I am also not IMing with anyone & don't have my IM client up. Does that make me antisocial? Well...fuck it. Whatever.

I almost never have my IM client up. Maybe I should change that.
- tab thinks you're awesome
Mine is always up, but I never use it, because I actually tend to use IM more for work-ish stuff, and none of my coworkers ever bother to log on. Defeats the purpose, I think.
- DJF
Yes, because what could possibly be more antisocial than carrying on a conversation about your IM client status on Friendfeed? Oh, right. Not doing that. :-P

Exactly, Greg. Exactly.

Maybe this makes me sound self-entitled and deserving, but I really am disappointed that I'm expected to pay so much money to read so many research articles online. I would love to be able to read more professional research (beyond an abstract) but not at these steep prices. It would be fine at $1 an article or something but not $20-$50+ each.

agreed - check out PLoS, http://www.plos.org/ - all open source all the time - as of last year, anything funded by NIH has to be freely available online, so things are changing, slowly
- William Harryman
Have you tried your local libraries (public and university)? Public libraries can sometimes surprise you, especially if there is statewide access to databases. Universities sometimes have agreements with publishers that allow the public to access the articles if they are on campus. Of course, open access journals like PLoS are the easiest for getting to.
- Jaclyn
the library option is good, especially if you know someone with a college id to get inter-library loans for journal articles - some schools allow the public to buy access to the library, which is also a good option
- William Harryman
Jaclyn, I would, but our public libraries are on furlough so they're closed because we can't afford to keep them open. And, AFAIK, university libraries (at least, access to their benefits like rights to journals) are restricted to students. Like William said, I think I'd have to find a student willing to let me use their access.
- Rochelle
(1) Some public libraries have online databases, so those should be open even if the branches are closed. (2) I'd check out the policies of some of the nearby universities just in case - I know some allow visitors to use their computers if you're on campus, and from those computers you can use their restricted resources. The UW website, for instance, says if you use one of their Guest...

Rochelle, and research supported with federal money needs to be made available for free. They will disclose it in the abstract "supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health". Through the library of congress you can get the article, and if they won't give it to you free, you can make a shit storm of compliance insanity for the institution. Also, writing directly to the Author, they'll usually send you a PDF, if you copy and paste the citation.
- Matthew DeVries
Definitely check out your local universities. I'm a librarian at a state university, and our databases are open to the public. At the institution where I got my MLS, residents were able to use the databases for something like $5/day. It really varies. You probably won't be able to get them to Interlibrary Loan stuff for you (that's something your public library would probably do when...

I agree that all research should be available for free or very low cost. I'm lucky that I teach part-time at the local university, so I have a magic login for access.
- Shannon Jiménez
Rochelle, check out www.deepdyve.com if you are seeking access to professional research articles for very low cost. At DeepDyve, you can find many of these articles from free open sources, and millions of others from authoritative sources such as clinical journals available to rent for as little as 99 cents. Good luck! - Jen

Today I accidentally let the kittehs onto the enclosed porch. Normally, this would not be a big deal, but since the weather has turned cold, it's where their catnip plant resides. They found the plant very quickly. Sophie's been good, but since I brought them back inside Plum has been trying to break through the door to the porch. Bad Kitteh!!!

Happy/sad story about bookmarks: My dad used to stick them in books when he gave them to me. I rediscovered one long after he'd died -- inscribed "Happy birthday Stephanie / Love, Dad" -- and used it for ages. Then by mistake, I returned a book back to the library ... and couldn't find that bookmark. It's somewhere lost in the Five Colleges. <sigh> I do love me some bookmarks, and collect them from vacation & favorite bookstores. I guess it's genetic.

It takes a while getting used to the fact that your kids can be very different people when you're not around. It only gets worse as they get older. Equally shocking is the realization that sometimes the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
- John Dupuis
I wonder where he learned that?

Mr. 7's father's 8th (?) grade English teacher: "Class, I'm growing annoyed." Mr. 7's father: "You're growing a WHAT?" The important question about Mr. 7's jokes is, are they funny?
- Judy Lawson
I remember a teacher chiding me for cracking jokes to my friends in class. "Keep them to yourself!" Me: "But if I keep them to myself, they're not funny!"

Liking this for Lawson's mom participation.
- Sarah G.
Once in school, at a teacher-parent conference, the teacher said I was "loquacious". I snortled. My mom looked at me and asked what was up. And with an eyeroll, I go, "Loquacious? Please...I'm BLACK."

The more photos I see, the more I'm sure that IL2009 was an elaborate pretext for a Meg/Kendra buddy movie. Jason is a great guest star in this scene.

If I ever go to IL, I will have to be a speaker, because otherwise I would be very lonely while the speakers' reception was going on.

I think that's the new project for DLK and porter right? the meg/kendra film?

What's the difference between murder and manslaughter, because I'm pretty sure I'm about to be arrested for one or the other.

so do we need to find you a good lawyer?

Nope, it didn't quite get to that.

I believe murder requires premeditation. So I guess the tweet has you up to Murder 1.
- Spidra Webster
For future reference, don't tweet about before hand then you can claim "crime of passion" and no intent.
- Sarah G.
ah well that's good, glad you didn't, cause you know you'd be stuck having to answer all of them prisoners questions as the librarian around :)
- Sir Shuping
Manslaughter: unintentional killing (i.e., you run someone over with your car accidentally and they die). Second-degree murder: intentional killing, but without premeditation (i.e., you get angry and kill someone, but don't plan it out in advance). First-degree murder: pre-meditated murder (i.e., you plan out how you're going to kill someone and then carry out the plan). Do we want to ask what happened?
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
You have to have intent for it to be murder.
- Alex Scoble
Damn. Cause trust: the intent was there.
- Derrick
I FUCKING LOVE YOU SARAH.
