I wish I could have attended THATCamp, since I’m teaching a Digital History course in the fall (see my preliminary outline – digitalhistoryccsu.wordpress.com — you will see I’ve also passed off Bill Turkel’s, and Dan Cohen’s, ideas as my own!)
However, I don’t know a lick of code. Talk about being an imposter.

I think you should spend your limited spare time making a robot. A computer with feet is a good place to start. It’s a new millienium, so go ahead and make your own collaborative transcription tool, in your garage. If it were me, I’d give it a singing Johnny Cash voice, though you’d prolly go with the King.

Your post hit how I feel about digital humanities on the dot. It will totally be the future and do great things and revolutionize history and rock. But like our neighbors to the north, I can speak basically the same language, it just sounds funny.

When you say create a data mining program to search all historic newspapers using XML tags… I know what you mean. But I can’t seem to break that barrier of actually using digital techniques in my own work. Maybe in time.

Looking forward to catching up this weekend…

I have the same feelings about this — nibbling at the edges of some larger production. But the larger production is almost as good — no maybe its just as much fun–as chocolate. And I like your concept course idea a lot.

I just wanted to thank you for the clever little “Kicking and Screaming” reference– it’s one of my favorite movies…
