Betsy noted the other day that bees are the new chickens -- and soon she'll be getting some bees to join her chickens.

Hurrah! Now I can enjoy my mom's honey, as well as her eggs.

"With more and more humanities scholars embracing scholarship that is either conducted or published online, funding agencies and a network of “digital humanities centers” are stepping up to provide money and organizational structure for what has been a grassroots movement."

More here. (By way of Dan Cohen's Digital Humanities Blog.)

In other news, I'm kind of tired of my own schtick. I'm not saying I'm giving up -- just that the "idea blog" seemed fun five years ago, and now I'm a little over myself. Maybe it has something to do with being depressed the last couple of years. Maybe I'm working too much. Or maybe it was the ideas that just got boring. ANYWAY -- if I don't do ideas, what DO I do? What do you do with the url, "Mary's Great Ideas" after the ideas are gone? No wonder I'm depressed! Maybe twitter will help.
