Some library-hating Grinch stole the Internet Archive's truck on Christmas Eve!

Won't you help them replace it by donating NOW?

Everyone loves the Internet Archive and its Wayback Machine--except for this feckin' truck stealer. I use it virtually everyday for access to public-domain books, magazines, films, and whatnot. And I rely on its library component for online borrowing of in-copyright books.

On some chilly days, Woody is the perfect heater cat to have on one's lap.

All Things Acoustic - Christmas and Hanukkah

@tidmarsh I'm getting by. It only hurts when I use muscles. So, I'm trying to be as sedentary as possible.

Risked the consequences and took a shower today! FTW!

Get me! I'm a mummy!

This is what happens when a surgeon repairs THREE hernias and reconnects a separated abdominal wall. The pain is only a 1 or 2 on the ol' 10-point scale, but then the nerve block has not worn off yet...

The Very First Webcam Was Invented to Keep an Eye on a Coffee Pot at Cambridge University

The internet as we know it today began with a coffee pot. Despite the ring of exaggeration, that claim isn't actually so far-fetched. When most of us go online, we expect something new: often not just something new to read, but something new to watch.

For a comedy-in-media class I just finished teaching, I tried an in-class experiment where I had the students create a single-camera version of a SEINFELD episode.
I told one student to shoot as many wacky angles (just stills, not video) of the actors as she could think of. She stood on a desk for high-angle shots, crawled on the ground for low-angle shots, and stuck her iPhone 6 inches from the actors’ faces. #Seinfeld #TeachingMedia #MediaStudies #SingleCamera
