…

samjshah watching ep 1 of the bachelorette (don’t ask – nothing on hulu). ew – a guy gave her the look up-down when first meeting her. OUT.

k8nowak @samjshah Is this a version of the bachelorette for 9th graders going out for cheerleading? Gross.

…

jybuell I’m going to spend the next hour looking thru @samjshah‘s book shelf. Maybe more

…

Caterina OH I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. I don’t want to start any trouble, but shouldn’t that be an even number?

…

JackieB Thinking about all of the great people I’ve learned from online & those I’ve been fortunate enough to meet. I’m grateful. Thank you all.

JackieB Wondering if I can submit @samjshah‘s FT posts as evidence of my contribution to the mathematical learning community for National Boards.

samjshah @JackieB The answer is yes.

JackieB @samjshah Thanks. The verification form will be waiting outside your door in the morning. With a bagel and coffee.

k8nowak Got an email from a woman who would “love to collaborate” with me because she found my box.net account. From an aol address. #whatthehell

…

thescamdog Colleague: I’m going to NYC next week. Me: You should look up my internet friend @samjshah and talk math. Colleague: You’re such a nerd.

…

k8nowak NYSED really testing the limits of my professional discourse https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0Bz4S-NJpJht7ZTYyZjc0NGYtMzJmNy00NjRiLWIwN2QtMDNkMjVhZjFhM2M5&hl=en

dcox21 @k8nowak It’s alright. Cheer up! http://yfrog.com/75rmtz

jybuell This banner ad says “meet other sexy nerds.” I am only one of those things. I will leave it up to the reader to decide which one.

k8nowak @dcox21 I predict a shortage of floorspace in your future. Amazed at boys’ ability to occupy space. http://yfrog.com/7fj8tj

…

park_star I think it says a lot about how the end of my year went that I am currently hiding in my classroom with the lights off.

…

misscalcul8 @jreulbach Yes, it was my first year and classroom management is definitely my stumbling block.

jreulbach @misscalcul8 anyone who says its not the first year is a liar! : )

…

dcox21 @JackieB I’m teaching them all to be straight playaz!

dcox21 @cannonsr @jackieb Actually going to have shirts made that say, “God has assigned as a duty of every man the dignity of every woman.”

…

jreulbach My kids. Are taking turns. Tormenting me.

…

jybuell @druinok @jreulbach preach it both of u. My success:failure rate is depressing. I just keep at it like Jessica alba keeps making movies

…

CardsChic My dad just told me to put on painting clothes. Yeah, because I totally thought to pack those to come here. Vacation OVER.

…

dcox21 @k8nowak @samjshah @msgregson Yeah, I like the mystery. Still trying to crack the code for S.S., K.N. and J.B. Little help? Anyone?

dcox21 @jybuell @k8nowak @samjshah @msgregson Hey, so who do I send my 8 pictures to, again?

msgregson @dcox21 it’s in @samjshah‘s blog post … they made a special email address

dcox21 @msgregson I was just messin’

…

busynessgirl Just rescued a cute little turtle from the middle of the road. :)

…

jybuell @samjshah Yeah. I noticed some people don’t put their blog in their twitter profile or post their twitter name on their blog (cont)

jybuell @samjshah IDK if some people want to keep those two lives separate.

dcox21 @jybuell @samjshah I use a pseudonym. My real name is Samuel James Shaw, but I thought that’d be confusing.

samjshah @dcox21 SHUT UP and GET OUT. my real name is Dan Coxeter and I was born in 1989.

…

jybuell To my youngest daughter: Please learn how to talk soon so you can tell me where you hid my driver’s license. Thank you.

jybuell For those scoring at home, license not found. Clara 1, Daddy 0

dcox21 Wife & the boys off to see Toy Story 3. Baby and I are hanging out. Well, I’m hanging out; he’s mostly doing this: http://yfrog.com/jntj6uj

samjshah@dcox21 buy him an iphone and he’ll stop doing that and start doing something productive. like tweeting.

samjshah @dcox21 welcome to twitter. 245fjdafgksdjbdksafgkl3j4qEELFSAKFjkjkdlgq3 asfaslds to you too.

…

samjshah i don’t know what this might mean, but i was thinking of the 11th hour (children’s book) and thought that coming up with a semester long…

samjshah … mystery hunt… where there is some online component and some “in the school” component. class has to band together to find clues&solve.

samjshah just capitalizing on a mystery with clues that lead to clues… external motivation. and maybe fun to create?

samjshah clearly just the very beginnings of an idea. i’ve thought of doing an all online one before, but that’s less interesting.

…

samjshah @dcox21 i don’t really know what an alternate reality game is.

samjshah @dcox21 and i don’t want to google it.

samjshah @dcox21 that’s me being pre-emptive. :)

dcox21 @samjshah http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Alternate+reality+game http://yfrog.com/4chlhz

dcox21 @samjshah My phone slowed me down, dangit!

CardsChic @samjshah @dcox21 I take every opportunity to click on that link. Every. Single. One.

samjshah @CardsChic will you click on http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game?wasRedirected=true and tell me if it is spiderfree? i don’t trust Samuel James Shaw (aka @dcox21)

dcox21 @samjshah @cardschic It’s spider free for crying out loud!

samjshah @dcox21 @cardschic i’m not going to click until i get 3rd party verification. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice…

dcox21 @samjshah @cardschic It’s a stinkin’ wikipedia link re: ARG’s. Look, I forgive you for not going to lunch, already. Sheesh.

samjshah @dcox21 wikipedia. didn’t i tell you i have a crippling fear of free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia projects. GREAT.

@dcox21 no worries. this song sums up my feelings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-tOsM6F4Y

dcox21 @samjshah This sums up mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aPJYrFLStg&feature=youtube_gdata

dansmath @samjshah and by MSG you mean salty and gives you a headache?

…

jreulbach I’ve been married 17 years today. #hardtobelieve

dcox21 @jreulbach GET OUT! It’s 17 years today for us too! Happy anniversary.

approx_normal @jreulbach and @dcox21 have BOTH been married 17 years TODAY. Wow!! Is this like the birthday probability thing??

dcox21 @jreulbach @fouss I had joked with @calcdave about us being the same guy a few months ago then he hits me with the same wedding date too.

samjshah maybe @dcox21 and @jreulbach are married to each other! I SOLVED THE MYSTERY! and the butler w/the candlestick in the conservatory.

JackieB @jreulbach @dcox21 @calcdave Happy Anniversaries! (strangely @PersidaB and I have the same anniversary too).

dcox21 And to top it off, I just received a text that my godson’s wife just had their second child this morning.

…

jybuell @approx_normal @dcox21 @druinok mainly so I can look back and laugh at myself

dcox21 @jybuell @approx_normal @druinok Funny. That’s the same reason I read your blog. http://yfrog.com/50r4qz http://yfrog.com/i3rp7z

…

dcox21 @samjshah Have two to choose from. http://yfrog.com/87g4vz

samjshah @dcox21 dear 5th: ilfwj 4 asdfl 0r1 wq aklsfdjsalfjdsofjqom ccajsdflkr1 fkldsjgf0 a;lllll4llfa

dcox21 @samjshah Dear Mr. Sam, Dherjdnsnevekqskdjcucucjeneksjcnbgsuidixhxbskeiejfvrlebsncofrjjsj

samjshah @dcox21 your 5th is like funnier than you and @k8nowak combined. wow, i seriously can’t stop laughing, and snot is coming out of my nose.

…

druinok just referred to @samjshah‘s favorite tweets as a way to find a list of math teachers to follow – easier than trying to remember names :)

…

JackieB @paquette6 Welcome! Your kids are adorable. By the way, has your husband informed you of the conference you’re sponsoring in your yard?

paquette6 @JackieB I love our kiddos to. I just heard about the conference. LOL

samjshah @paquette6 i hope you’re going to have enough quinoa to grill for all of us!

…

misscalcul8 Ok so delicious is just ruining my bookmarking experience so….diigo? It seems too messy and clunky for me. Google Bookmarks? Advice?

samjshah @misscalcul8 just have @ThinkThankThunk whip something up to suit your bookmarking specifications. #isthereanythingthatmancantdo?

misscalcul8 @samjshah lol I wonder if he can make one that is brain powered so I don’t even have to click. I could do a little Bewitched nose wiggle…

samjshah @misscalcul8 you probably don’t even need to do the nose wiggle. i mean, if stephen hawking can talk w/a slight cheek twitch…

misscalcul8 @samjshah So nix the nose wiggle. Unless his invention becomes so great they make a movie about it. Then I’ll do it for special effects.

ThinkThankThunk @samjshah I can’t make two people fall in love or resist bacon.

samjshah @ThinkThankThunk you can’t? or you WON’T?

…

approx_normal @samjshah OMG… Spider… crawled… across… my… foot… in… the… shower… My husband is currently replacing the shower door.

samjshah @approx_normal so that’s an example of something you DON’T share with me. #EWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWWWWWWWWEWWWWWWWWWWW #wanttonevershoweragain

misscalcul8 @approx_normal @samjshah And that’s something you don’t share with Twitter, Sam. #wanttonevertweetnexttoyouagain

approx_normal @samjshah I’m sorry-was gonna just say”thought about you in the shower”, but for SOME reason I thought people might take that the wrong way

wmcneary @approx_normal I think you’re hubby would be more concerned about those thoughts than us. ;)

approx_normal @wmcneary he knows I am so naive that I say things wrong. I am the result of most “that’s what she said” remarks with our friends.

jybuell wife”Twitter. I’m used 2 u having no friends”

…

samjshah The Hangover officially gets 105 million stars on the @samjshah rating scale. Legally Blonde got 26 diamonds. Make of that what you will.

dcox21 @samjshah My kids loved that movie.

approx_normal @dcox21 Legally Blonde? Or The Hangover?

dcox21 @approx_normal Oh we don’t allow Reese Witherspoon in our home.

samjshah @dcox21 you better watch out. now that your wife is on twitter, she knows you let your kids watch the hangover. #youreinbigtroublemister

dcox21 @samjshah @approx_normal You know I’m joking. (at least I hope) My 11 year old still likes Sesame Street.

samjshah @dcox21 I thought you were joking… but you forced them to watch the Lady Gaga video 4 times in a row. And wouldn’t answer their questions.

samjshah @dcox21 and also… Like Reese Witherspoon would ever show up at your front door… FIDDLEFART! #hethinkshesmoreimportantthanheis

BuiltOnFacts If you shut your eyes every time you pick something up off the floor, you might be a laser physicist.

…

jybuell @dcox21 @druinok You should see @k8nowak or @samjshah, they’re somehow the first to comment on every math blog on the internet.

jybuell @dcox21 actually, Kate prolly gets it from when people email her for tech support. “Mouse broke. Need help.Hey, btw, I’m starting a blog…”

…

crntaylor A friend suggests we collaborate on an essay about mathematics and poetry, “to ensure we have the smallest possible potential audience.”

…

MitchKeller @sc_k What defeat for #PRK? Dear Leader has caused the rules to be changed so that the lower score wins, as in golf. Glorious victory!

…

park_star @CmonMattTHINK you’ve blogged about some great, actually relevant, things to do with kids & how you think of it :)

CmonMattTHINK @park_star I have? Are you sure? I don’t have a blog… that I know of, anyway! ;-)

park_star @CmonMattTHINK ummmmm, I may have you confused with someone else. But I’m sure you’re also very creative & helpful!

samjshah hahahaha @CmonMattThink @park_star AWKWARD! jk.
