Haven’t listened to it yet b/c I’m @ #gwdh13 http://radioboston.wbur.org/2013/01/25/social my interview w/@radioboston @wbur abt my research & #twogirlsandapuppy
.@kfitz’s new post “If You Can't Say Anything Nice” has me thinking abt my tweets @ conferences-including today http://wp.me/p2w8Sh-CU #gwdh13
.@jeffreyjcohen denounces “kids these days” dismissals of grad students & junior faculty-instead praises their verve #gwdh13
Seriously, @jeffreyjcohen’s praise of the intellectual nimbleness & enthusiasm of junior scholars shows why his course inspired me #gwdh13
Man, I remember that undergrad medieval lit class when @jeffreyjcohen wore his belt festooned w/the scalps of his academic nemeses #gwdh13
.@jeffreyjcohen will be projecting his twitter stream on the large screen behind him during his talk-says feel free to tweet-bomb #gwdh13
The digital doesn’t replace the physical (whether text or artifact or conversation)-The digital allows different kinds of engagement #gwdh13
Need shirts with this motto RT @wynkenhimself: #gwdh13 Your data should SUCK: sustainable, useful, cheap, knowable. Thank you, @WillNoel.
Do you know about this @georgeonline? RT @jeffreyjcohen: http://dsdj.gallaudet.edu only peer reviewed ASL journal #gwdh13
Ha! Thought I was about to start at #gwdh13 when the second half of the third talk started. Sigh.
@jeffreyjcohen @wynkenhimself we started late & then presentations went over time. #gwdh13
At this rate, I’ll have approximately 5 minutes to talk about both @ProfHacker & @DHCommons-Should warm up my auctioneer’s voice #gwdh13
@JanelleJenstad #ucladh institute discussed “reverse georectification”-would align historical & modern maps by distorting the latter #gwdh13
@ETreharne @wynkenhimself @mkirschenbaum hm-certainly a strong line drawn b/w books as physical-human-embodied & the digital as not #gwdh13
@periphrast ah, I see. Seems odd to talk DH in DC w/o @UMD_MITH @chnm or @NEH_ODH -but I know they’re in high demand. #gwdh13
Suddenly realizing how odd it is that none of the speakers at #gwdh13 come from @UMD_MITH -it’s just up the road/metro line!
Not sure how future #DH conferences will match this. You hear that, #dh2013 organizers? _Dancers_ in _underwear_ with _pillows_! #gwdh13
@nonsanzmustarde did we? It’s all so hazy…. #gwdh13
Is this the 1st conference I’ve been to featuring dancers in underwear w/pillows? Probably. Unless I’m misremembering #mla11 #gwdh13
The video is a “real” version of the dancer-the dancer actually performed that recorded dance-both physical & digital are _human_ #gwdh13
Discussion of dance in #gwdh13 speaks to earlier conversation-dancer can dance “with” a digital video of herself-different forms of her body
- because if code isn’t a mysterious hieroglyph then “computers” won’t seem like alien or inhuman objects-we’ll see the fingerprints #gwdh13
Discussion of knowing-“you know what this podium is”-reminds me of why humanities students should read code (@ least a little) + #gwdh13
Which is to say-computers (& indeed computer programs) are human products as much as books-neither is “more human” than the other #gwdh13
Is the book an extension of the body but the computer not? The caress of handwriting precedes the caress of fingers on the keyboard #gwdh13
@jeffreyjcohen a colleague in my row kept a running tally of all the constituencies likely to be offended by that talk. #gwdh13
Finding this discussion of online learning an odd introduction to #gwdh13 -not sure this resonates w/DH crowd the way the presenter assumes
The stage at #gwdh13 reminds me of a TED talk stage. Must revise talk to include several “it turns out…” moments.
Excited to be headed toward my undergrad alma mater, GWU, to present at their Digital Humanities Symposium http://www.gwu.edu/~acyhuang/DH2013.shtml #gwdh13
