Chocolatespoon: Emily’s Musings

Since I’ve been asked a couple of times now about how (and implicit in that, why) I use Twitter, I thought I’d write up a response here (since I couldn’t manage to do it in 140 characters or less.) First, I’ll admit I don’t use it all that much compared to many people I know, but I enjoy it and am intrigued by it.

I guess I use it in a couple of different ways:

Karen linked to a fun site that does a Myers-Briggs analysis of a blog.  Mine comes out as ESTP (though when I’ve taken Myers-Briggs I’m usually an ENTJ or ENFJ)

ESTP – The Doers

The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and [...]

My phone today decide to stop responding — the other functions on the phone worked, but not the actual phone feature (so I could actually dial out by calling from the SMS screen, but not press any of the buttons on the phone screen to dial or answer incoming calls). Huh. So I [...]

Today’s the fourth birthday of my blog, which I started back on August 29, 2003. I love being able to look back on the old entries and see what I was up to! And of course, lots more changes are coming in my life soon…

For me, one of the main benefits of having a blog is that it serves as an external memory bank.  I’ve never been particularly good with dates and names and its so nice to get to go back in and search for things to find out when they happened or who I saw what movie [...]

One of the assignments that I subjected my students to was to create a blog post from a fun meme. I thought I’d play along with this one — and found that I am even nerdier in more ways than I had thought.

Yes, I know there are a few bugs in my conversion over to wordpress from movable type (including some weird displays in IE6 and Mac Safari — and probably in other browsers as well). I’ll work on that shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for visiting anyway!!

I just learned that a paper I wrote with a great group of folks many years ago, Tools for Global Virtual Teams, is being reprinted as Chapter 3 of a new book, “Collaborating Virtually, Concepts & Applications”, edited by Kumuda Laxman Tripathy, published in 2007 by the ICFAI University Press. Cool!
