- 06:46 Apparently both CHS and CCHS have snow days... Because of the oncoming piles of snow. I for one welcome our new snowman overlords. #
- 06:57 "Iran vows to enrich uranium." Just saying--this makes them sound like a supervillan. Countries of the world, I speak unto thee: Never vow! #
- 17:48 Heroes website spoils tonight's episode, if you care: "X has been Y—and the A are revealed to B. Help your heroes survive the C. #
- 21:10 Our baby kicks, and apparently also vibrates. I think she's going bpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbp
bpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbp #fb # - 21:15 Heroes season finale: Yup, I'm okay with that. Sounds good to me. #
- 21:35 Tomorrow's breakfast: steel-cut oatmeal, which apparently looks WEIRD #
- 21:42 Finished my 8/8 papers for today. 5/0 yesterday and 7/7 the day before. Awesome. Tomorrow's goal: 12. #
- 21:51 Leah and Allen get another Tuesday together! Of course, the Tuesday will largely consist of working anyway. But hey, that's life! #
- 12:33 @fhulibrary and Nausicaa! Now you need Laputa and Porco Rosso! #
- 12:51 Inbox Zero. Finally. Time for lunch. #
- 13:07 Man, I don't like Ecoute or Coversutra as much as @Bowtieapp. I just wish it didn't crash as often. #
- 15:16 @bobfronk Hey, mine was the EXACT SAME #revealinghowivote #
- 11:13 Just discovered the ? keyboard shortcut in Gmail--and it also works in Google Reader. Thanks, @Lifehacker! #
- 14:44 Comcast renames itself "Xfinity." Is that "Ex-fi-ni-tee" or "Cross-fi-ni-tee"? I can't decide whether it's better or worse than "SyFy." #
- 21:38 Missed the Office tonight, but had a good night nonetheless. We'll catch it tomorrow. #
- 14:07 @cjones10 What is that, like "truthiness" for faith? I can definitely get that meaning--"faithiness" means what many call "spirituality" #
- 14:41 @FakeAPStylebook I CAN'T TAKE IT! THAT'S A DASH. A DAAAAAASSSSSHHHHH!!!!! #
- 15:24 Found out that Google Chrome obviates the need for Greasemonkey, as the Greasemonkey developer works on Chrome. Firefox "must" list shrinks. #
- 10:08 MLA does not seem to abbreviate season on a Works Cited page--so Jan. and Dec. and Mar. but not Spr. or Win. or Sum. Whatever, man. #
- 13:09 "everyday" != "every day." That is all. #
- 13:47 Mountain Dew Throwback is GOOD. #
- 14:26 Number one wish for iWork '10: "Save as PDF" instead of "Export to PDF." Come ON, Apple. Tie it to a keyboard shortcut and we'll be BFF. #
- 18:18 No school tomorrow. I'm beginning to lose track of the narrative, as Fraa Jad of Anathem would say. #
- 22:19 So did we watch Lost? OF COURSE NOT! It is Groundhog Day, after all! #
- 17:46 iTunes updates to 9.0.3, fixes that bug where you enter in your password EVERY TIME, even if you check the box for "Remember my Password" #
- 18:10 Anyone else trying to change the @mailplane icon with CandyBar from @panic and having difficulty making it "stick"? #
- 18:13 Tomorrow morning, we will have ginger snap oatmeal. My wife is awesome. #
- 09:40 Okay, time for WORKING #
- 09:40 No foolin' #
- 11:36 @ianwheat doubleTwist, by DVDJon: www.doubletwist.com. Syncs with all (I think--HTC, Google, Verizon) Android phones #
- 21:07 @emuhleem They're alphabetical. Great! #
- 21:38 Played a lot of @uniwar today. Heartily recommended. Next release, tho—chat typing improvements Very Much Needed! #
- 07:53 My schools are all closed: Chester Co., Tipton Co., Perry Co., and even UTMartin! Big news: next week another T/R at Covington. #
- 09:42 XKCD: Like a sad Wall-E + Moon, only IN REAL LIFE. If we anthropomorphize our tech, why don't we sympathize for it? xkcd.com/695/ #
- 10:20 @RCliffThompson That is completely awesome. You get my thumbs-up for the day. #
- 10:28 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Blizzard of 2010: Henderson, TN youtu.be/9h4lftQ_tzs?a #
- 10:32 "The Great Blizzard of 2010": Part 1 just uploaded from our Flip Mino HD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h4lftQ_tzs #fb #
- 10:52 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Great Blizzard of 2010 - Henderson, TN (Part 2) youtu.be/UUwriJESccI?a #
- 11:00 LOL /via @stirstir: WHY IS NASHVILLE TRENDING? BECAUSE OF SNOW? YOU COMMUNIST HEATHENS DON'T KNOW WHAT SNOW IT. #
- 11:16 LOL (YouTube youtu.be/9h4lftQ_tzs?a) #
- 11:43 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Great Blizzard of 2010 - Henderson, TN (Part 3) youtu.be/Kb5CUNVbmQE?a #
- 11:47 Adam Anderson on FB: "It's cold. Cocytus cold. Move around. Make more Dante's Inferno references, it helps us stay warm." #
- 11:59 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Great Blizzard of 2010 - Henderson, TN (Part 4) youtu.be/w5qUbliPYXE?a #
- 12:06 @stirstir Yeah, I know it's not Denver or anything, but 5 inches and coming down hard is saying something! #
- 13:00 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Great Blizzard of 2010 - Henderson, TN (Part 5) youtu.be/x4q0dcuxyhQ?a #
- 13:05 I uploaded a YouTube video -- Great Blizzard of 2010 - Henderson, TN (Part 6) youtu.be/eACXr0tEYz4?a #
- 16:52 @demiurgent Wait. The RosalindFranklin? That looks like a gunship! What class is that? It's on the tip of my tongue but the web's failing me #
- 17:06 @demiurgent So not a science vessel—definite fighting capabilities! Rosalind Franklin indeed—one to fight to prove herself, & not be ignored #
- 20:41 Dear world: I have started to figure out the usefulness of Google Docs--particularly the spreadsheets. (Still love you, Apple Numbers! <3<3 #
- 21:04 @drmmtatom Google Docs Quiz: OH I AM SO DOING THAT NEXT SEMESTER! #
- 11:39 Useful and funny: "How to Use a Semicolon" bit.ly/aaqXVI #
- 12:05 @storiesofmac Response to @atebits quote: Not until I can save things in folders with one program and open them with another. #
- 12:09 J.D. Salinger dies. A generation mourns, and another asks, "So?" #
- 12:11 University: Confirm Your Class Attendance.
University Website: Not so fast. # - 12:46 Perhaps it was because I read it at 22, but I never found Catcher in the Rye to be all that great. Annoying self-importance. Like Jane Eyre. #
- 12:47 (With that last quote, I'll lose half my followers, I feel) #
- 08:32 Every time I start to like Chrome for Mac over Firefox again, something is a roadblock. Today: Omnibox not as awesome as Fx's Awesomebar #
- 13:58 The iPad: I don't care about missing camera. What I wanted was 2+ iPhone apps per screen simultaneously. In a row. Come on! #
- 14:01 iPad: I'd like to try writing a paper on it and reading a book from it. Reading one and writing another would also be nice. #
- 14:02 iPad biggest hope: iPod Touches get cheap, cheap, cheap. I don't want one now, but when my iPod Touch dies, I want another of *those* #
- 14:03 @G_Wake FHU--we had a College Democrats club, then she graduated. #
- 14:06 Dear nascent iPad Jailbreak community: 3 iPhone apps, in a row. 3 iPhone apps, in a row. 3 iPhone apps, in a row. 3 iPhone apps, in a row. #
- 14:08 Okay, so--can I get the iBook app on my iPod Touch? Of course, I *do* already have a book app. #stanza4evar #
- 14:10 iPad: Wifi-N, but no Wifi sync? Awww. #
- 14:11 iPad: I like 5 columns on my iPod Touch. PLEASE tell me you can have more than 5 tiny icons per column on this thing. #
- 14:16 Last tweet: I meant "more than 4 columns"--Minus dock, you could fit 24 app icons on a screen. With enough space for another, and change. #
- 14:17 iPad: Seriously, you could fit 7 columns *comfortably*, and 6 rows as well. The dock just looks odd so bare. Not zen-bare—just-moved-in bare #
- 14:19 iPad final thoughts (honest!): I was excited about this when I got my iPod Touch. Now I'm excited about the next step: cheap, ubiquitous. #
- 14:20 @chadlandman Those people can overclock toasters. Fear not. #
- 21:10 Watched a little of the State of the Union. Man, Obama is GRUMPY. Tip: hiding grumpiness with humor doesn't work. #
- 21:12 Obama's like "Repubs are Repubs but you Dems just ANNOY me. You people are making my look bad!" #
- 21:13 Obama parahrase: you old folks need someone like me to whip you out of your funk. Mr. Smith he's not. #
- 13:59 Fun fact: "syzygy" and "zeugma" both have their roots in the Greek "zeugnunai," for "to yoke." Thank you, Oxford Dictionary! #
- 14:00 I love the phrase "two-word adjective": it's an example of what it is, recursive written onomatopoeia. #
- 14:01 @emuhleem Ketchup is sweet, mustard is spicy. Ketchup often has HFCS, Mustard has no calories, only flavor. Mustard FTW. #
- 14:27 @emuhleem My father's mustard-arguments are quite mustard-persuasive. #
- 14:33 @eea49 What can I say? I'm just a very sharing person. About mustard, especially. (I have at least three varieties in my fridge, right now) #
- 15:23 Drag-and-drop and @MailPlane is my new best friend on crazy SSL-port-blocking work wireless. #
- 21:12 Accidentally discovered that the shortcut for "send" in @MailPlane is the same as in Mail.app. Awesome. #
- 11:57 I'm really enjoying Google Chrome, but I wish I could sync CandyBar to update the icon every dev update. Is CandyBar scriptable? #
- 12:48 Just sent my first "Paper received" note with Typinator. Magnificent. #
- 12:54 @fhulibrary Were those _published_ illustrations or marginalia? They're amazing! #
- 13:10 Out of every built-in Apple program in Snow Leopard, Dictionary.app is by far the slowest. Why does it launch SLOWER than Firefox? #
- 13:48 Well, time to grade the first essays of the semester. Wish me and my students luck! #
- 14:56 @eea49: @ianwheat is simply RIGHT--best iteration of this joke to date. Plays out _perfectly_ #
- 14:57 @storiesofmac twit.tv, probably. #
- 15:15 @wilsonjohn It'd be great if plants watered with coffee would produce caffeinated fruit. If only, if only… #
- 15:50 @theath: *Scornful tsking* @ianwheat @eea49 #
- 16:25 @JustinGerhardt Hooray for @Evernote! I'm going to tell my class all about it soon. Note cards no, Evernote yes! #
- 22:02 Just discovered Firefox 3.6's new ctrl-tab feature. It is Awesome. mozillalinks.org/wp/2010/01/firefox-3-6-t
ips-and-tweaks/ #
- 08:30 @ianwheat We're cheering you on! #
- 08:41 This morning I felt my baby kick for the first time. Still waiting on 2nd time—hey, I won't argue with lethargic, quiet child. #
- 10:47 Got my grading spreadsheets done, w/ both final calculated grade and projected average grade, w/ color—Huzzah for conditional formatting! #
- 10:53 Time to go work out. Yaaay! #
- 08:48 Just figured out the Firefox keyboard shortcut for @1Password. My world is now a billion times easer—it's ⌘\ #
- 14:01 Getting a ton of papers in from my Parsons class, 3 hours before they're due. Go Parsons class! #
- 14:39 Washed dishes and put away clothes before Leah gets home from first day of student teaching. Remember—doing nice things makes you feel good! #
- 10:35 @Mailplane Ah! On by default ≠ Only on. Thanks! #
- 15:01 Changed my default font in Chrome to Helvetica Neue Light. Wikipedia looks so much nicer! #
- 15:22 @emuhleem That does, of course, assume a singular level of appropriateness. For you, what is it? #
- 15:50 @emuhleem Ehh--that's too low for me. Lower than that is obviously bad, but I prefer just to the top of the belt…if not an inch above. #
- 20:12 Clip show on tonight's Office. Seriously? I thought you were better than that, Office. #
- 20:14 #OfficeClipShow - like taking away 30 minutes of your time and giving you nothing back. #
- 20:16 …still better than the Star Trek: The Next Generation clip show. #officeclipshow #
- 10:01 @chadlandman Very cool. Kudos! #
- 13:22 I unlocked "Godlike" in "Sky Force"! bit.ly/5PbZwZ #
- 17:55 Win a Copy of Snowtape for Mac on MacStories ow.ly/YJe8 @storiesofmac #
- 06:34 @DevoidofContent Be Kind-Rewind #
- 11:45 I can't use my iPod Touch on the internet here at work. I tried going on the school's website... down. Well, it IS the first day of classes… #
- 13:41 @kenancasey Oh, IPv4. Don't people know it's 2010 already? IPv6 has been around for a while. This is like SK using SEED/ActiveX encryption #
- 14:17 @mailplane Just an idea: if https is now on by default, do we really need the little padlock in the bottom corner? #
- 15:03 New article on APA: "Believing You Can Get Smarter Makes You Smarter" www.apa.org/research/action/smarter.aspx #
- 15:08 @DevoidofContent Oh, I certainly enjoyed watching it, to be sure—I just don't plan on buying it. #
- 08:41 @ianwheat Depends where you teach, I guess, but new teacher inservices are often 3 weeks before. #
- 08:57 @chadlandman 3GS I don't know so much about--but I'd imagine that by now it'd be fine. HOWEVER, right now i'd wait til next Apple announce-- #
- 08:58 @chadlandman …the rumors are that 3.whatever firmware has been delayed bcuz of tablet stuff--you don't want to jailbreak twice in two weeks. #
- 09:01 @chadlandman Worst that could happen: brick (dunno if it's happened in past 6mo). Next worst: restore/try again. Blackra1n's awesome tho #
- 09:06 @chadlandman 3rd worst/biggest probability: if you let the battery drain completely, you must plug it up to mac to reboot, w/ BR running. Eh #
- 09:07 @chadlandman STANDARD DISCLAIMER: your money/phone's on the line, PLZ PLZ PLZ don't blame me. #
- 09:09 Sweetness of my wife: "Well, your coffee's cooled down, but it's an Italian temperature." I love her! #
- 09:45 @chadlandman So… why jailbreak? I love my FCSB and themes esp., but you'd prolly like having GV Mobile access. #
- 09:48 @chadlandman Here's my 2 screens (Hooray for Categories!). Theme: Illumine twitpic.com/ynsrw twitpic.com/ynsrs #
- 10:11 BTW: Final total for Fall 2009 Grading (5 classes of ENGL 111 / Comp I): 1001 essays + 257 revisions. Essay Avg Grad: B-; Final Avg Grad: B. #
- 10:14 Also, making my dad shudder, I CAN'T WAIT until evaluations are in. Really looking for improvement this semester in preparation. #
- 10:25 @leamayo Oh, probably all of them now. What I care about is how many they need, so what they think in five years is more important to me. #
- 10:28 Also: last semester, 79 students, so average of 12.6 papers per student, 3.29 revisions per student. #
- 13:32 @patricox I love "dulosis," but it's Greek, not Latin—and the OED has the related "dulocracy" which brings to mind Spartacus's rebellion. #
- 14:55 ALL RIGHT! Syllabi done, as well as grade sheet. Now only emailing it is left. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! #
- 15:03 63 degrees and sunny! Time for a walk with the dog #
- 17:34 @stirstir :( #
- 21:34 @DevoidofContent Yeah--it was kind of sad that way. The opening set me up too much. #
- 15:05 Caffeine-deprivation headache... commensing. Erggggggggg #
- 21:57 After an afternoon of feeling head- and tummy-achey, I had a good night at church and a good evening playing Agricola—and I won with 35 pts! #
- 22:00 Parsons syllabus done. Now converting Gmail filters over for the HS classes... #
- 22:11 Editing filters felt broken in Firefox. Trying in Chrome—works perfectly and quickly. If this had @1Password 2 support, I'd switch. #
