Wading at the confluence of ambient research, recursion theory, rhetoric, and the future of writing studies.
RT @jenlmichaels: A gem from Cynthia @selfe2: "You can't go wrong with making your claims teeny/modest and your data big/extensive."
#IgeekAT: Here's the story of Frank and Sophia, which we'll be using next in class! | http://txt.io/t-286dd
RT @slhedge: Dissertation data so far: 7 hours of interviews, 139 survey responses, 2 hours of video, 30 images and 15,000 words of fieldnotes. \o/
In an interview w/a research participant today, I learned that he uses SMS "saved drafts" on his 2005 phone for notetaking and planning.

BSU undergrads who are looking (or will be looking) for work: go read @spinuzzi's post on writing cover letters, NOW! http://spinuzzi.blogspot.com/2012...
RT @lizard_lis BSU police I will not follow you on Twitter. Actually, BSU I don't want to follow any of your services on Twitter. // Timely!
RT @NickiLBaker: When I close my eyes, I see a combo of wrestling moves and text of activity theory. Seriously. // #IGeekAT
I've always been puzzled by the idea of giving lectures about the futility of giving lectures. [e.g., Ted Talks, et al.]
You mean technologies won't automatically lead to more effective learning? Crazy! | http://chronicle.com/article... // #4E1
RT @ScottReinke: I've noticed I can use things we've read from 231/431 for almost any paper/research project if I position it correctly. #4e1 #RhetoricWin

Well said. MT @kjmay14: The New Yorker may never publish a writer's work, but Twitter always will!
.@mediatedlife It cost a *lot* for me at the time. And there are related costs: artifact management, stress, storage, guilt...
.@kjmay14 That's a clever response (I'd expect nothing less!), but truth be told, the weekly issues simply formed a huge pile, unread.
A Creative Writing prof made me subscribe to the New Yorker as an undergrad. Surely that's more onerous than requiring Twitter or RSS?

#IgeekAT folks: I'm curious—are you starting to view things differently? Mediation, object-orientedness, contexts, functional organs, etc.?
RT @writing24seven: #IgeekAT my research constantly admits lack of social context, personal characteristics and family systems. Activity theory for the win!
My first raw food Friday was a success. Now, HopSlam.
#IgeekAT folks: feedback on microstudies of situatedness in BB. Facsinating, insightful, rigorous work. I <3 my job.
