#3 Digital Humanities Report: Creepy Art Possibilities
The DHWI Art in Odd Places award goes to: Digital Forensics & BitCurator BitCurator is a project that I’m rather excited about, although not wholly for the developers’ original reasons. It’s a set of Linux-based OSS’s which “incorporate the functionality of many digital forensics tools” for the purposes of humanities research and archiving.

#2 Digital Humanities Winter Institute Report Back
Everything I viagra tabs did not take a course on: Data Sets, APIs, Random Links & Intersectionality I’ve been writing about the Digital Humanities Winter Institute, reporting on the Data Curation track here, and weird data archiving here. The DHWI was a faucet of information which I spongily absorbed, learning that I am especially apt… Continue reading #2 Digital Humanities Winter Institute Report Back
#1 Digital Humanities Winter Institute Report-back
I attended the Digital Humanities Winter Institute at UMD’s MITH, [http://mith.umd.edu] this past week, which meant I learned how to be a better researcher and overall nerd.

Free Software Links & Occupying the Internet
I have so much to say about Free Software [like what is the “free as in speech not free as in beer” Free Software Movement, how is it like Open Source and not], but for the moment here are links to programs that were taught in a workshop I attended recently. I put a ** next… Continue reading Free Software Links & Occupying the Internet
Shareware, Freeware, Open Source: Definitions, explanations, and some programs!
Why are there a billion free PC programs out there but only ten thousand free Mac programs? Because a PC operating system is open source and Mac is proprietary. What the hell does that mean? Friends that’s a long conversation down intellectual property and capitalism lane, so let’s go there a little bit, and lets… Continue reading Shareware, Freeware, Open Source: Definitions, explanations, and some programs!
