Reading List
Here is list of books that are near and dear to me. Things I wish everyone else had a chance to read
and love and read again,the way I have and hope to continue to do. All the books on this list have
informed who I am and how I think about the things I love to think about. It will stop growing when
I stop growing. If you read any of these and find yourself in a better place, I'll be very happy. Enjoy.

Custom Twitter stylesheet

Custom Twitter Stylesheet

Craig Mod does a bigger overhaul with Twitter for Minimalists, but this will only do the following:

  • Hides promoted tweets and trends
  • Hides the useless “Expand” link that appears under every tweet
  • Tones down the blue conversation line to a barely-visible gray
  • Hides all numbers

You can add this CSS in Safari with this extension. The URL to target is twitter.com/*.

Social Media Strategy

#Social Media Strategy

##About the Project

This was inspired by the Tiny Content Framework that focuses on “goals, messages, and branding.”

The Social Media Strategy collection is aimed at helping companies get started in planning their approach to social media. This is a bit of a template, and sprinkled with examples in each category. It should be a good starting point before a business dives head-first into whatever fancy social media outlet may be hot at the moment. (Tip: Find out what medium/outlet is best suited for your audiences before blindly signing up for accounts for whatever is the most popular at the moment. We used to think MySpace was going to rule the Earth for a while, until it faded into the background and gave way to Twitter, Facebook and the rest of the photo-sharing ones.)

A style guide for digital scholarship. Comments are in {!-- Curly brackets with comment markings --}

{!-- The style guide is meant to be more than a reference for practical advice, stylistic rules, and examples of good practice. I am also trying to present an argument for the importance of digital scholarship in the form of apps, dissertations, webapps, and blogs. While aimed mostly at writing, I think it will eventually expand to include videos, audio, presentation slides, and such (oh my goodness, academics seriously need help with their slides).

The hard part is finding the right balance of argument and advice. It will presented as a website with its design/layout as an example template. It’s intended to be extremely opinionated, but modular, so others can pick pieces they wish to use as a foundation for their own style guides. (This is sort of a precursor to a modular pattern library for assembling style guides I’ve been wanting to build for content strategy work.)

I haven’t put in many of the citations and annotations, but they’re currently in {curly brackets}. --}
