‘Twas the Night Before DH Day …
Getting my thoughts together for tomorrow’s Day of DH extravaganza. So far day looks like this:
- submit CFP for SCSC early modern panels
- Skype with imageMAT team to map out milestones for next three months
- finish marking students’ #DigitalBard wiki projects
- start transcribing Edwin Nunzeger’s entry on Richard Tarlton for the Tarlton Project
- finish transcribing interview with Nirmal Trivedi and Karen Head for TECHStyle
hopefully I’ll be able to keep things rolling. Follow my exploits:
