Last week I was on a panel at the Organization of American Historian's Annual Meeting up in DC with some folks from CHNM. One of the really cool thing that I've noticed is every time I'm around those folks, I get ideas...which can be dangerous. I had been...

After some really good conversations last week at the Institute on Enabling Geospatial Scholarship about mobile devices and mapping as an interpretive device, I mocked up a quick page to see how OpenLayers looked on the Safari mobile browser. The theory...

I had meant to get this info out there a bit earlier, but we were sponsoring an NEH Institute on Enabling Geospatial Scholarship. That's a different post, but I did want to get back to Omeka and flush out building the RPM for Omeka. What I'm going to...

As a part of my research time, I've started dusting off an old project I always wanted to get back to. Back in 2005 I started working with some folks who were starting to write an article on the development of architectural identity in the early...

I committed a bunch of small fixes into the Solrmarc and Vufind projects today to deal with the release of Solr 1.3 RC 2. We're using the multicore functionality of Solr for Vufind and we were having some issues with the resource loaders for the different...
