Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2008-05-22

  • Ate dinner in Little Italy with a friend from grad school and the misses. Good times. #
  • @SarahStewart Insert > Movie (or Media, depending on the version). #
  • Had a meeting at the Hartford Institute at NYU School of Nursing this morning. #
  • Have been thinking about my Leadership class students who have their mid-term this evening. Hope they caught up on the reading. #
  • Hope my students have been considering their own developing definitions of Leadership. That would be a good exam question, wouldn’t it? #
  • @Catalina_h Perhaps a hike in Bear Mountain State Park? #
  • @gallada There is a lot of reading. Focus on major models for content, application, and internalization. #
  • Need a triple grande skim latte. #
  • Feeling a little light-headed. #
  • @injenuity I like your new pic. You do shuffle them up. #
  • @leelefever How long does the charge last on something like that? Can’t shake the memory of the old mowers with extension cords. #
  • @leelefever Do they also calculate how long or wet the grass can be. I know I have learned the hard way how important these issues can be. #
  • I hope my students have reviewed the Bass and Riggio Transformational Leadership (2nd edition) text as I told them on Tuesday. #
  • @fncll Sending you the vibes of the Wisdom of Solomon. #
  • @fncll Sounds cool, though somewhat more corporate than higher ed. #
  • @Catalina_h Huh? #
  • @coyenator It is one of those buzzwords that we (sometimes) try so hard to standardize and measure that it results in just another task. #
  • @suewolff I have never heard of it before, though would like to study with Carolyn Ellis. #
  • Off to class. #
  • Just gave my students their mid-term. Hope they are doing well on them. #
  • @butwait Can you elaborate? #
  • @maniactive Strange, how profound that sounds. #
  • @tonykarrer Who else do you know who is going to ASTD in San Diego? I was going to start talking about it next week. Plan to liveblog it. #

Tom Ford vs. Thom Browne

Tom Ford or Thom Browne? While Tom Ford dresses men in clothes more formal than I like to wear, I can’t help thinking that Thom Browne has sold people a bill of goods that clothes that are too small and really do not fit are somehow worth selling at a premium.

Perhaps I am just too conservative, but you be the judge:

Tom Ford on the left / Thom Browne on the right

WordPress Upgrade and into a Vortex

I upgraded my blog to the most current version of WordPress at the beginning of this week, primarily because I was inspired to approach technology with a new emphasis after being inspired by Nancy White’s facilitation skills in the Connected Future (CP2tech01) workshop that is now in its fourth week.

While the upgrade went well, what I did not expect was to get slammed at work and with teaching and preparing for a conference and academic stuff, etc., so that I would need to take a few days off from following my colleagues’ posts, Tweets, and discussions.

As I will not have Internet access over the long weekend, I will instead catch up with everything tonight. Here comes my responses and thoughts!
