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

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

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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, […]

Hey, Karin — there might be some commonalities between what you’re proposing and what Ronda Grizzle of the Scholars’ Lab would like to discuss. (I think she’ll be posting about her session later today or […]
