@LisaHoffmann I'd argue that social media can be a really empowering tool for us introverts. But meetups, etc. are still a challenge
Okay, -now- I think I'm over the hump on this cold... but I'm still in less-than-perfect shape. I've had much worse, though: perspective.
Another writeup illustrating why (fair) election judges don't care who wins, as long as it's by a WIDE margin: http://tinyurl.com/ax2kmq
Whoever lamented the lack of cure for the common cold was right; still not improving. Don't know if Zicam really helps, or just prolongs it?
A reminder that http://www.commoncraft.com/ is a great place for videos to explain things like Twitter. #GUSday09
Were just talking about www.twitscoop.com here at #GUSday09 but it looks like it's down?
The thing about Twitter is folks are sharing off-the-cuff thoughts publicly; what happens when those thoughts are hurtful? #gusday09
@hgeorge - the most interesting Twitter use for me is the live "backchannel" communication; maybe relevant, maybe not, but builds community.
At the Social Networking session (including Twitter - yay!) at #GUSday09
In talking with @hgeorge I've decided that Choose Your Own Adventure books were the most brilliant thing ever. EVER! :)
#Gusday09 Collaborative writing in the context of translating Russian transcripts of oral histories. What a super-cool project for students!
Finally logging back in; still at #GUSday09 -- so far, so good! Allison's session on collaborative writing looks cool!
Off to GusDay (local one-day higher ed technology conference); anyone else going? Looks like #GUSday09 is the hash tag?
The tone is "meaner" than my taste, and at ~200 votes +/- why not flip a coin, but http://tinyurl.com/a7jgyr hits some little-known facts.
Update from Steve Jobs himself on his health: http://www.apple.com/pr/lib...
If my cold is this bad having slept through most of the weekend, how bad would it be if I'd been up-and-around? Ick. But, it could be worse.
Not super-odd, but surprising when you spot it: Airplane captured in Google maps at http://tinyurl.com/7fnq63
Amazon rep. just emailed and said, "I've requested a refund for the purchase." Assuming it goes through... at least their service is good!
@paugren Already told Amazon; not holding my breath for a response. @bakirkwold Yup, it worked for others I got; don't know why not for one.
What surprises me most about the Amazon $.99 song charge w/o confirmation is that I've disabled 1-click ordering for exactly this reason!
