back to work and digging through email; but i had many a few presents awaiting me, including @rdlankes' The Atlas of New Librarianship!! 🙂 #
one of the hardest parts about returning from vacation is dealing with email. i will conquer you! #
@reverend_andy if only that were possible 🙂 in reply to reverend_andy #
@reverend_andy although i am doing a lot of selecting and hitting a to archive (use gmail at work) in reply to reverend_andy #
why do librarians love acronyms so much when we can't even remember what they mean? #
@Jessican_DC no eating a salad without a utensil is an achievement worth posting about! in reply to Jessican_DC #
i learned a thing or two over the past week, but a big kick in the pants is the reminder of what all can be said in lyrics of certain songs #
including songs that make you want to throw the disc out the window of a car (but you can't do that with digital music!) #
it's national library week this week http://t.co/w22tIgj How has a library impacted your life? #nlw11 #
@JanieH thx for all the advice. I went to one in okc last Friday. Simply wow. in reply to JanieH #
@JanieH seriously??? Oh. Boy. Off to investigate. Must go look into this. in reply to JanieH #
@TEDx thx for the info; i attended @TEDxOKC last week & am considering options for my libs; knew @janieh had organized one at her library in reply to TEDx #

Tonights to do list. Some of these are more impt than others 🙂 thankful for the study space in @SignsofLifeKS http://twitpic.com/4ki9vf #
@librarianbyday did you stay nervous?? in reply to librarianbyday #
@librarianbyday 🙂 Sarah Kay (who emceed #TEDxOKC says in her TED video that she gets nervous every performance http://bit.ly/g37DEw in reply to librarianbyday #
@librarianbyday it's bc it's the topic you're so passionate abt and you want everyone to get it too. Which is awesome. in reply to librarianbyday #
@strnglibrarian @librarianbyday he said it more eloquently 🙂 much better quote and point! in reply to strnglibrarian #
@strnglibrarian good luck! in reply to strnglibrarian #
@strnglibrarian you are inspiring me w the painting & dancing tweets to pick up my flute again. Life wo arts expression of some form is dull in reply to strnglibrarian #
What is learning? Grasping a concept? Memorizing a fact? Taking notes in a lecture to pass a test? Where does it happen? A room? A building? #
Or does it happen in conversation. In reading. In writing. In discussions. In art. In coffee shops. On the streets. In the park. In gaming. #
If my tweets seem a bit wacky or theoretical the next few days, it's from thinking out loud while reading the atlas of new librarianship #
And attending a TED event plus reading this book means even more thinking going on. 🙂 being inspired about your profession's future is good #
Gregorian chant. Live piano music. Pop music. Yep at @SignsofLifeKS tonight 🙂 #
@ashuping they'll get things clawed, err, straightened up. Sorry it's been a rough week 🙁 cats definitely make things more bearable in reply to ashuping #

@activelearning you are going to be blown away. I'm 27 pages in. I can't wait for all the conversations around it to begin. in reply to activelearning #
@pollyalida it's only as good as all the programs that came before us 🙂 and all our fabulous collaborators and mentors who worked together in reply to pollyalida #
@activelearning i feel weird hauling it around but it's big in a good way; i wish there was a digital copy of it available in reply to activelearning #
@activelearning yes; the ultimate map is a pull-out poster (i get to figure out how to circulate the book with that) in reply to activelearning #
@activelearning I think so. Heres what it looks like open w some Sticky notes on it; dont have ruler to measure it http://twitpic.com/4kkxq8 in reply to activelearning #
Not ready for spring storms RT @WIBWJeremy: severe storms still look likely on thurs. noon to 11pm is a critical window for dangerous storms #

TEDxOKC: the pre-post

I’ve had many people ask about my TEDxOKC experience and for my notes. They’re coming, eventually — they exist, believe me, in 20+ pages existence. I’m still processing everything from that incredible day. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a TEDx event, do whatever it takes to go.

Until I decide to finalize and publish my notes, here’s some links around the web from things from TEDxOKC:
