January 2011 – Silence and Voice

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-01-31

Does $5.69 for a 59oz #Tropicana OJ sound pricey to you? Gotta hate #Gristedes over-charging in #NYC #
Time to get more snow off the roof while clothes are in the dryer. #
The dogs let me sleep late this morning. Just turned on NPR and heard Old MacDonald Zulu Style http://n.pr/gmlXQm. Quite good. #

Just spent 2 hours getting snow off the roof. #
Sign of the times: watching a snowplow at Hudson and Christopher stuck in the snow. Perhaps needed chains? #NYC #

Delicious dinner of appetizers. And wine; red wine. #
Does anybody know if #Papers has a Twitter presence? #phdchat #
Finally a quick bite before my 2:00. #
I will have a month to work the overview into a longer, more involved document to submit for initial peer review on Feb 28 #phdchat #
Next steps involve some tweaks to my one-page thesis idea overview and then formal submission for supervisor assignment. #phdchat #
I just received positive feedback on my initial one-page doctoral thesis idea / questions / method / framework. #phdchat #

So, started playing with #Scrivener What process do people use to mark or track where #Endnote or #Mendeley references go? #phdchat #
Out to the snow for a late lunch. #
As I reviewed the #phdchat Tweets from yesterday on writing, I was surprised about few mentions regarding the apps people use to write. #
We had a large snowstorm overnight, and New York has now had the snowiest January on record. #

When I write I often listen to music on headphones; it quiets background noises and silences the wandering voice inside #phdchat #
Surprised by all my research writing over the past 2 years http://bit.ly/gRGdj5; I notice thesis patterns developing #phdchat #
Spent more time reading than speaking in today's #phdchat Will reply to some comments this evening. #
Hope the writing chat in today's #phdchat will also involve using various technologies to enhance #phd writing. #
