@jcmeloni I think that should be your tagline for everything from this point on... in reply to jcmeloni #
Folks: can you recommend profs. (on twitter or not) doing interesting DH & digital pedagogy work at small liberal arts colleges? #
@tanyaclement: @jtheibault said you're compiling a list of SLAC DHers-would you mind sharing? #
As always, the DH community delivers: thanks @mkgold, @jtheibault, @amandafrench, & @acavender for SLAC DH suggestions #
By the request of several folks interested in responses my earlier question re:DH SLACers, a series of retweets forth comes... #
@briancroxall not me this year. I succumbed to the lure of a more lucrative summer teaching assignment @stnorbert in reply to briancroxall #
@samplereality surely there's an ani difranco song that fits the bill, though nothing's coming to mind immediately... in reply to samplereality #
@samplereality maybe Jenny Lewis' "Acid Tongue?" Chorus declares: "You know I am a liar" in reply to samplereality #
@eetempleton I'd second @erinsells: Virginia Woolf in reply to eetempleton #
@eetempleton I love Willa Cather, but I think Woolf is more "important" in reply to eetempleton #
@lisaspiro a neat ideaâ€”would such an app have as much use in the humanities? I'd be interested, but there'd have to be wide buy-in in reply to lisaspiro #
@HouseOfMaps congrats! in reply to HouseOfMaps #
Have been asked to speak about @omeka for a group of folks @ uva
learning about CMSes-I feel like a relative newbie myself, but why not? #
@omeka: is there a demo or good explanation page about the forthcoming hosted version? I imagine that would be a big draw to newbies... #
Oh no!-the snooze button does more harm than good (from @lifehacker): http://bit.ly/c2qF6L #
Help GBers? // RT @eviedc: Found a renter for our house here. Only problem is that we don't have a place to live in GB yet. #
Sometimes when you say you just want answers, no matter what they are, you really mean that you want certain answers and not others... #
@briancroxall that's this one, right? http://bit.ly/xVbEb in reply to briancroxall #
@cadenceac I'm sorry, sweetie! At least we'll get to Wisconsin in time for fun summer stuff! in reply to cadenceac #
May rent a perfectly fine duplex in a perfectly fine neighborhood during our 1st year in GB-this depresses me more than it should... #fb #
@ibogost cakey...I think? As in a thick, cakey crust...Though I'd love to see cakish get some traction... in reply to ibogost #
I think it's official: I'm done with Glee. The only funny character left is Sue-the whole "Election" vibe fizzled out long ago... #
@noelrk she's had some good linesâ€”but it's a long show & I'm not laughing all that much in reply to noelrk #
@RBen even the singing has gotten dullâ€”"cast members sing song w/vague plot relevance intently in each other's direction" in reply to RBen #
@profsusan I'd be behind that. in reply to profsusan #
"Seasame Street" parodies of Google search commercials: http://bit.ly/ck7mBs #
Good question-if so I need a few for both my current and future faculty laptops // RT @jcmeloni: @nowviskie you have Scholars' Lab stickers? #
Excellent // RT @ronda_at_uva: We do have SLab stickers! They're in the lab and in the SLab office free for the taking. Take many! #
We have an official moving day!-any locals who want to help us load the truck on May 29 & 30 will be very welcome... #fb #
@stevewhitaker & the bluray disc is an unobtanium alloy! Shameful... in reply to stevewhitaker #
@jcmeloni this is exactly what I was wishing existed in my exchanges about the field during #uvashape in reply to jcmeloni #
This has probably already made the rounds, but: a list of "least common complaints about the iPad"-including "not rhino proof" #
should include the link: http://bit.ly/bVEf9K #
@acavender If not I'll definitely sneak one in there before graduation next year & try to convince the girls I'm that kind of professor in reply to acavender #
