- Trying to explain tricky lactation issues over the phone to a clerk at a big box store is a fascinating communication task. My bad. #
- @stardiverr I needed some very particular supplies late on a Sunday night. Had very few choices. None, it turns out. in reply to stardiverr #
- @williamkist Thanks. How's the book tour? Bestseller yet? Movie rights? in reply to williamkist #
- @stardiverr All's well. Minor inconvieniences. in reply to stardiverr #
- @dmagy Dude. in reply to dmagy #

- PLNs, if they "are" at all, aren't cognitively aware or desiring. They don't want things or ask things as collective units. #
- . @concretekax Well, it's personal. And different for each person. But a PLN doesn't "work." It just is. Or isn't. in reply to concretekax #
- . @concretekax A PLN isn't a new idea. It's a new term for an old idea. Don't think about analogies – think about the thing itself. in reply to concretekax #
- . @concretekax How do people discover new ideas, consider them, and redistribute them? in reply to concretekax #
- @jonbecker Sorry, Jon. All I've got at the moment. Not enough sleep this week. in reply to jonbecker #
- .@concretekax You read books, right? Then you have access to the finest minds ever published. Speed, yes. But is that always an asset? in reply to concretekax #
- .@concretekax Of course you can have a conversation with a book. It's a little one sided, but that's how reading works.It's transactional. #
- .@concretekax "Easy" is a tricky word here. What's easier? Reading? Publishing? Sharing? Writing? (I struggle with this. Easy? Different?) #
- Approaching normal again. For a few minutes. Pork chops coming right up. http://twitpic.com/13ho2l #
- @russgoerend Not suggesting the only way. Forgive me if my words suggested as much. The ways you mention are transactional as well. in reply to russgoerend #
- .@russgoerend Sure. As do letters and notes and journals and etc. You can't read anything you can't see. It's not just about books. in reply to russgoerend #
- .@russgoerend I'm not saying that either. I *am* saying that people talking to each other across time and space via technology isn't new. in reply to russgoerend #
- Why the frenzy to do lots of little presentations in a big dang hurry? More people saying less? #formshouldbeusefultobefollowed #
- .@russgoerend I'd say that's people talking. in reply to russgoerend #
- .@russgoerend Is learning? Is writing? Is being human? in reply to russgoerend #
- .@concretekax Newspaper? Community forum? Live debate? (Not saying this isn't cool. But is it new?) in reply to concretekax #
- .@russgoerend Nope. Talking's not enough. But you know that. in reply to russgoerend #
- @bengrey But all of them? (I know. But it's hip to do lots in a hurry lately. Maybe too much emphasis.) in reply to bengrey #
- .@russgoerend @concretekax Yeah. I hear that a lot. Just not sure. in reply to russgoerend #
- @shareski @courosa No. It doesn't. Love _Glee_. But not the skating. Must be something else. #correlationisnotcausality in reply to shareski #
- Coffee has always been special. But this week, it's downright magical. #nosleepnocreamnoproblem #
- @cribchronicles No time for poetry, either. Or love. Or passion. Or curiosity. Just not enough time for those foolish things. #sheesh in reply to cribchronicles #
- Cool. Poetry app. http://poemflow.com/iPhoneApp #
- Holding a sleeping baby. Who will only sleep so long as I hold her. Aw, shucks. Guess I've got to hold her, then. #
- @sarahpom Ever? in reply to sarahpom #
- Home media server + The complete works of Ani DiFranco + some writing= a nice break. #
- I've been asking lots of PLNish questions lately in part because I'm curious, and in part because I'm supposed to be explaining the concept. #
- @mikesmactweets Wicked. Awesome. in reply to mikesmactweets #
- Quinn is an excellent eater. Not the best sleeper, though. Yet. #
- But those eyes. Man. Those eyes. #
- @milobo It was an intervention. The cactus fell into some hard stuff while I've been away. I'd like to say more, but it wouldn't be proper. in reply to milobo #
- Duet with Ani in the car. Turned into a dance party. Best. Car ride. Ever. #
- @juliafallon I hae four different recordings of that song. Each one's perfect. in reply to juliafallon #
- @jonbecker What's a slide? in reply to jonbecker #
- Making breakfast to celebrate Quinn's one week-day. A completely made up holiday, but one worth celebrating. And, there'll be coffee. #
- Ground the beans. Put a filter in the basket. Added water. Brewed . . . a pot of hot water. Oops. Forgot a step. Trying again. #
- Ah. Coffee. #
- This could be good. And useful. Help us make sure that it is. http://leadershipbootcamp.ning.com #
- @notperfect You pray and think and talk about it. Then try to act from a place of kindness and forgiveness. It's never an easy situation. in reply to notperfect #
- Cool. For several reasons. http://twitpic.com/13z6mq #
- @johncr8on Why not "high quality, stimulating learning environments"? #casb in reply to johncr8on #
- Teagan's looking high and low for her lunch. http://twitpic.com/13zg0v #

- @dlaufenberg Not yet it's not. in reply to dlaufenberg #
- In case you needed a little reminder in how contacting Congress works – here you go. http://j.mp/bUMDd2 #
- @sarahpom Yeah. That's one of the hardest questions I've ever been asked. Infinite choice. You want one. in reply to sarahpom #
- How was I not following @poh? #
- @Deacs84 Praying for y'all. in reply to Deacs84 #
- @poh That's probably it. In which case, you deserved it. in reply to poh #
- @poh I forgave you, though. So it's high time we are Twitter friends again. in reply to poh #
- Is the move by many to Posterous a fear of upsetting bigger audiences, or fear of having to perform for them? Or something else? #
- Seems weird. To what end, @willrich45? in reply to willrich45 #
- @ddraper @willrich45 So you can't use your blog for that? in reply to ddraper #
- @willrich45 Interesting. What'll fill the spaces between Posterous and Twitter? Posterous and the blog? (Not trying to be snarky as I ask.) in reply to willrich45 #
- @bengrey Exactly my point. in reply to bengrey #
- @ddraper @bengrey It's a fine tool. Just thinking about some of the uses I've seen. in reply to ddraper #
- @jonbecker @ddraper Yeah. What Jon asked. in reply to jonbecker #
- @dkuropatwa Yeah. I'm thinking that's what it is for lots. Less pressure? in reply to dkuropatwa #
- @djakes @bengrey @jonbecker So I'm curious about why writers make the choices that they make when they write. Where? When? To whom? in reply to djakes #
- @djakes @bengrey @jonbecker I think it's interesting and important. in reply to djakes #
- @ddraper I'm not a purist. Multiple audiences and purposes work. But I hear you. in reply to ddraper #
- @fceblog Yep. If you have that option. I wish I did. in reply to fceblog #
- @fceblog A fine statement of what I suspect is the issue. in reply to fceblog #
- How do babies start out nocturnal? #frustratingbutQuinniscutesoiamnotholdingitagainsther #
- @willrich45 @smartinez I don't know. I'm just wondering why folks choose "this goes on my blog" versus "this goes somewhere else." in reply to willrich45 #
- Interesting string of thoughts from @fceblog on wheres and whys re: Posterous. http://twitpic.com/1445nr #
- @willrich45 That's what I lean towards. But I don't know that I'm right. I feel the pull of perfection there now. Need to move past it. in reply to willrich45 #
- @djakes @willrich45 Cool. Not trying to say "don't use Posterous," Just thinking about writers and their choices. It is really easy to use. in reply to djakes #
- @djakes Sorry 'bout the tickets. I bet you could still get some Rockies tickets if you hurried. in reply to djakes #
- @djakes Actually, I try to. But I'm not going to argue the data thing. You're smart. Bet you've got an exit strategy. in reply to djakes #
- Quinn at eight days. http://twitpic.com/144tbl #
- Wait. NBC is calling Tiger Woods' press conference a "special report?" I just threw up a little. #
- All three networks? C'mon. #
- CSPAN's not showing it. That's something. #
- @joblesschicago Nope. Not me. Gave up on tv. Not watching that. in reply to joblesschicago #

- A poor pedigree for circle time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_circle #
- Fiddling with this. Lots. Talking about show and tell tomorrow. Really hoping we will talk about modeling. #
- @dkuropatwa If not, I'm in trouble. (If you're putting things into circulation, it's okay to borrow things from circulation.) in reply to dkuropatwa #
- @bengrey Choose Your Own Adventure books. Linear or non-linear? multiple paths you take one at a time. in reply to bengrey #
- @willrich45 Seems to me you've a project screaming for Mixed Ink. http://mixedink.com/main.php in reply to willrich45 #
- @bengrey Is that a question of authorship or cognitive ability? (By your own definition, is anything nonlinear?) in reply to bengrey #
- You can give homework at #colearning right? It's that kind of conversation, right? #
- @bengrey Hmm. You can only edit one place at a time, right? in reply to bengrey #
- @bengrey: You should read this. It'll be helpful. http://bit.ly/dyYmmJ #
- @bengrey Then presentations, too, are non-linear. You can choose to ignore the path. So long as you can do that, then no problem. in reply to bengrey #
- I've been waiting for this post from @mrchase for a while. Relevant for the writing conversation from last night. http://bit.ly/9jPT8y #
- @sschwister Nice. Looking forward to digging in to that later. in reply to sschwister #
- .@bengrey That's not the fault of the text. That's the fault of the reader. #
- @bengrey It made my brain hurt. Still does. in reply to bengrey #
- @dtitle Nice. Look perfect for off roading. in reply to dtitle #
- @ScottElias Ask @dlaufenberg about name tags some time. She's a champ. in reply to ScottElias #
- @bengrey Yeah. I think things are constructed to be viewed linearly without exception. And somethings should be. in reply to bengrey #
- @NancyW I'm using the phrases "purposeful transparency" and "productive eavesdropping" to talk/think about sharing & learning & modeling. in reply to NancyW #
- @NancyW Slide deck's up if that helps. http://colearning.wikispaces.com/2010pd2 in reply to NancyW #
- @NancyW It's technically a PD session. But it'll be more individual/organizational communication and learning than traditional PD. in reply to NancyW #
- @NancyW Does that help? in reply to NancyW #
- @NancyW We'll see. I hope it goes well and is useful. Will you be at #colearning tomorrow? in reply to NancyW #
- And now back to baby matters. Awesome. #
- I suppose to know what something is in the 21st Century, it might do you some good to know what it was in other centuries. #
- Little bit of drama on the US Men's Curling Team. About all the politics I can handle today. Quinn's not taking it well. #
- @pblhq Who said it was an unconference? in reply to pblhq #

- Fascinating. Send Twitter folks to a Buzz conversation – and they reply via Twitter. Why is that, y'all? (Seriously curious. And thanks.) #
- @jorech Fair enough. (Although, to be a complete English geek – did I ask you here – or there?) Thanks! in reply to jorech #

- @milobo You will be missed. Hope all is going well for you. in reply to milobo #

- @val6dan Nope. Here it is. http://bit.ly/c9sQLV in reply to val6dan #
- Question from Dan – "How does the school contribute to the community?" #
- "How do we let more people own the conversation?" – @johncr8on (Yeah. And why do we need to "let" them?) #
- @shareski They provide the resources and the students. That's an awfully big contribution. in reply to shareski #

hot cocoa. # - Monster Bunny. http://twitpic.com/14jn3z #
- @mcleod Why would you perpetuate the myth that there IS one "edublogosphere?" Or will you be discussing that in your series? in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod Yep. But should we? We make generalizations about those things, at least. I look forward to your posts and hope they are not . . . in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod . . . overly assumptive and generalizing. in reply to mcleod #
- @mcleod Seems like, unless you're reading every educational blog, that's what a "best and worst" series will be. But I may be putting . . . in reply to mcleod #
