Tweets
- @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
- Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago
- This says I tweet mainly about education, technology, and... healthy living (?)... fun topic-izer of tweets: http://165.124.128.196:8000 14 hrs ago
- @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
- @lrainie It's hard for me to do anything menacingly, and I'd try it for a classroom entrance, but I suspect the reference would be lost... 3 days ago
- @lrainie That is my new goal! Channel Omar more often :). 3 days ago

Congratulations go to Kara Kerwin, who this afternoon successfully defended her masters thesis, Hyperlink Use on Personal Weblogs. I’m sure she will post her thesis once it is submitted and official. She conducted IM focus groups and looked at the motivations for creating hyperlinks on personal weblogs. We will (once she gets through the red [...]

Last night I went to a set of presentations from students in our wifi class in the Masters in Informatics program. Really good stuff.
