"If AI had existed in the early aughts, we could not have accelerated Zotero’s conception, b/c we did not know exactly what we wanted...As programming increasingly becomes a caffeinated bender with magical bots, this measured pace & emphasis on communal thinking likely holds an important lesson." ❤️‍🔥

On the 20th anniversary of Zotero's 1.0 release on October 5, 2006, I wrote a history of the collaboration and years it took to create the popular research tool now used by over 20 million people: newsletter.dancohen.org/archive/the-...

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here. I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!

Happy New Year, friends! I have some ~personal news~, which is that the Bluesky team is generously giving me some contract work (which could possibly turn into a job) welcoming more indie media and local govt to Bsky and supporting those already here.

this is what happens when artists take classes in media theory: they make incredibly ceramic tiles of the first page of McLuhan's "The Medium is the Message" and Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" as part of their presentation! I mean really, people. Look at these things 😍

Honored to have and hold this gorgeous piece by @quinnanya.me, in its embroidery-loop-astronaut-helmet!

Now that it's in the hands of @spotvin.bsky.social a #DHmakes embroidery reveal: "I am the sin eater" (in fuzzy letters because the law is too), a reflection on corpus creation from the IMLS Data Speculations forum. Subtle Scihub and Libgen logos in there too along with "dead elephant" in binary. 🧶
