Shannon

I love that @audreywatters book Teaching Machines and her writing in general get a shout-out in this piece.

@kinlane I loved "How to Do Nothing" so much I read it twice. I didn't realize she had published another book.

@jimgroom Thanks for the blog love Jim ♥️

New blog post: "Web Building at UMW or, Why Shannon Hauser is #4life" bavatuesdays.com/web-building-a… Some much deserved love for the great @shauser!

@brennacgray @tressiemcphd I've been loving this thread. Feels like a thread to hold on to in the stream of "here's the latest thing". Thanks for the curation!

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is the collaborative work I do with my colleagues and students so I thought I'd write about it: caravanista.net/the-jam/

I wish tea actually tasted like something instead of just hot water.

@actualham My friend keeps the coffee carafe in his room so he has to get out of bed at a certain time lest the coffee machine gets coffee all over his kitchen. I find making myself drink a glass of water seems to wake me up (and is just generally beneficial).

I finished paying off my student loans during the COVID pause because I could get ahead. These payments are eligible for the debt relief and filling out the form took less than 5 minutes. I wish everything was this easy studentaid.gov/debt-relief/ap…

@ryanbrazell I unintentionally quit watching tv awhile back and now I can't even consume shows/media that are "intense". I think limiting my consumption of things that provoke a strong emotional response has helped my anxiety, but also means I'm sensitive to it when I do see it.

@ryanbrazell Yes, this is one fad I absolutely do not get and feel weird about. I don't want to be okay with the worst day of someone's life being my entertainment. There is so much more stuff to be entertained by.

@TaylorJadin So weird you tweet this right now as I've literally just spent the last hour or so trying to decide what static site generator I should try. I've never attempted any of this so this has perhaps swayed me towards Hugo :-)

New (meta) blog post (about blogging tools)! jadin.me/my-hugo-setup/

Zotero has this REALLY COOL FEATURE that lets you make groups and do "collaborative annotations." But most folks don't know about it. Here's how to get started 👇 A step-by-step guide with visuals 🧵

@rushaw Happy birthday rushaw!

@rushaw I did not comment on how expensive this single choco taco is but I'm sure I should blame Biden for the ice cream inflation.

Choco Taco was one of my favorite ice cream treats as a kid. So of course I bought one more before it disappears. #IceCreamCapitalism

@brlamb This is exactly the kind of thing I needed to read this morning. Thank you for putting this all together. It is inspiring.

Ah well, I guess I need to hit "publish" sometime. "A trailing-edge technologies share-a-thon", in which I try to face down the monsters of ed tech with nothing but faith and the glory of an open platform to protect me: abject.ca/trailing-edge-…

Heads up, #FXBG! Effective July 1, 2022, the speed limit on the following road segments will be reduced from 25 to 20 MPH:

@twoodwar I have no answers except that I've been wrestling with this too a bit (except a bit from the perspective about expectations of how we provide support). Although perhaps support of platform and its use is part of the equation.

I'm hoping to provide budget clarity. Even if things are used exclusively to meet student/faculty needs (video hosting e.g.) they still ought to be seen as infrastructure. I don't want the edtech budget inflated by things like this.

Anyone have a delineation between edtech & enterprise tech they like? I struggle. Feels like edtech ought to be firmly tied to edu outcomes while enterprise tech is general need. So Google Apps, Panopto, the LMS, all = enterprise. Mathematica as part of curriculum = edtech

I had a conversation with a professor who had become a mentor. I was very unsure of what to do (too many interests) and when we landed on history as something I might reasonably like I went with it. When I was 18 I was really looking for someone to tell me what I should do.

Just when I thought I'd finally catch-up on my The Believer backlog. This is the best kind of problem to have though.
