Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-09-11

BTW, this wonderful wedding ceremony was at St. Mark's Church in the Bowery. Truly, the Episcopal Church welcomes you! #
At the recessional, one groom looked bubbly and happy, while the other a bit more nervous. Perhaps life just repeats in new ways? Amen. #
The communion music is a jazzed version of The Beatles' I want to hold your hand. Very fitting. #
I am not sure what is more surprising for me – 2 grooms or the entire gathering of people passing around the bread and wine. #
I like how the priest explained to us what will come next. Very inviting. #
Hope my Tweeting about this does not disturb those around me, but I am hoping that sharing this here may promote understanding and peace. #
The span of music from "not too young to get married" to Gounod's Ave Maria shows the wealth of music to celebrate. #
As the pastor celebrating the ceremony said, this is the very working through of fear and challenge that Jesus spoke of in the Beatitudes. #
This is very refreshing after so many years of the stiff Catholic traditions I have engaged in over the years. #
This wedding, that happens to be gay, is the first ceremony in a Christian church I have seen in some time. #
This gathering is to show that the state has now allowed us to celebrate this blessing. Seems the Episcopal Church is nicely progressive. #
The Gospel was the Beatitudes. The homily spoke about how this wedding is not making an exception. #
This wedding comes from the thirf marriage rite of the Church of New Zealand. Very classy yet approachable. #
There was just a modern Psalm, a reading from the Wizard of Oz and a reading from Goodridge v. Department of Health. Very fitting. #
There was a wonderful jazz opening, with singing and clapping. Goodness, straight weddings have a lot to learn from a gay wedding. #
We are attending this wedding ceremony, and I feel I just have to Tweet it; how else to share a gay wedding in a NY church? #
Getting ready to attend a wedding this evening; will be the first gay wedding I have attended since NY legalized it this summer. #
@savasavasava @JaneDavis13 Seems significant. Of course, as doctoral liminality is the focus of my thesis, I would say that! #phdchat #
@lizith @Eingang @janedavis13 @davecormier @gconole and to make it even more interesting, distance is a relative term, ehh? #phdchat #
Just had brunch with my closest friend from college who is here visiting his sister. Nice that all people seem to pass through NYC. #
@dugganjr @OpenUPEducation @DrAshCasey @Kerileef @VGoodyear I sensed discontent with current policies but few strategies to move forward. #
@kiwicito No, I use and swear by #MAXQDA #phdchat #
@christiepooh @savasavasava Say no to what? #
@savasavasava Thanks! It was quite a bit different. Well worth it, though. #
@ben_spigel Perhaps I will try that. Wondering if I should just wait for an iP#d 3, as I have the original one. #
@ben_spigel Seems there are various ones. Have you used one? #
@JaneBozarth I also really like the small bookstores and energy in all of them. #
@JaneBozarth Got it. I think I like the energy in Covent Garden and Soho, along with the feel of Knightsbridge and Bloomsbury. #
Is there any way in the official Twitter app to mark Tweets as being read? #
@JaneBozarth What do you like most about London? #
@sarahthesheepu What conference? #
@lizgloyn Thanks! All safe and sound (for now at least). #
@ben_spigel As I asked other people about this, how do you handle typing, such as long emails? The iP#d onscreen keyboard is a bit bulky. #
@dugganjr @OpenUPEducation @DrAshCasey @Kerileef @VGoodyear Did you find any concrete suggestions on how to do that? #BERA2011 #phdchat #
@TheTarosophist Happy to! Is there a forum for this, or otherwise some specific time when you need or want it? Happy with the responses? #
@lindathestar How do you handle typing? I tend to do large spurts of Tweets, and cannot figure how to replicate that with the iP#d. #
@lindathestar @kiwicito Agreed. #MAXQDA is much less expensive for a student license. They are more friendly, shall we say. #
@heatherdavis Do you do a lot of typing with it? #
@kiwicito Seems to be working fine now; nothing but problems with its remembering me when I close the program and log back on. #
@gconole Your hospitality is fantastic. Drinks and dinner on me when you are here next. #
@gconole Thanks; got home very late, but then a full night sleep and I feel great. #
@lmockford That is only browser-based, right? #
Trying #TweetDeck one last time for today, #
@gconole If you are blushing at that, I will say nothing about your fantastic cooking! @aeratcliffe #
@NancyWhite Wow, I like your new avatar, too! #
@qui_oui I like your new avatar. #
After more problems with #TweetDeck than I can count, uninstalled and reinstalled it. Let' see how that works. Hmm, still not sending Tweets #
Starting the morning rather early with laundry and cleaning up from the trip. I really like arriving late and then having a full night sleep #
What a change from London; the police outside Newark Airport not only carry handguns (always did) but one has a big rifle over his shoulder. #
Just arrived safely and 30 minutes early (thanks Virgin Atlantic!) Into Newark Airport. #
