Tweet on TV

This is a fun site while watching the debate, it combines twitter and current TV, a web site still in beta. If you begin your twitter with #current, your “tweets” appear over the video. Pretty neat to watch as well.

Heading Out

I’m leaving for Port/or Lake Charles, Louisiana tomorrow for a mission trip where I believe we’ll be doing hurricane clean up and re-building type things. I won’t be able to get to a computer so I’ve put my Twitter RSS feed over to the right here to give updates on what’s happening. It should be interesting; I went to New Orleans in April 2005 before Katrina and now I’m going to Lake Charles after hurricane Rita. So check it out, the updates should be interesting.

Note: The previous Twitter posts on the feed were from the Online Journalism Symposium at UT and for a class sports blog project.

I was looking for videos of Lake Charles and Hurricane Rita and happened upon this. The Charlie Brown music and upbeat voiceovers made this storm sound like a Sunday picnic coming.

Online Journalism Symposium Online By Journalists. Whew.

So UT’s Online Journalism Symposium is already underway, I think lunch is going on right now so stop by ACES, freeloaders! Anyway, it is being heavily covered by journalism students (and rightly so.) Check out the web site, which also has a link to the blog. I’ve also added my Twitter feed and I’ll be updating during the day about random silly/funny/boring/important things. Notice how I added important last.

There’s so many important journalists at this symposium from around the world, so at least check out the coverage and stop by the second floor of the ACES (computer science building on Speedway and 24th).
