no.

no.

no.

good practice. I need to say 'no' more.

I know my method can't be "I read all the things," but I wish I just could say that

ooh, a nice aca-spam email that praises me for my expertise, based on a book review I wrote.

Once again, a piece of mine cited and the author suggests it is about pretty much the *opposite* of what the paper is actually about. #thanksForTheCitation and #thanksForLackOfReadingComprehensionSkills

As a professor at a public university, my number 1 job seems to be wading through corporate spam for shoddy e-education this and i-textbook that.

don't know about you, but when I get a new computer, I say, "Let's see what this Galaxy-class starship can do."

My hope: none of you endure departments like the one described here:

An excerpt from my book Weaving the Dark Web is available on Medium: https://medium.com/@mitpress/legitimacy-on-the-dark-web-2c5fea6f1399

Pretty fascinating. I wrote a piece a few years back (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1461444814554900) on a dark web social networking site. The people who ran it and participated in it were very much like many #mastodon instances: they were tired of corporate social media and were making an alternative.

The piece is getting cited, but apparently by people who don't read. Many citations simply refer to the DWSN as a "hacker community" or a "social network for criminals" or the like. #notwhattheyweredoing

For the third semester in a row, I've had to cancel my first session of Intro to Web Design early because of bizarre file/folder structures in the lab. All the computers are thin clients connected to virtual machines. Some have a network N: drive; others have 2(!) C: drives. All of them have multiple "Desktop" folders. It's a nightmare trying to teach in that environment
