Gosh, you would have loved our last THATCampVA! http://virginia2010.thatcamp.org/12/16/join-dzian-for-a-night-of-nakashi-dance-overload-on-saturday/

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, Digital Versions of Life Narrative, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2012 right now

There are some interesting resonances here with the Quantified Self movement, which I mention in my proposal. A combined session might be fun.

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a new post, three thoughts, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2012 right now

I have three ideas for sessions this year — and will also be keeping one eye on this guy:

Pinterest Wunderkammer: For years, I’ve fantasized about creating the perfect interface for a digital humanities <a […]

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, THATCamp for Kids, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2012 right now

Vic and I will be at Boylan Heights for dinner around 6, and it would be great to see other families there! (We’re not sure how many kids will make it on Saturday, but hope to see them proposing their own sessions […]

More on Minecraft here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft

My husband, who is a middle school teacher, uses it in a variety of ways in the classroom — and Vic and his friends have made a pretty wildly […]

If this session goes forward, I hope you’ll share your notes!

You might also like to know about the new FairCite initiative, which hopes to work on these issues and is now in an information-gathering phase. If all goes well — and if we can get enough community input! — we […]

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a new post, A kid-friendly THATCamp!, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2012 right now

Let’s admit it: we love THATCamps because they make us kids again. They’re like perfect sandboxes and brand-new Crayons and the first day of school combined. We get to make new friends, invite them to play with […]

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, Intersections of the Digital and the Material, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2010 right now

Nate, this is just a quick line to say that I *love* this concept and I’m absolutely in for any THATCamp discussion that might emerge around it. A couple of summers ago, some of us got together to start a reading […]

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a new post, an R&D agenda for embodied interaction in DH?, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2010 right now

I suppose I’m a tactile tinkerer. When I have time for it, I tinker a bit with wearable computing — also called “soft circuits,” “embodied interaction,” or — arguably — augmented reality. This is the (often […]

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a new post, Getting set…, on the site THATCamp Virginia 2010 right now

Just a quick update to say: look at our lovely new site! Many thanks to Regional THATCamp coordinator Amanda French and CHNM‘s Creative Lead, Jeremy Boggs, for the work they are doing on a “THATCamp-in-a-box” […]

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, Analogizing the Sciences, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

I’ve been noticing some related conversation happening over the past two days at the MIT humanities visualization conference. Hashtag #hdigital.

PS: while I’m trying to thread a needle, you can load me down with suggestions as per http://thatcamp.org/2010/what-have-you-done-for-us-lately/

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a new post, soft circuits, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

Hey, nerds. I’m going to bring some leftover supplies from Hacking Wearables and E-Textiles, the soft-circuits workshop that Bill Turkel and I recently hosted at Great Lakes THATCamp. Participants combined […]

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, what have you done for us lately?, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

Kathleen’s message reminded me of the program committee of the annual Digital Humanities (DH) conference, so I’ve updated this post to add that.

And so far, my ploy is working. We’ll have lots of walking […]

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, HTML5, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

+1. That’s a healthy ratio of hack to yak.

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, Geolocation, Archives, and Emulators (not all at once), on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

Mark, I’d love to hear more about that second concept: “the tension between (1) digital preservation as a social act and (2) erasure, fallibility, and unreliability as a creative or political act.” It would be […]

Bethany Nowviskie commented on the post, Project "Develop Self-Paced Open Access DH Curriculum for Mid-Career Scholars Otherwise Untrained", on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

I’m in! As a matter of fact, there’s universal enthusiasm for the idea around the Scholars’ Lab. And I think it could be a partial answer to my question about useful activities/sponsorships/whatever by professional societies.

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a new post, what have you done for us lately?, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

Okay, professional societies, large and small — what have you done for us lately? Are you ready to do more of what the digital humanities crowd needs? Less of what we don’t? (And, um, what is that, […]
