Why 'To Be Honest' Makes You Sound Like You're Lying - 1 views

  •  
    A friend of mine recently started a conversation with these words: "Don't take this the wrong way..." I wish I could tell you what she said next. But I wasn't listening-my brain had stalled. I was bracing for the sentence that would follow that phrase, which experience has taught me probably wouldn't be good.

    I wanted to share this great documentary with everyone. I watched it right before deciding to apply for the EMAC program and I honestly credit it with helping me make my decision to apply. I hope everyone can find something to take away from it.

    Here is another great video series that I recently saw. It's a little older now but super relevant for our class and program.

    I love this. It makes me think about Cassini's class and how we talked about this there. Skeuomorphism is an interesting tool, and was a smart way to introduce the iPhone to the general public, it was easy to understand how to use it because of Skeuomorphism.

silver in sf: the difference between thin and thick tweets - 2 views

  •  
    Who knew there was a format to tweet! I like the thick tweets, they give more information. It truly takes skill to give that much info in 140 characters. I think more people need to try to tweet like this. I've seen more of the thin tweets in my Twitter universe of friends and family. Thick is in for me...now to do it right!

Bexar County\'s Library on a Cloud - 0 views

  •  
    BiblioTech, one of the country's first all-digital public libraries, aims to reach more readers by hosting their entire collection on the cloud. Patrons may choose from 18,000 digital titles and can check out Kindles, too. I wonder if this is what all libraries will start to look like. I also love that they have an "iPad Bar" haha

You can't walk straight while texting, study confirms - 1 views

  •  
    Texting can make you drive like a drunk. Now a new study shows that texting can also make you walk like a robot. Researchers found that healthy people who read or send texts while hoofing it show subtle but potentially hazardous changes to their gait.

    I know I have tripped walking up and down stairs while trying to text. There was a story a few years about a girl who was walking and texting at the same time and she wan't paying attention and fell into a pothole. She ended up suing the city for not having the pothole covered and she won!
  •  
    It seems silly, but I wager that had she been distracted by looking through her bag or some other reason, we would be more sympathetic. My guess would be that the reason of the distraction didn't make the city any less negligent.

    Here's an app that allows people to view their path ahead while on their phones. It activates your camera and allows you too see both your screen and the ground. The iPhone version only lets you text and tweet while the android app works for any app in universal mode. People would probably still walk like robots, but maybe they wouldn't trip or step on anything. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.walktext&hl=en https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/type-n-walk/id331043123?mt=8

It is its own society within Twitter, replete with inside jokes, slang and rules, centered on the interests of young blacks online - almost a quarter of all black Internet users are on Twitter.
