  1. @amandafrench Perfect! Also reminds me of this old, much-loved "The 'Most' of..." exhibit from UVA Special Collections: http://is.gd/4Q9H7
  2. @CynicalPanda I think it must be relatively new. Pretty fantastic, huh? I got a brochure about it in the mail today.
  3. UVA Jefferson grad fellowship: http://bit.ly/4xyhRe $30k annual stipend, $7.5k research funding + tuition & benefits. Whoa.
  4. Digression City, population: me. Can't write my way out! Does this DH argument really need glittering tidbits on the Missouri Compromise?
  5. @TheRepoRat Just miss feeling sneaky & brilliant in the archives, 'stead of satisfied & competent, sitting on my ass in a coffee shop. [2/2]
  6. @TheRepoRat True, although this gen of scholars will probably need to deal w/the long-lost-&-now-more-easily-findable stuff first. [1/2]
  7. 10 yrs ago, the thing I just found via a quick Google book search would have taken 10x as long to discover, but I'd have been over the moon.
  8. I'm grateful & all, but sometimes feel that the thrill of discovery in humanities research has been sucked away by mass digitization.
  9. @geoparadigm But can you tell me how to get, how to get to... [sorry; nevermind].
  10. @pseudonymTrevor a tidbit: 68% of those who've experienced decline feel there's been no evolution in local or larger practices in response
  11. Just noticed inverse relationship in my speed-of-response-to-query and the academic rank of the emailer. Distinct advantage: grad students!
  12. Crunching numbers from our "Graceful Degradation" (DH projects-in-decline) survey. Interesting, if sometimes depressing, findings emerging.
  13. RT @joegilbert: Two new Scholars' Lab talks on iTunes U: 'Game Worlds' & 'Editing Olmsted.' Feed: http://bit.ly/2oG0xg
  14. @ryancordell Fascinating! My takeaway? French babies: especially annoying. (Yours might be: motherhood -- @nowviskie's over it.)
  15. @ryancordell Nah. If you want a fantastic sci-fi Canterbury Tales (plus Keats), read this instead: http://is.gd/4OVve
  16. Lilypad Arduino Circuit Layout Tool http://tinyurl.com/yzr97j3 (via Fashioning Technology)
  17. @footnotesrising Everything. All artifacts (amazing stuff), field reports, print coll, DBs. UVA benefactor David Harrison owned Flowerdew.
  18. Startling, lost Cliff House. Reminds me of steampunk kids' book (Hotel Under the Sand) @briancroxall recommended: http://tinyurl.com/yb93tcj
  19. @edmj Mixed use, at this point. The Flowerdew teaching & research collection is in a huge, elegant 5-bedroom "guesthouse" complete with spa.
  20. @williamjturkel We have been thinking abt NiCHE & abt your work. Lots of conversations feed into SCI planning. Am sure you'll hear more!
