Thank you!
Super excited about the fact that I’m flying out of NYC tomorrow just before the next storm… and right into the storm in KCMO.
Maybe the storm will accelerate while I’m in the air, and we can just leapfrog it.
In a commuter jet. Did I mention that part. #SUPERexcited
In theory, the precipitation won’t start in NYC until after I take off. And in theory, KCMO will be down to “snow showers” when I land.
But if there’s the slightest delay…?
Replying to @rgfeal
Exactly! I’m getting a head start on the to-do list.
Replying to @rrkennison
Glad you made it in beforehand! I’ll hope to see you there tomorrow.
Replying to @brettbobley
Hoping for luck for both of us!
Replying to @rrkennison
At least it doesn’t look like the 8+ inches they were threatening!
Got robocalled by @united this morning telling me everything is on time. Fingers crossed! #SPARC2014
Replying to @mmwwah
I’ll take it. I’m just missing the front edge of this storm and flying into the back edge of it. Nice to know to go to the airport.
Replying to @mmwwah
Truly!
Replying to @jenniferwaller
Oh no! I’ll hope your luck clears quickly.
Replying to @TAC_NISO
Thanks!
Well, that was timed about as well as it could be. Left before it started in NY, and arrived in a lull in KC. Now to survive the cab ride.
Replying to @rgfeal
Think ahead!
Replying to @ewertheimer
Here we have the added obstacle of half-plowed streets. Not something often seen in SD!
Replying to @ewertheimer
What a contrast in rides! It’s -8 here, with the wind chill.
Call me crazy, but I seem to recall it not being 2 degrees during #sparc2012.
Here is the view from my hotel room window. That empty white strip is a river.
Replying to @katinalynn
Thank you! It’s cold as heck but the storm wasn’t as bad as they predicted. I hope the same is true on your end of it.
Replying to @CameronNeylon
You will totally be able to land. It’s frigid & there’s snow on the ground but it’s not as bad as they threatened.
Replying to @brettbobley and @hjoseph
Yay! Glad you made it!
Replying to @brettbobley
Yes, I’m at the hotel. Looking forward to seeing you!
Replying to @patriksv
It looks that way, doesn’t it?

I haven’t really been able to watch since a screenwriter friend of mine compared the broadcast to Triumph of the Will.

This is true. But mine has steadfast insistence, especially in a car on the way to the airport.

Replying to @ernestopriego
The answer, my friend, depends heavily on whom you’ve been emailing @mediacommons. \(That is, I haven’t seen anything\.\)

Argh. Monica and Carol are the sources of the data. I will prod.

This is something we’re working on, but we have to finish our years-long process of migrating to Drupal 7 first.

There are several aspects of this winter I cannot wait to be rid of, but perhaps none so much as the freaking static electricity in my hair.

Yes, but also, KCI is subdivided into small security/gate clusters, making it feel even smaller than it is.
Replying to @brettbobley
Ugh, so sorry that didn't work.
You know, a little lock overlay on the wifi icon in the OS X menu bar when connected to a secure network would be a useful reminder.
Gearing up for my 4pm talk at Washington University on The Digital Futures of Scholarship.
A lovely visit to Washington University. Now on to my old stomping grounds: @pomonacollege!
\(Incidentally, why “stomping grounds”?\)
Come on, United, give us a gate. I’ve got a connection to make!

They'd be choice. And probably best not reproduced in public.
Wait, what? High tomorrow 63, low tomorrow night 23? And then high 27 Thursday, with sideways golf clubs?
You’re a tease, Spring.
Oh thank goodness. The high in NYC tomorrow will only be 54. I feel so much better.
Replying to @amndw2
EXACTLY.
Check the Weather has a better forecast \(though check that snow on Thursday\!\) and better-looking sideways golf clubs.

I’m still getting golf clubs. Or possibly a visual representation of whistling in the wind.

A couple of weeks ago, a bunch of my FB friends were all OMG, the horror, what did they do to the fonts? I shrugged it off, because my FB +
was just the same, and because I’ve never really gotten that exercised about any of the other FB changes that folks have freaked out about.
Yesterday I loaded up FB, and OMG THE HORROR, what did they do to the fonts? If you haven’t gotten it yet, count your blessings.

At my last gig, I communicated regularly with another Kathleen. She referred to us as K1 and K2 which avoided the weirdness.

She always very generously made me K1. \(I’d been there longer, so I guess had seniority\.\)

Oh, yikes. I can only imagine.
