Jeff Swain recently published a video asking others why they Tweet, so I figured I would respond. As usual, it’s hard for me to be serious about anything, especially through video, and despite two takes at a response I still think I failed. But hey, I’m the bava, and my theme is clean

Twitter on Campus
Published by November 6th, 2009 in UMW Blogs, WordPress, twitter and wordpress multi-user. 5 CommentsNorth Carolina State University has really made an impressive case for using Twitter more extensively on campus. A wide range of departments, organizations, and clubs at NCSU are using Twitter to get announcements, events, and relevant links out to the campus community, and they created a slick aggregation space that brings all of this together [...]
Tripping on Twitter by way of the Election in Iran
Published by June 21st, 2009 in Uncategorized and twitter. 5 CommentsI spent the last hour or so following the #iranelection hastag on Twitter. It is really unbelievable how much stuff is streaming through on a second-by-second basis.

Randy Thornton, proprietor of the Metamedia blog, rocks! He recently wrote and performed his own song about Twitter called “Still tweeting 4U”. I love this kinda stuff—this is who we are, damn it! It may be a country song, but it’s all EDUPUNK in my mind: have fun, create, innovate, do. And when you bring [...]
I went down to the University of Richmond today to see Tom Woodward’s Blog Bestiary presentation at UR’s Learning 2008 event. Tom’s presentation was a lot of fun, and his ability to take the medieval bestiary metaphors and images and graft them onto the flexibility and possibilities for re-imagining blogs was masterful. Hopefully he’ll [...]
Prologue Theme Major Hit (or is it Punch-Out?)
Published by February 3rd, 2008 in WordPress, plugins, themes, twitter, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 0 CommentsA strange thing happened to me today. I was playing around with the new Prologue theme for WordPress that acts in many ways like Twitter. I had already tested it on WordPress.com here, but I wanted to see if the GPL theme (freely available distributed here) would work on a hosted WordPress Multi-User installation. So, [...]
(Aside: Excuse the appropriation and editing of Cat Power’s awesome album title — and awesome album for that matter!).
Over the last few days Twitter has been ablaze with updates from this year’s Educause Learning Initiative conference. The flood of tweets certainly augmented my already considerable yearning to be there, and Tom Woodward of the Bionic [...]
