December 1, 2008 – Silence and Voice

@BlancheMaynard Want to talk it out with us here in the Twitterverse? #
@betsyweber Deal. #
@chadarizona Thank you for the link. I am not familiar with #CSCW, the Computer Supported Cooperative Work conference. Did you present? #
@chadarizona I am looking to see what research, if any, has been done on or about Twitter. #
@BlancheMaynard Great. I hope you are not reading this now. #
Meeting a colleague for lunch; another instructional designer who works here I have never met. #
@BlancheMaynard hmmm, this is still suspect . . . #
Today is the final day for submissions to #QI2009 – The Fifth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI2009) http://www.icqi.org/ #
Anybody out there submit a proposal to attend #qi2009? #
Watching my students take their final exam for the Research Process and Methodology course. #

Are you aware that today is Cyber Monday, the Monday immediately after Black Friday? The annual online shopping event is now 3 years old, and is all over the media this morning.

Are you aware that today is World AIDS Day, December 1? The annual day of activism and remembrance is now 20 years old, and reminds us that 2.7 million people get infected with HIV each year.

Odd how I am hearing a lot about the shopping day, and less about the disease day.

Wonder what the priorities are, and should that be the order? Can these two memorials influence one another? Should they? Can one help the other? Is one more important depending on one’s field or profession or life experiences or relationships? Are they about life? Death? The Past? Present? Future?

I suppose I even wonder if either makes a difference at all?
