The ProfHacker (Half-) Week in Review

Last week’s holiday meant a light posting schedule.  Fear not, however: ProfHacker returns at full speed Monday morning.  At full speed–just like a bird hitting a window.  (Sorry: I’m always a bit gloomy during the semester’s penultimate week.)  Last week’s posts included:

• Nels’s look at grooming: “Growing a Beard for Productivity“  (Also see: Whiskerino 2009)
• Billie’s overview of “The Challenges of Being a New Faculty Member (First Semester)”
• Amy’s reminder that Google is here to help: “Lost a Paper You Wrote? Gmail to the Rescue!“
• Julie’s suggestion that if you’re “Considering Open Office? You Should.”
• In standing posts, Billie offered strategies for leftover turkey, and I pointed to a new Twitter-curated journal, Digital Humanities Now.

The semester’s almost over, probably, so let’s be safe out there!
