It's groovy that digital humanities scholarship is getting some serious money.

Tackling digital preservation....

An awesome blend of digital and culture.

Collection of social media research highlights of 2013.

BiblioTech, one of the country's first all-digital public libraries, aims to reach more readers by hosting their entire collection on the cloud. Patrons may choose from 18,000 digital titles and can check out Kindles, too. I wonder if this is what all libraries will start to look like. I also love that they have an "iPad Bar" haha

The digital programs look groovy. Some were even developed by graduate students. I plan to use a couple of them in my work.

Class assignment in NYT....

Interesting point about television in the article.

This story reminds me of the emac6300 tech workshop. Useful tools. Groovy.

When old world problems follow the shiny new thing in digital media.

An interesting way to give....digital realm

An interesting way to give....in the digital realm.

"Personal branding, writing a resume, creating an advertisement all have a common theme. When trying to persuade someone, generic statements aren't enough." I take issue with "you can make your own luck," but the post has some merit in terms of the signifiers you use to describe yourself.

Interesting. Before I got my current job, I was attempting to find one in social media. The idea of giving myself a social media title hadn't even occurred to me. Either I didn't do enough research or I accidentally avoided a digital faux pas. Either way, I already knew that it's what details and experience you can offer that represent your social media guru-ness... And not what silly title you can invent. Side note, that photo they used isn't from Halloween, it's from an anime or comic convention! I know because I'm a dork and I attend them regularly. (:

No judging here... it's from New York Comic Con. I recognized the convention center and went to the flickr stream to verify. :D

I kind of feel like this goes for both the EMAC6300 class and our Digital Text class. It makes me think of McLuhan's the Media is the Message using machine to make text and how we can use text (like poetry or a story) in a new way. Interesting!

As an EMAC graduate student and veteran journalist, this piece was very intriguing.

Today's tech companies hire social scientists to help them develop, or enhance, the user experience of their digital products. These kinds of gigs seem to fit with the EMAC program.

This is a fairly good list.... And, I am familiar with more than half of them, so that's a good start. LOL!

I've heard of SnapChat, but not the other three. Scary to think! I have teens and one of them does use SnapChat, but he's on Instagram more. I worry about it all! #emac6300

All hail the unintended consequences of advancement in technology and industrialization as a whole. I think I, like many people, am in that dizzying stage of love and hate relationship with all things digital.
