I’m currently interested in extremely short fiction, like 6 word stories, and using Twitter as a storytelling medium. 140MAX was recently held in Quebec, the Guardian challenged authors to write 140 character novels. Today Twitter announced it’s having a 5 day twitter fiction festival #twitterfiction

blog.twitter.com/2012/10/announcing-twitter-fiction-festival.html

Short poetry (haiku, even limericks) works because of the built in formalism and ability for wordplay. Is 140 character prose effective?

I made an interactive art installation, Fibbly, that also serves as a mathematical research tool, and I’ve used it for elementary education outreach, too. It’s not very DH-ey, but it’s cool and digital and I’ve had surprising success engaging young people with it too.

Hopefully the presentation machine will be running a good browser on a Mac or Linux system; Fibbly seems to choke on Windows.

I was trying to make an interactive version of the syllabus for my World Literature class using Neatline/Omeka (the course gimmick is “Literature in the City”). After spending a bit too much of my own time plugging in data and figuring out how to work Neatline (it is still a bit finicky in places), I realized:

Why in the world am I not having my current students create this resource for themselves—and for those who will be taking the course in the future? DH duh. So that’s one in-class project we’ll be starting in the weeks to come.
