Ever get frustrated about why Twitter removes the copied links in tweets you’re trying to retweet?
Watch the video above for two fixes / ways / hacks.
Question for anyone at Twitter HQ: why do you force us to do this or what’s the reasoning behind removing the links from copied tweets?
Caesar Newashish, a 67-year-old Attikamek of the Manawan Reserve north of Montreal, uses only birchbark, cedar splints, spruce roots and gum. Building a canoe solely from the materials that the forest provides may become a lost art, even among the Native peoples whose traditional craft it is. The film is without commentary but text frames appear on the screen in Cree, French and English.
“We went to the moon and we discovered the earth.”
A great video for the Penny 4 NASA crowd-funding project.
Click the ‘share’ button under any YouTube video and you’ll get these options.
It’s not until you click ‘more’ that the opportunity to post to much more popular social sites like Twitter, tumblr, Blogger etc. appear.
So why does Bebo get the nod before these other sites?
But kicking ass on the minority:
Fifty years, twenty two projects and we’ve failed to get permission for thirty seven projects.
A lesson there maybe…
For without the back story and insight into the whole 10-year exercise, the outcome would lose it’s importance.
Here’s where to buy the $35 version of the wonderful piece of art (as the deluxe copies shown in the video is from an edition of 26 is $4600, but there is also the regular run of 100 books (doesn’t have fingertabs) in $3200 binding, $2600, and $1800).
Wonderous.
I got a ‘friend request’ from gentlemen whom I met briefly at a conference. My approach to Facebook is to use it as a place to cultivate relationships:
*moving to the other side of the planet makes this platform a lot more important medium than normal.
I explained my reasoning to said guy of how I use this platform as a more personal network and also gave him links to this blog plus my Twitter as alternative ways of connecting.
Was interested to receive his take on how he thought “false psychology to disconnect the personal from the professional” and how it was a very old way of thinking.
For me, it’s not about privacy but more about intimacy.
Just as the media landscape continues to evolve so does our use of the many platforms available to us. People forget we can decide how we use them. We can define its uses.
How do you decide to use your social spaces? Do you? Is this thing on…?
School Scrabble is a big thing in the USA.
You can buy specially designed starter kits to start your school clubs:
The kit contains 6 boards, 6 sets of tiles, 6 tile bags, 12 racks and as a bonus The Official SCRABBLE Players Dictionary, Fourth Edition.
Great idea, superbly presented.
I hated art history in school (even though art was the only subject in which I excelled in some small way).
Most of it was taught through text with a few pictures thrown in accompanied by the ramblings of a bored art teacher who was trying his best to make it all come alive.
It didn’t work.
Since we now have the technology, get a kick ass icon with a voice of gravel weave a sweet narrative over some impressive visuals. Let it sink in. Then discuss.
Job done.
Well it left me wanting to know more about John Baldessari.
