Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2009-05-08

My BlackBerry installed new operating system software, taking an unexpected 45 minutes this morning. This now requires a lot of tweaking. #
Attending day 2 of Adobe Captivate training. #
Running late already this morning. #
As I teach a class in designing and developing online learning, I am getting a number of good ideas here above Adobe Captivate. #
I am really enjoying the online Captivate 4 course; very engaging. #
Just made it back from our lunch break before the thunder and lightening started outside. #
Enjoying the Captivate training. Have never attended all-day synchronous online training. #

The GoToMeeting client we are using for this training looks powerful, but it is not intuitive at all. #

I stumbled across the Irish Hunger Memorial. Never knew that existed http://tinyurl.com/d7qxr5 #
Great bike ride. Got so involved in visiting Battery Park , I lost track of the time and rode back in the dark without bike lights. #
I am going for my second bike ride (in 28 years) on my new, 1-week old bike. #
I am the only person within eyesight who am carrying an umbrella. It rained this morning! #

Finished my data collection, and just finished cleaning up the first set of transcribed notes to send back to the interviewee. #

Adam Lambert 866-436-5705 #
I see Adam Lambert is making a big splash on #TwitScoop. http://tinyurl.com/dbmtjh #
Listening to Talking Heads, Take Me to the River. Love the classics. #
As Simon said, nobody can top Adam Lambert’s performance tonight. #
Nice to see Adam Lambert getting back to his roots and the grittiness we came to love and want more and more. #
Took a break and watched another episode of Little Dorrit. Eat your hearts out, you Brit wanna-bes! #
Just finished my second interview for my Lancaster project. Now, finish cleaning the data to send back to the interviewees for their review. #
On my way home. Conducting the second interview for my doctoral project later this evening. #

Amazon Kindle DX Announced!

While I have resisted getting a Kindle, due to some of its limitations, I think the new Kindle DX may just fill the gap. It can show the NY Times like a newspaper, and also has native PDF support.

All it needs is a full-fledge web browser and color, and it will dominate the hardware market. I wonder if that is next?

Just got a revised IRB consent form for a work project. Phew. #
Trying to focus on my school projects, but too tired this evening. I am watching Little Dorrit. #
