Tweetdeck Im officially hooked to Twitter and use Tweetdeck to organize and group those I follow. So easy to clip from articles online, jot down to do lists, and tag and organize it all. Delicious Tag articles as you go. But Gcal helps me keep myself organized, and now that Ive discovered CalenGoo for the iPod Im all synched up.

Tuesday, June 19, 2007 Using FaceBook Im trying to expand my horizons a bit these days and have been taking a closer look at a whole bunch of tools out there, including SecondLife and FaceBook. There was a great NYTimes article a few weeks ago about a mom signing up for a FaceBook account, completely appalling her teenage daughter.

Mark Oehlerts response to Tom Crawford on the Kindle reminded me of a New Yorker article from last month, in which Anthony Grafton concludes that paper books are an anthropological record of their times and of the people reading it. Great post, Cammy and Im completely with you on loving the physical feel of a good book.

Im concerned that women will be excluded if such a focus is put on gaming skills -- or at least the gamer label. Im just raising some questions. Check out this article called Girl’s Night Logged On which is really intersting about a female gaming dynamic that is rarely discussed. I dont have a conclusion here.

Im struck by why I find this topic so interesting. I was pointed in the direction of a good article on learning styles from Harold Stolovich via Guy Wallace. And on that note, I think Im pretty much done now with my learning styles assignment. As a practical person, I tend to avoid theory. Somehow this is an easy starting point.

Thursday, May 18, 2006 A General Theory of Love An article in National Geographic about the chemistry of love sparked a conversation with my friend Bob. Not because Im trying to figure out the mysteries of love (although that would be nice, too) -- but because it turns out Im extremely fascinated by the brain and how it works.

That said, Im a little concerned that the gamer mentality is sometimes presented as important to corporate culture and that as a result women should get into gaming. Im a bit of an über a-hole when it comes to stereotypical representations - the giggly "girl" (which is the name of this episode) just lights my match. Which is correct?
