  • Was just asked by a colleague if, in baseball, third base is left field … may not have answered that one with much grace. #
  • RT: @SaraDCaldwell: Story out of Valdosta State Uni.– Prof arrested for "battery" after closing a laptop. http://t.co/KZWCZpC #
  • That was the most difficult three minutes worth of information I have ever delivered … it took 30, I need to learn more languages … #
  • @vhernandezcnn How about quasi-colleagues in, say, Athens? Any way they can see the presentation? #
  • Hey … it's dark in here. No power on the east side of Athens. #
  • @jfrickuga throughout the magic of @Twitter and the Internet, I tweeted and the power came back on. Technology rocks. #
  • Worried about the news my NPR station (http://t.co/8ER5Ysu) isn't covering, like the radio tower in the middle of a road. Go on, click. #
  • Pretty sure the shortened url in my last tweet is longer than the original … seems someone should be able to fix that. #
  • Our wonderful Microsoft email service is down, again, and @eitsnews must be overwhelmed with calls as the help desk number is busy … #
  • @alexaubuchon So you know, @jgstovall has complete permission to use those UGA videos. Hope they help. #jem230 #
  • @nleffew Were the videos helpful? #jem230 #
  • Just what I needed. RT: @dkiesow: RT @zseward: http://t.co/t4XV5jP is your handy resource today. #
  • Father-in-law is tapping at my wife's computer because she ordered him to blog on her site. Social media fascist reverse nepotism? #

  • @michaelianblack Not sure he's with the press … says the press guy over your right shoulder. #SXSW #
  • @VizJournalism: Now online: Disconnecting, Reconnecting at #SXSW http://t.co/CLmk9u7 #
  • Any other #SUxSW gatherings planned? Missed the formal ones, unfortunately. #
  • @LizMartinezG It is a bit of both. Some faculty are uncomfortable and some students resist intellectual exploration. #journalistsgeeks #
  • Why will a journalist fly to Japan, drive towards a melting down reactor but won't pick up a book and learn Final Cut? #journalistsgeeks #
  • Trying to decide if passion or isolation is fueling a lack of civility in two organizations I am both passionate about and isolated from. #
  • Watching a "twitterview" in person is more fun than reading it, I think. (@brandilarsen at work) http://t.co/NwiNWLb #
  • RT: @VizJournalism: Now online: Reviewing Coverage from Japan http://t.co/3nXvMrG #
  • Best question for a student: "Are you on Facebook? Who's your audience?" Can my kids answer that? (Told to me by @brandilarsen just now.) #
  • RT: @saragregory: A great use for old library card catalogs: http://t.co/XVvsjl4 (h/t @craigtimes) #
  • "Due to the extremely light passenger load we will board all zones now …" never heard that before. #
  • Wait … I've been here before … Seventh flight in nine days, third time through Charlotte. http://t.co/5IDNhpj #
  • RT: @VizJournalism: Journalists to be Released in Libya. http://t.co/lZgnLeY #
  • @rj_c Thanks, will be happy when my spring break "vacation" is over. Hope your SXSW adventure ended well. #
  • May have just published two of the snarkiests posts of my life. When I tell photo students to translate Latin, there may be a problem. #
  • @rj_c Left Austin Wednesday, left Georgia this morning for Boston. Can't wait to get back to work next week and relax. #
  • The seat or the crate? RT: @fmicklow: Something to add to my list of trunk must haves http://t.co/MY6MbpW @markejohnson #

  • Small Boy just asked what his sister's phobia is. I may have answered, "the truth." #stepparentingfail #
  • Him: I specialize in cost capitalization reduction through active regression programming. Me: Um, I'm just trying to save democracy. Him:… #
  • When in New England, one must visit a Dunkin Donuts. #JOUR5370 #DocDonuts http://t.co/DrBqS90 #
  • Lightning trip to the #NPPA #NorthernShortCourse already done. Great talks in my two presentations, giant notes to be posted next week. #
  • Unintended consequence of baggage fees: Massive delays in boarding as most folks can't take their two allowed bags, no room. #
  • The people lining up to fly to Austin look much hipper than the people who were lined up to fly to Providence. #SXSWi effect? #
  • Seems like when flying to Texas you'd be on a bigger plane … #
  • First line at #SXSWi http://t.co/BVcHK6D #
  • And now … second line at #SXSWi http://t.co/DGlFxk2 #
  • Three people around me are interviewing each other for their blogs. How do I get j-students to be this interested? #SXSW #geekheaven #
  • It is entirely possible three people I follow are in this #SXSW room with me. But we've never met. (Session on Social Photography.) #
  • RT: @VizJournalism: Now online: SXSW Survival Guide http://t.co/ogApUJk #
  • RT: @VizJournalism: Now online: First iPad 2 in the Wild at #SXSW http://t.co/ZH3Nwxh #
  • Four kinds of hip at #SXSW want to be, are, think they are and may need one replaced. Didn't think I could ever feel this uncool again. #
  • @almostdaniel I have walked by that Big Cheese place so many times I think my cholesterol level is up 25 points. #sxsw #
  • Guy came in late to this #SXSW panel with an ice cream cone full of … Bacon. Not sure what to think of that. #
  • I travel 1,000 miles to a conference with 10,000 people and I meet … someone who grew up around the corner from my house. #SXSW #

  • @georgiawebgurl It was delicious … best Brunswick stew I've ever had. #
  • Have a very bad feeling about today. Email server down, web sites won't load and now MarsEdit keeps crashing. Definitely a Monday. #
  • @redsweater MarsEdit crashes seem to have been a network issue here, but nice customer support – thanks. Happily blogging again. #
  • @JM_Sullivan I am not right about everything, but do know a few things. Step ladders and changes of clothes are good to have in your car. #
  • Well, this is a first: spiders force an auto recall. http://t.co/CoNw5Yo #
  • I'm getting the sense that I need to attend #SXSWi this year so I know what to do next year … #toomanychoices #
  • Also: Concerned I'll be the kid with the "old" iPad @SXSW … but I bet the lines will be short at registration on Friday morning. #
