Friday Varia and Quick Hits

A beautiful North Dakota early fall day is an ideal time for some varia and and quick hits.

• Mediterranean Palimpsest: A new blog on “Greek history, archaeology, and culture from antiquity to the present” by long-time PKAP collaborator and colleague (and fellow Richmond Spider) Dallas Deforest.

• All Road lead to Rome. A digital mock up of the Tabula Peutingeriana (h/t Sebastian Heath).

• Invisible Australians is an amazing digital history project. It is blogged at discontents.  An the real face of White Australia is really cool.

• Ancient Lives. Crowd sourced papyrus transcription.

• More on Peirene from David Pettegrew (here’s my review).

• Amazing Athenian graffiti (h/t Kostis Kourelis).

• I am not sure that I understand this tumblr, but it also could be pretty awesome.

• More experimental digital humanities (h/t Kostis Kourelis).

• Fela Soul. I am not sure that this doesn’t work.

• Teaching Thursday.  You need to digitize your workflow. Noon. Today. O’Kelly 207.

Mavailable space, indeed.

What I’m listening to (more reggae): Peter Tosh, Equal Rights; Bob Marley African Herbman and some non-reggae Amon Tobin.

What I’m reading: Reading? Reading? We’re talking about READING?
