I am very interested in this topic as well. I attended the Museums and Mobile virtual conference two weeks ago (very worthwhile!) and came away with a few preliminary thoughts:
1. We don’t need another app for […]

I am not a camper this year but would like to submit my recent blog post, “How to Read a Book in One Hour” to the volume. I would be glad to expand it somewhat: […]

Is this where we beg for invites? Because if so let the record show that I am begging.

Amen! It wouldn’t be right for a state-sponsored institution to use student labor to create content for a proprietary device.

I wonder if Google isn’t working on a virtual map of Middle Earth?

A renewed emphasis on geography is an unanticipated consequence of the digital turn. Making even a simple map was a huge pain in the ass even a […]

Friends: I absolutely agree that an across-the-curriculum approach to digital humanities is needed. Unfortunately this is the hardest to implement, because you need a buy-in from a majority of your department. I […]

And of course Jefferson’s letters are scattered in archives around the world, some online, some not. We need tools to enable the letters in your collection to talk to those at the Massachusetts and Missouri […]

Great conversation–I am getting excited to meet all of you in person.

I agree absolutely that we should not be doing Web 2.0 stuff for its own sake. There is too much of that–witness the National Archives […]

It looks like Gravatar only accepts lower case letters in the user names (oh the humanity!) and my username here uses some upper case letters. I wonder if that will interfere with my photo appearing?

In my experience most of the “drama” in the seminar room consists of the professor calling on That Guy Who Never Does the Reading. I am not sure how important it is to transfer this to the digital environment!
