Friday Quick Hits and Varia
It’s a chilly (but not outright cold) end-of-the-semester Friday and as good a time as any for some quick hits and varia.
Since a million people have Facebooked, Tweeted, and blogged it: Santa’s Tomb.
The ten best commercials of 2011 (h/t Susie).
Two conflicting views on the utility of academic blogging here and here (h/t Richard Rothaus). And here are some reflections on 10 years of blogging by a real professional.
Some weeks it would just make sense to have Rothaus do my quick hits and varia: The Scale of the Universe.
A pretty cool post at Teaching Thursday on Blink Grading.
I guess Ricky Ponting really really really wants to play on Boxing Day (and some luck never hurt).
There is a little movement over at Arranged Delirium these days.
Enterprise Software Sucks. This conversation is played out a million times a day at every university that proudly runs some very expensive content management system that is worse than a free blogging platform.
What I’m reading: J. Fabian, Ethnography as Commentary: Writing from the Virtual Archive. (Duke 2008).
What I’m listening to: Ty Segall, Goodbye Bread; We Were Promised Jetpacks, In the Pit of the Stomach.
