In an attempt to use at least some of my time better, I have been experimenting with audible books in the car to and from work. I thought I would begin with something light, so I am listening to Lady Antonia Fraser's memoir of her life with PInter -- it is laced with such words. "Another fam hol!" "Her dress was utterly rav!"<br /><br />But I think the concept is outstanding, typo or no.Tenured Radicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703980598547163290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-54870520379531845612010-09-03T02:08:17.479-05:002010-09-03T02:08:17.479-05:00And yes, that would be Naked, not Nakes!And yes, that would be Naked, not Nakes!anthony graftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588520143876853373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-10225048517899709132010-09-03T02:07:51.571-05:002010-09-03T02:07:51.571-05:00Great post.

Hearing that faculty are susceptible to the temptation of Facebook too makes me feel a little less as if finding oneself constantly fighting that temptation in classes or meetings is a horrible stain on one's academic character. It is disconcerting, I think, how strong and unwavering the temptation to keep looking up strangers online during class/meetings can be. I've switched to taking notes longhand because I know that after the first time I tell myself it's okay to look at the web browser for just a few seconds during a class, I'll never be able to stop. <br /><br />I have to confess [creepy alert]--you've turned up in my "People You May Know." I suppose that makes you as Famous and Important as Armistead Maupin and Amy Tan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-67861831349743034662010-09-02T17:14:22.442-05:002010-09-02T17:14:22.442-05:00I hate Facebook with the fire of a thousand suns! ...I hate Facebook with the fire of a thousand suns! And yet I am on it. I'm doing more on it now than ever (which isn't saying very much at all) but it makes me feel like a commodity.
