Snow Day Good Intentions

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Knowing that we were supposed to get an insane amount of snow I thought that I would use today to play catch up with the ever growing stack of dissertation prospectii and chapters waiting for my comments (none are over my 2 week self-imposed deadline). Instead I slept late.

You all might remember that I have a history of insomnia...well it's back. Even with no coffee and a max. of one diet soda a day I haven't slept more that 2 or 3 hours a day (naps included) in weeks. Well I finally fell asleep at 6 this morning after watching hours of debates and political pundits on CNN. I actually got 5 hours of sleep! Since then I have spent hours staring at the snow and reading blogs. Now I'm thinking about knitting. I think that the insomnia has drained my will to work. So I guess I'll have to find that will in the bottom of a coffee cup!

Today I am going to find some time to catch up my work journal and look at least one prospectus/chapter. I think that I am going to go for the one with the 20 attached to it. Since a couple of folks emailed me to let me know that they were attaching bribes to their work I'm going to be looking for those. ;-P I really like having the work journal, but I have fallen a bit behind lately. Now I can catch up on that so that I know what work I've been doing.

Hopefully this update will keep Pepper from deleting me from his RSS feed as threatened to do in class yesterday. I haven't been blogging a lot, but I have been bookmarking lots of things that I want to blog about...that has to count for something, right? Damn maybe we're back to that road to hell, eh?

You know that I am really interested in the Wii hardware and I really want to play around with it's use in work/education contexts, but I found the notion of a Wii whiteboard a cheap and practical option. As I get ready to do a presentation on Web 2.0 I've been thinking about Twitter a lot...ok, the fact that I am Twitter junkie has me thinking about Twitter a lot. That being said if I can think of a pedagogically sound reason to use Twitter in the classroom I can feel accomplished.
