I'm studying Information and Library Studies at Curtin but poetry is my real schtick --- maybe. I saw grief explode the other day into a flock of rosellas.

@tisinfobec @JorgiaTIS @CanaanTIS142 I just caught your email about Google+. I sent you an email. With practice it should be easy. #tis142

City Haiku:

In your eyes I glimpsed
Whirlwinds. We left the city,
Sauntered to a beach. #tis142

Peak-hour Haiku:

Buildings needle sky --
Car fumes mingle with coffee.
He stops, drinks in clouds. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@tisinfobec @JorgiaTIS @CanaanTIS142 Jorgia is, but I don't know about Canaan yet. Just tweeted him about it. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@CanaanTIS142 Hi there Canaan. We're in the Assignment 3 team together. Are you in Perth? #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@StephTIS142 @WSJ Paper, its touch and smell, give the reader a sensory experience that e-books cannot. #tis142

Peak-hour Haiku:

Buildings needle sky --
Car fumes mingle with coffee --
He stops, drinks in clouds.

@tisinfobec Hi Rebecca. Your friendly team-member for Assignment 3 touching base. Should we catch up with Jorgia and Canaan soon? #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@ALIANational @AlexTIS142 This library's design reminds me why teachers sometimes rearrange classroom desks in random patterns. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

Haiku:

Gum-tree leaves resist
Tumult of rain. After wind
Wagtail ruffles coat.

For once no mention of a library. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@tis142Ben I had the same problem. Try clicking on 'All' at the top of the stream. Tweets seem to take a little while to appear. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@LarnieTIS142 The guy who stores the books and drives them to Hyde Park is leaving Australia. There's no-one to replace him so far. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@LarnieTIS142 The RAD Library has been going 4years but may finish soon. If it does the collective will document its brief history. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

Library haiku:

Glance above a book
To meet others' eyes. Then dive
Again into words. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

A librarian friend told me: "Librarians are a dying breed". Pessimism or realism? #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@jacktis142 All my documents are now safely stored onto the cloud via Word 8 on my laptop, and accessible. They took ages to upload. #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@LarnieTIS142 The free RAD Library is in Hyde Park Perth every Sunday 1 to 5pm. Either between the lakes or in the shelter in winter #tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

#tis142 Correction to tweet about DuckDuckGo: It "could be recommended to library users" (etc.)

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@michelletis142 It could be more to do with cost-saving methods of delivering university classes. Doesn't the dollar rule education?#tis142

[Colin Young @cometaryorbit14]

@JorgiaTIS Not a good prognosis, but at least we now know that technology is no substitute for real faces and voices: they convey emotions.
