Someone pointed out that I have not blogged in this space for quite some time. I have just been too busy, and I have also prioritized doing online writing elsewhere (including the HUMlab blog). Hopefully there will be more writing here in the future. Or I will start a new blog. Let’s see.
I am currently [...]

I surprised myself today by actually finding a notebook I was looking for – from 2004. I need it for one of the case studies I am currently working on for my article – this one is about a HASTAC meeting I attended in September 2004. The first entry in this notebook is from May [...]

I have been back in Sweden about two weeks now. Very busy weeks, and today has been the first reasonably ’slow’ days in several weeks. I have a long list of things to attend to, but I also took some time this evening to edit my second digital humanities article. I am looking forward to [...]

It is almost 11 pm, and I am in one of my favorite cafés in Berkeley. I do not think there is one free table available here, and probably 40-50 students doing work (and a few others). About one computer per table. And there is a girl at the table next to mine who is calling all her fellow [...]

Over the last couple of days I have been able to reconnect with the Pacific. It is chilly and windy here with interspersed periods of sun, but reconnecting does not really require sun. I am currently shifting gears – planning for some intense writing away from home. Yesterday I produced a new version of article [...]

Café time again. I spent most of it working on two texts – one relating to Umeå as a possible cultural capital of Europe and another one outlining a planned EU project – but I have had also had 20 minutes looking at a new interesting book (thanks Jim for telling me about it): A [...]

It is a new year. I have made a comittment to spend half my work time every day on my own writing and projects (not a new years eve committment though), and today I think the distribution is relatively even. I am currently in my favorite café. There is a very loud discussion going on [...]

I have spent the morning working in one my favorite cafes in Berkeley. It is now 10:50 am on a Sunday morning, and the café is almost completely full with mostly students doing work and socializing (mainly the former). Nice coffee and nice setting. I have some HUMlab things to take care off, but this evening I will start to focus on my [...]

It is nice to be back. Fall colors, crisp air, and still not really cold. I had a reasonably productive day today and I hope to do some emailing concerned my upcoming November trip this evening as well as some seminar planning. I have a feeling I will not get too much time for my own [...]

I have had a couple of good and intensive days at Stanford doing project work. I have met a great many really interesting people and made some new contacts. I still have some time left here and I think this will be more low-density time. I have a few meetings but not too many.
When getting back to Umeå on Friday [...]
