I think if there is to be another so-called broader vision of ‘computers in the humanities’ at this stage of development,there needs to be much more work done in terms of ‘research into research’ (ie. especially into humanities research practices). The practical and urgent problems of science require lots of talented people to address them; [...]
In this edition of the podcast, Dan, Amanda, Tom, and Mills are joined by Tim Carmody, senior writer for Wired, and it was very refreshing to record what we called a “fact-based” podcast for a change. At the top of the show, we got Tim’s take on the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice [...]

So, I admit, I committed a crime in social media circles. I created some content that I thought a few people may be interested in, posted it, then promptly went on leave for four weeks and didn’t follow up here. Sorry. Real life cant be helped though (…

I have been having many conversations with people of late around the boundaries of ‘eResearch’ and ‘Digital Humanities’.

How does the New York Times Graphics Department produce the fantastic work that wins so many awards? To get a taste of the secret sauce, all you need to do is track down their Twitter accounts and blogs, where they openly share sketches and talk about process. Here is a guide.
This list is roughly ordered by the amount of material each of the people listed below shares. While a few of them have blogs that link to their pieces on the New York Times website (which is pretty useful in itself, because they can be hard to find), I am more interested in the behind-the-scenes type of blog. I am listing people’s roles as far as I am aware of them, though I don’t know them all and I may be getting some of them wrong. Please let me know in the comments or via Twitter and I’ll fix things.
I have put together a a twitter list of New York Times Graphics Editors for easier following. Some of the accounts are fairly active, others (like Amanda Cox) are rather silent. Twitter is a great tool for finding people and getting a sense of what they are up to. Those who tweet also tend to respond to tweets mentioning them, so this is a good way of getting in touch, as well.

Following on from my earlier posts on the editing structure of slasher films, this week I have a draft of a paper that combines my early observations (much re-written) along with an analysis of the relationship between editing and the narrative structure of Friday the Thirteenth (1980) Exploratory data analysis and film form: The editing [...]
It’s nearing that time of year when medievalists leave their dusty garrets and, armed only with a laptop and a London AtoZ, make their annual summer pilgrimage to the British Library. Should you be considering coming, here are some handy tips to make the most of your trip to London. 1. It’s always worthwhile to check in advance if the items you wish to consult will be available. At any given time, some of our manuscripts may be on display in our Sir John Ritblat Gallery: Treasures of the British Library, and others will be in the temporary exhibition Writing…
