What Else

I meant to write this last night but by the time I got done with school, I was spent. I was at school from 8am until 6pm working on class and homework and reorganizing my references. I spent the last two hours organizing and deleting PDFs from my computer after I'd added them into my Endnote library and when I was done, my head hurt from staring at the computer for so long. I bussed home, had supper and watched some of a couple of movies before almost falling sleep on the couch. After that I spent some time online, watched the season finale of The Bachelor Pad (I know, embarrassing) and then went to bed to "read" a bit. 5 minutes later, at 10:15, I was setting my alarm... and now it's tomorrow!

What else I've been doing (part one)
I recently decided to use Twitter for good, rather than just for pleasure. I spent one "productive" Friday morning searching online for tweeters who often tweeted or retweeted topics that I care about. Among those added to my list, a few have widened my horizon enough to be noteworthy. Those would be:

Danah Boyd (zephoria)
Gender Across Borders (GABblog)
Jessica Sherwood (socwomen)
Chad Gesser (profgesser)
SocProf (SocProf)
and
Nathan Palmer (sociologysource)

I hope to add more in the future, but I've got to ease myself in to this. Adding a lot of people at once on twitter seems to backfire for me: I can't see the trees because I'm too busy staring at the size of the forest.

In addition to finding some great people, I've found some great (in my eyes) websites.
I'm going to update the blogs I follow on the left in a bit, but for now, these are the gems I've uncovered recently:

A great eye opener: Sociological Images
Two great teaching resources: Sociology Source and The Sociological Cinema
Something fun: Extraordinary Observations
Someone with intruiging ideas and a wealth of resources I still need to tap into (just look at all of the links on the side!): The Global Sociology Blog
Interesting...: The Grumpy Sociologist
Who doesn't love charts, graphs, and figures???: Graphic Sociology
A critical look at America's construction: The Infrastructurist
Who doesn't love tips?: Lifehacker
(I need to make a point of coming here more often): Modeled Behavior
And one last site: The Daily Dish

"Tomorrow" I'll tell you what I've been up to when school isn't on my mind. Oh, and let me know if you want a post of interesting articles I've come across lately. I have a plethora of those!
