  1. Oh, no, you didn't. You didn't just say "injun," did you? With no irony?
  2. @KristineMBrown Order it through (I)nter(L)ibrary (L)oan. I guess I'm the only one who uses ILL as a verb.
  3. @avantgame The Prado is amazing. I could spend hours just in the Goya rooms.
  4. #NaNoWriMo Tip: Drink appropriately when you write: Beaujolais for romance, martini for spy, MGD for working class hero, and Tang for scifi.
  5. @KristineMBrown Check out folklorist Alan Dundes, who's done major work on jokes.(eg Cracking Jokes: Studies of Sick Humor Cycles). ILL it.
  6. Here is the annotated bibliography assignment for my disaster class, where we use @zotero to build a group library: http://bit.ly/8qZmFG
  7. My disaster fiction students are adding annotated resources to our group library on Zotero: http://bit.ly/7yBBRw.
  8. @juliandibbell Twistory's initial dumptook a day or too, but it's been showing up on G-Cal reliably since then, dominating my calendar!
  9. @ncecire Definitely. It's making me think about Twitter as a gendered space, something I hadn't considered before.
  10. When I have an assignment due at midnight, I feel morally obligated to stay awake and watch them flood in at 11:57pm.
  11. #NaNoWriMo Tip: Does your novel re-imagine the story of D.B. Cooper from the point of view of a bag of money? You win. The rest of us quit.
  12. Danah Boyd's experience with the Twitter backchannel has me reevaluating my praise for Twitter snark. http://bit.ly/66redn
  13. Am I the only person in the room who doesn't confuse Jerry Mathers with Johnny Mathis? (Aw hell, I'm the only person in the room, period.)
  14. @juliandibbell Twistory is working brilliantly for me. It's been dumping my Tweets to Google Calendar for months now.
  15. Holy mother of god, I have got to stop referencing Jerry Maguire in my classes.
  16. @duncanmurrell I've incorporated Twitter directly into my syllabus as an experiment: http://bit.ly/5nMgys
  17. A full 9 hours of my Twitter timeline is a dead zone. Could it really be that nobody tweeted between midnight and 9 am?
  18. #NaNoWriMo Tip: The best novels start with a mysterious stranger coming to town. Like a gunfighter with a secret past. Or a killer monkey.
  19. @patrickgmj You've sent me scrambling to Google. Kilo what???
  20. #NaNoWriMo Tip: The difference between a good novelist and a great one is measured in fluid ounces.
