluing of finale now, tho\.\)
Uncertain when I ate the box of razorblades, or why, exactly, but am pretty sure it wasn't a good idea. #ugh
Replying to @LookBackMaps
Oh, that is so not good to hear. I have to be on a plane tomorrow at noon. Glad to hear you're better, though!
Hoping you'll all forgive or ignore the following tweet.
Am seriously hoping that the reverse peristalsis portion of today's festivities is over. But, alas, am not optimistic about it. #iamsick :(

Hmm. I would be a little worried about what the process might turn the ginger ale into by the time it got approved.
Replying to @KelliMarshall
Never did get the Sudafed. Happily, my sinuses cleared up. Cannot say much for the rest of me.
Dear digestive tract: awesome D! Way to show those microbes who's boss. But here's the thing, I swear: there is NOTHING left in you. Chill.
I seem to have survived. Not exactly planning on rushing out and grabbing a cheeseburger, but I think I'll be able to fly home.
Replying to @jmittell
Alas, yes; I need to watch it again. I think I liked it, and I'm pretty sure the puking was unrelated. But I need to check. :)
Replying to @jcmeloni
Me too! I prefer to be left alone when I'm sick, but there's alone and then there's *alone*.
Have drunk some ginger ale and eaten a cracker. The world has not come to an end, though it was a little iffy there for a minute.
Replying to @midwinter_
Ugh, the mere thought. I'm sticking with the ginger ale and crackers for the time being. But thanks.
Replying to @jonathanagray
No worries there - trust me.
Have made it all the way home without incident. Nonetheless, flying immediately after so much incident was no fun at all. Do NOT recommend.

Not many of us use 3G on our laptops. If a certain unnamed smartphone service provider would allow tethering already, maybe.

Oh my word there has to be a better way. Which is to say I'd rather never fit in my favorite pants again.

3G is utterly inaccessible in most conf rooms in the Bonaventure, if #mla11 sessions will be there. Other hotels may vary.

SCMS was there in March. Trust me when I say Do Not Want. Much better just to visit - go to the revolving bar up top!

Conv ctr/Marriott may not be bad for 3G. And both are on Boingo network for those who subscribe \(aka, me\).
Replying to @briancroxall
Awful. A case study in "you can't get there from here." It's totally worth seeing, but not a good place to have a conference.
Replying to @briancroxall
On top of which, I just found it oppressive somehow. Never really had a space piss me off before, but this one did.
Replying to @jcmeloni
I wonder what gives you that impression.
Replying to @zachwhalen
Mostly. But the other issue is that there are NO good lines of sight in the hotel; trying to find someone in the lobby is awful.

I agree that junior scholars can/will/should take initiative on OA, etc, but I still think senior folks must take the lead [1/2]
Replying to @karikraus
in ensuring that those junior scholars are supported in their work and that their work is read and evaluated appropriately. [2/2]

Hey, thanks for the "best of" nomination! Let me know if you have thoughts about what you might want & how I can help.
Why is the thing I'm most alarmed by in the Gary Coleman story that he was MY AGE? \(And did I expect him to be older or younger? Not sure\.\)
Replying to @BidenPC
Except that it's not "oh my god, he died at 42?" but "oh my god, he was 42?" It's less about mortality than literally his age.
Replying to @triproftri and @nowviskie
et al: this is exactly the thing I'm talking about; not that it's unsafe for jr folks to pub in OA/alt venues [1/2]
Replying to @triproftri and @nowviskie
but that sr folks like @RayS6 @sramsay et al have to make the argument re the importance of doing so in the rev proc.
Replying to @dancohen
I'm torn between feeling HUGELY flattered and mildly old.
Replying to @dancohen
I will happily accept that! Do let me know, though, if you want me to make some selection\(s\).
Replying to @BidenPC
Don't get me wrong - 42 is *super* young, and I've got a ton more to do. But I was surprised that my shock wasn't about mortality!
Why do I find it so hard to let the registration on a domain I don't use expire?
Replying to @ddiamantaras
Interesting nonetheless - thanks!
Replying to @zachwhalen
Congratulations!
Replying to @kwazana
Damn, it all comes back to that, doesn't it.
Replying to @tmcphers
Actually, the last time I let one go, I needed it again 2 yrs later, and it's been held hostage since. That may be it.
Replying to @midwinter_
Something like that. It's also the fear that I might need it later & not be able to get it back \(as happened with another one\).
Replying to @mmwwah
Hurts to say: mediacommons. I think I had .org, .net, & .com. But I thot, that name will never work! All are being held hostage now.
Replying to @mmwwah
No kidding. So electrapress is up for renewal, and tho it's been out of service for 3+ yrs, I'm afraid to let it go.
Replying to @mmwwah
Exactly. I've been debating for a month and can't decide. I think it's going to get flushed, but... ugh.
Replying to @patrickgmj
Fan-TAS-tic! I'm very excited; keep me posted.
Replying to @patrickgmj
Yes, of course! I look forward to testing and expect to have many brilliant if technically impossible suggestions. :)
Looking at a very complex set of tickets for #dh2010 and #sci8, with apt-hunting time in NYC. This is going to be difficult and non-cheap.
Replying to @zachwhalen and @patrickgmj
Ooh, that's exciting to hear! I have to wait for the NYU developers come back from the weekend before I can play. :(
"'having two identities...is an example of a lack of integrity' is sentiment of someone who’s never had to code-switch" http://bit.ly/c91co7

I'm moving back & forth between goofing on the computer and clearing stuff off the DVR...
Replying to @captain_primate
Poor Sam! Recent experience has made me profoundly empathetic. Here's hoping the rest of the family emerges unscathed.
Revising is hard.
Replying to @kwazana
Certainly like self-surgery. "Okay, if I cut myself open here, and remove this organ, and suture this to that, will I still work?"
Replying to @kwazana
A bit too in the thick of it at the moment, but let's do swap soon!
Replying to @amandafrench
Wha? They're already ground! If that can break a garbage disposal, what's a garbage disposal for?
Replying to @patrickgmj
Completely AWESOME. Have left a few comments therein. I am increasingly excited about this.
Replying to @kwazana
For doss, I'd go with whatever you find easiest. Prob start at 1 for each chapter, yes.
Replying to @kwazana
I use NeoOffice, which is an open source ms-office-like suite. It's totally compatible with Word, but yeah, don't switch now.
Replying to @boonebgorges
Super cool! \(Though I keep looking for the button on the video interface that will make everyone stop interrupting you\.\)
Replying to @billwolff
Congratulations!
