I don’t think anything else I’ve made comes close to the popularity of What is Digital Humanities?.

Observable Plot looks like a fantastic new way for generating charts in browsers. API seems user friendly, looks quick to learn, and easy to get started with exploratory data visualization in JavaScript.

I’m going to need that new iMac.

Good evening.

After hand-digging twenty-eight 1’ diameter by 2.5’ deep holes, pouring 2,300lbs of concrete, working with 100+ pieces of lumber, hanging over 500 pickets, and hauling away the old fence–Project Fence is coming to a close. All that remains is to hang the gate.

Tell me you’re in your mid-thirties without telling me you’re in your mid-thirties.

My wrist is so sore from using a hammer all day yesterday that I can’t write with a pen today.

Also, the soundtrack for Project Fence has been Johnny Cash on endless repeat. I’ll credit @lmullen for prompting this.

Project Fence day seven ends with almost all of the exterior pickets hung. The longest exterior section is complete, at least.

Project Fence, day six. Pickets started getting in place this evening.

Project Fence, day five. All the posts installed and cemented, most of the rail hung.

Project Fence, day four. Hoping rain is mostly done for the day.

Project Fence day three, inside before the heavy rains hit. Over halfway done with setting posts.

I’m excited to announce Project Fence is now sponsored by ibuprofen.

Day two of Project Fence is in the books.

I’m falling back on my days as a landscaper and taking on replacing our cedar fence this week.

I’m already beat.

Dose 2!

Those are fighting words.

Fantastic piece by Hannah Fry on the harm and the good that can come from what we decide to count and how we decide to count it.

Looking good, mobile @zotero!

If you’re aghast at the reinstallment of Richard Stallman on the board of the Free Software Foundation, you can sign an open letter here.

Det er vaffeldag i skandinavia! Lage noen vafler i dag!

It’s good.

Future firewood.
