This design irks me. Its a much better visual than the previous spiral but each of the days being uneven and the 4pm meeting appearing like its before the 2pm meeting and somehow incredibly close to 8am is a kind of surreal I don't like. Bring me back to calendars!!

This feels like it shouldn't be an issue due to the flexability of technology, but here we are

This reminds me of that one cautionary tale of the king who wanted to make a dictionary that covered everything in the world, but became as big as a palace and completely unusable. (Or so I remember it.) There has to be moderation in the information you share or you will get lost in it.

It really does paint a picture of what was important at the time. It only mentions death, fights, and crop yields.

Charles is Carrying against invaders. also I wonder which Saturday.

I really wonder what happened in these years. Nothing politically notable, as it seems, but there must have been more to it. Priorities, priorities.

I find this interesting, now a days these two are bascially the same thing and from what I know, they both deal in facts.

Theres no reason to argue something like this. Video games are a new story telling medium, they are stories. Thats it

These descriptions feel very odd to me. What was the author trying to accomplish by adding it? It sounds like dialogue in a romance novel

Like talked about earlier in the semester, this is now a dead link.

Judging by most peoples perception of google and other companies like it I don't think its working

Thats one of the biggest things I've heard artists friends struggle with. at some point you have to find a balance between stuff you want to see/relate to, and stuff other people want to see/relate to. Every artist has to go through it eventually unless they get lucky and those things intersect.

Storyies arn't as flimsy as people think they are, either, and not all of them are pure whimsy. The Aboriginal Gunditjmara people may, if scientists are correct, have a story depicting a geological event from 37,000 years ago. Telling stories is a key part in our humanity

This is probably just a throw away line but I think it's interesting that they use an example from Rime of the ancient Mariner, a horrific cautionary tale here. also, Wordsworth had nothing to do with making of the poem. It was just published in a book with some of his work.

I do, and now I like it less

I don't know why but this is deeply unsettling to me. The reason why these dishes are paired the way they are is because of their data! Taking that out takes away what makes them them! Now they're only being paired superficially, and sure it may work but it seems meaningless

I was doing well with the meal thing and this Immediately lost me

I immediately have questions. Why is this worse? Shouldn't applying logic and details make it more accurate? What do people do if the machine starts spitting out random meal combinations that they then can't make sense of? It seems risk prone

This is wild. I wonder how specific these tools need to get. Like could you reuse a model made for presidential speeches for a normal conversation? Do all presedents have similar enough speech patterns that Obama and Washington would have the same results? This is fascinating.

Imagine you go urban exploring and stumble upon a massive underground library. That would be awesome

funding entities are starting to see physical copies (even what was originally physical) as non essential

as someone who has had basically all of his classes pound the importance of correct citations into his head for a year and a half this is making me feel very weary of what kind of stuff im going to have to do for citations in the future.

This is amazing work, especially for such a small archive. I wonder how far other archival connections spread

This is another facet of the digital vs. in person issue. As convenient as digital communication is you don't get the full understanding unless you're there in person.

This is actually an issue I've started running into recently. Not necessarily the understanding of how other people would read things, but my level of understanding decreases when I try to read things on a screen rather than on a physical page. I don't understand why, but theres something important lost when I'm not physically holding an item.

all of these projects are amazing in their own rights and I'd like to add one I know to the pot: https://www.jqtvancouver.ca/jqt-oral-history-bc

It's an oral history archive of Jewish Queer and Trans people from BC. Incredibly interesting stuff

I don't know if anyone here has used the service ancestry, but this is used pretty frequently on there. It scans things like old records (that would be near illegible, at least to me) and is able to transcribe it near perfectly

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what this document is?

This is incredibly interesting to me. Tags are something so familiar to us, its used on basically every social media platform, but (to me at least) thats where the association ends. Its interesting that they're apparently so prevalent

This is very interesting to look at after the recent downfall of twitter. It makes me wonder if these people are still using twitter or if they've moved to another platform

I agree compleatly, these kinds of skills should be taught passively all throughout your education. If you're going to need them in your degree, it should at least be mentioned and explored on the backburner.

This is one of the things that ended up drawing me into humanities in the first place. although social media platforms do a lot of harm, it makes these resources incredibly easy to stumble upon and dive into.

What does this mean in this context? I can't figure it out

I wonder how long ago this was- there are many ways to create digitally now that don't require that skill. That or he's just being a gatekeeper.

I guess I'm proving their point, I had no idea this kind of stuff was going on before the 80's
