Chronicling Workspaces

Inspired in part by Johndan Johnson-Eilola‘s Datacloud, I started chronicling my workspaces throughout the day on Twitter on Monday morning. After three days, I’ve chronicled a number of places I work, whether it’s reading for comprehensive exams, preparing for class, working in the composition office, or grading papers.

    I’ve been enjoying these tweets, Michael. Text on the left (typically), food, drink, pen on the right!

  2. Michael says:

    Thanks, Travis!

    The pen location is purely coincidence, since I have to set it down to take a picture. And the iPhone would be the pictures, but it’s what I’m using to take the pictures, haha.

    I reLy like this idea. This would be a great use of DAYTUM for simple data tracking and visulation. I would love to see this over the course of a month. Would be really interesting.
