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
- @lrainie Reducible in part to "who said it wasn't already all a game"? :) 3 days ago

Think-a-writer

Through what seems to be a fairly painstaking process, this can now be accomplished. It’s an exciting proposition, I think, because it suggests the idea of typing at the speed of thought. Of course, it turns [...]
Of grills and other implants

Google Maps Walking Tour
Tim Bray posted a link to Udell’s Google Maps walking tour of Keene, NH, in case anyone (like me), hadn’t seen it. This is really very cool: it’s what happens when you allow others to co-design your service. I don’t know how many of the current MI students read my blog (I suspect very few), [...]

Brain mail
I thought I was soooo cool when I started using Dragon Naturally Speaking to respond to emails a few years back. Then I realized that because I spent so much time proof reading for homonyms, it was faster to just type. Little did I know…. There are two choices. One is the patented Neurotrophic Electrode, [...]
