My undergrad professor Margaret Soltan has a new post about Amy Bishop up at IHE: http://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/university_diaries #
The boys, still in Pjs & drawing
http://twitpic.com/14wu7t #
Congrats @briancroxall // Phone interview scheduled. #jobmarket #
Pleased & a little dumbfounded to receive an acceptance email for #DH2010 now the question is, can I afford it? #
@barbarahui congrats! me too! in reply to barbarahui #
@nowviskie yes, that's a real plus. The plane ticket is the only wildcard... in reply to nowviskie #
@seabright I primarily use on the Mac, but having my lists on my phone is handy-here's my @ProfHacker article on Things http://bit.ly/doC2ZU in reply to seabright #
@seabright ah-nevermind in reply to seabright #
@seabright the desktop app is much more important to have-if it really becomes part of your workflow then the phone app will make sense in reply to seabright #
Each Wed. the lanes in UVA's Olympic-sized pool are set lengthwise-it's my weekly reminder of how little Olympic ability or spirit I possess #
I don't text-message // I scored 71/100 on the Pew Research Center How Millennial Are You? Quiz http://pewresearch.org/millennials/quiz #
@movingtype @warnick @eviedc @cforster I think it was: 1. no landline 2. no newspaper (I interpreted as print) 3. play video games in reply to movingtype #
@ktcrow tatoo can't be important to the quiz-I was pretty high sans tatoo in reply to ktcrow #
@gordon_ryan thanks for recommending @echofon-I'm really digging the computer to phone syncing in reply to gordon_ryan #
The proposal reviews returned w/my #DH2010 submission (esp. 1 negative review) will really help me prepare-wish more conferences did this #
@ktcrow it was very detailed-four reader reports, an evaluation rubric in reply to ktcrow #
Wow-just wow // RT @briancroxall: Nikola Tesla's letterhead is amazing: http://bit.ly/b7Tpxy. @foundhistory was kind enough to share. #
@jenterysayers @acavender @jcmeloni double points if you get a tattoo of a piercing in reply to jenterysayers #
@nowviskie @ktcrow I'm a two-spacer in the midst of a conversion-still two-space by default but am consciously working to stop in reply to nowviskie #
@nowviskie essentially I heard an editor argue convincingly that modern Word processors make that issue largely moot-at NLH we were 1-space in reply to nowviskie #
Just got a campus visit invitation for a non-TT job I applied for-it was remarkably freeing to say "no thanks" for the first time #jobmarket #
@LizaPotts Indeed-hope I wasn't too catty in my last update-didn't mean to be, but it is nice to be on the other side of the job search in reply to LizaPotts #
@warnick you could instead refer to them as "Bobby Fischer-esque" in reply to warnick #
@betajames you know, the "good old days" of 1994-95 in reply to betajames #
Awesome // RT @powermobydick: How to kill Moby Dick http://bit.ly/crMvHJ #
10 years ago I married my high-school-sweetheart. Happy anniversary, @eviedc--I love you! #
Got a particularly brutal reader's report from a journal today-Rejection I can take, but this one makes it hard to keep writing right now #
Emory grads!-DM me if you'd be willing to talk about the Ph.D. program with a friend from UVA's MA program who's been accepted there #
@erinsells Yeah-it felt much better to be on-campus with an article under consideration-if they invited you to campus, they value your work in reply to erinsells #
@academicdave I agree w/you in theory, but timidly worry about what my tenure committee will say about that in a few years #cowardlyDHer in reply to academicdave #
@academicdave This is the problem with institutional inertia-the folks best positioned to make changes are
those who stand to lose the most in reply to academicdave #
Much needed today (from @lifehacker): Set up a Praise Folder to Track Successes for Performance (& Tenure?) Reviews http://bit.ly/b9tt2w #
@triproftri that's what I was trying to get across-it's often junior faculty members working for change-& they often have to tread lightly in reply to triproftri #
@johnmjones Congratulations! Now you just have to get through the campaign... in reply to johnmjones #
