  1. @Liberationtech That's a start, anyway. RT'd query to see if anyone else comes up with something I've missed. @JenHoward
  2. .@Liberationtech Wilson, Sense of the People (UK); Olson, Making the Empire Work; Breen, Marketplace of Revolution @JenHoward
  3. Plowing ahead when you need to look something up leads to sentences like this: "Massachusetts was raising funds for XXX." #MUSTlookup
  4. RT @sivavaid: Dear Mr. President, If you are going to send me an email, please don't make the subject line "Hey." Try a little formality.
  5. Late 18th century. RT @JenHoward: This is feeling like the Age of Petitions. Other historical eras when petitioning was all the rage?
  6. @mhbeals Don't think I'm any help on the question of background architecture for the portal. Other things, perhaps, but not this.
  7. After you read the @Raherrmann piece, go back to this post from yesterday parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/29/the… about being a camp counselor vs. internships.
  8. @Raherrmann Please stop writing smart things that make the rest of us look bad.
  9. Brilliance on thinking through pedagogy. RT @Raherrmann: New @Chronicle piece, Robots, Aquatics, & History Classroom: chronicle.com/article/Robots…
  10. @DanskinHistory @mhbeals To answer the Philadelphia-Edinburgh question, not much in Clark. Perhaps try Rick Sher's Enlightenment & the Book.
  11. Happy to discover that it was not the hearing in my left ear that is rapidly dissipating, but rather the sound in my cheap earbuds. #relief
  12. Yes. RT @ayjay "Facebook appears to be deliberately and systematically making it harder & harder for people to vary..." tmblr.co/ZA1xbyMRNAFR
  13. @YAppelbaum Perfectionism makes editing fun and drafting miserable. #storyofmywritingcareer
  14. Took longer than I wanted, but we have achieved 5,000 words. Fighting my instincts to allow bad writing to flow so good editing can occur.
  15. @kenneth_owen Only insofar as we both have a tendency to ignore the Red Sox. @gauthamrao
  16. @gauthamrao Not a problem. Just confused - I don't usually wander into Premier League conversations unprovoked... @kenneth_owen
  17. MT @YAppelbaum: I'll be speaking on "The Perils and Promise of Popular History in a Digital Age" with @cdc29 @JohnFea1 and @ejlp. #THS12
  18. @gauthamrao @kenneth_owen Wait, why am I involved in this?
