  • 10:02 @sleers NICE. #
  • 10:04 Who has two thumbs, got 9 hours of sleep last night and thus a brand new attitude? THIS GAL RIGHT HERE. #
  • 11:52 Anyone who thinks Nebraska is boring to drive through has obviously never been to Kansas. #
  • 13:21 RT @sglassme: Dear Kansas, if you plan on closing a rest stop could you let people know before they pass the last toilet for 50 miles? #
  • 14:07 Kansas is hot, windy and uninhabited. #
  • 16:09 Still in Kansas. I keep scanning horizon for twisters and mushroom clouds. #
  • 16:32 Topeka heat index is 111. If I have to be that hot, they best let me carry a daquiri around. #
  • 16:38 @montserratlj I also realized I forgot to get someone to het a pic of us together presenting. Not sure if it got recorded by AALL or not. #
  • 16:41 @montserratlj no, she's an inch taller. I'm the shortest person in the family except the kids, and Mr 9 will lap me in a year or so. #
  • 17:07 Susan is making me listen to NPR. :( #
  • 17:35 @miss_eli local, I think. It all sounds the same to me. #
  • 17:48 @miss_eli it's my sister and we're in a car in the middle of Kansas. I'll give it 15 min and then start punching her until she changes it #
  • 18:33 I'm at Arthur Bryant's Barbeque (1727 Brooklyn Ave, 17th and Brooklyn, Kansas City). 4sq.com/8SQFdr #
  • 20:08 @jimmilles yes! Really spicy, though. #
  • 20:34 The Glassmeyer Crazy has kicked in and @sglassme and I have decided to drive straight through to Valpo tonight. w00t! #

  • 11:27 The vendors on this panel keep promising to fight. There better be bloodshed if they're gonna bring it. #aall2010 #gobigorgohome #
  • 11:38 @jbnann Theyre like @aallbluebear ! #
  • 11:55 Agree with @shaunjamison re: similarities to political debate @ejwalters is like a less crazy, non-chicken foot waving R. Perot. #aall2010 #

  • 12:04 Secondary sources: the fluffy kittens of legal research that everyone loves. #aall2010 #
  • 12:13 Tough love from @glambert time... #aall2010 #
  • 12:16 @jriversmn Chiding presenters for giving sales pitches instead of discussing UI and purposes of preso. #
  • 12:28 @glambert Vendor affirms affection for Secondary Sources? Do a shot. #
  • 13:12 In the tech services faculty IR preso. Giving me lots to think about. #aall2010 #
  • 16:14 In Durham Statement One year Later session. #aall2010 #
  • 16:36 @rleiter Interesting. Right now Margaret Leary from UM is listing reasons why she is anti-DS. e.g. electricity infrastructure not ready. #
  • 16:43 People are down on ppt, but as someone with difficulties with aural info, I would appreciate ppts to assist understanding presos. #aall2010 #
  • 16:46 "PDF is punting ...really just a print format that is electronic." Better ways to do digital. #aall2010 #
  • 16:47 @jimmilles Um...yes. *cough* #
  • 16:56 @jimmilles I'm on AMPC and forbidden from proposing, but I will provide moral support for her to do it! #

  • 17:06 @aabibliographer Thanks! #
  • 17:15 Yes! @aabibliographer says that librarians need to work to make OA journals more accessible. -> cited more -> more credible. #aall2010 #
  • 17:16 @jimmilles Once a cool kid, always a cool kid! It's just that @rleiter has taken over role as faculty advisor. #
  • 17:59 @rleiter That was mentioned too. No, I'm pretty sure she meant electricity. Um, yeah...so that happened. #
  • 18:58 GLASSMEYER OUT. #aall2010 #
  • 21:33 I am in Kansas. I get to see @Roycekitts tomorrow. I will get more than 4 hours of sleep tonight. Two of the three make me giddy. #

  • 16:02 @mak506 I can't even come up with a single public response that won't get me into trouble. #
