A collection of license plates curated by Katherine Frazer.
Personalized license plates could be thought of as a way to annotate one’s car.
The new pack of 50 stickers is based on a series of ceramic sculptures Owens made based on the beloved facial icons.
Custom emoji for annotating. Mentioned in a talk this morning at I Annotate 2021.
A coalition of content creators, technology platforms, service providers and stakeholder groups in education coming together to achieve the first steps for cross-platform social learning.
Saw the announcement for this at IAnnotate21. Hypothes.is is participating.
The list of participants could definitely use some more diversity.
The eighth annual conference dedicated to open annotation practices and technologies: 21–25 Jun 2021 online.
Anyone gotten the Airmeet link yet? I’m not seeing anything in my inbox since the email about the program last week….
It's a stellar week of conferences and workshops for all things digital in higher ed, including #IAnno21, the #DoOO Roadshow, #LACOL2021, and vCLAC2021 all happening. Buckle up!

The strike-throughs, underlines, doodles, and marginalia made by historical figures in their personal papers at the Library of Congress give researchers a more intimate sense of who they were. These markings sometimes shed light on the story of how a work was made or received. Researchers can understand more about the creative process, opinions and musings of people throughout the centuries by understanding these historical markings that are often, literally and figuratively, in the margins. Artist and educator Courtney McClellan is inspired by this tradition of mark-making, and today the Library of Congress announced her appointment as 2021 Innovator in Residence.McClellan’s project, Speculative Annotation, will invite Americans to join this historical lineage of annotators by creatively engaging with a curated collection of free to use items from the

In addition to looking in the margins, one must also look at contemporaneous copies of both printed and privately held (or collected) commonplace books to cast a wider net on these practices.

The writing I enjoy doing most, every year, is marginalia: spontaneous bursts of pure, private response to whatever book happens to be in front of me. It’s the most intimate, complete, and honest form of criticism possible — not the big wide-angle aerial shot you get from an official review essay, but a moment-by-moment record of what a book actually feels like to the actively reading brain. ❧
This is a phenomenal way to do a look back at a year in reading. I’ll have to consider how to pull it off for myself this year.
What's been happening in the IndieWeb community May 14-21, 2021
Allows for text selections to be copied (refactored) into new notes and notes to be split into other notes. - lynchjames/note-refactor-obsidian
First and foremost, I want to thank the hard working staff for keeping freenode running during these challenging times. Without you, this wouldn't be possible.

From the release of the page experience algorithm, there is no longer any preferential treatment for AMP in Google’s search results, Top Stories carousel and the Google News.
Hooray!
Everyone has a bone to pick with existing social networks. There are plenty of legitimate concerns, but the fact is that social media has also been incredibly valuable for many people. If your business depends in large part on connecting with others or engaging with an audience, it’s hard to simpl...
The heading really says it all.
I’ve been spitballing with a few people about how to create alternate funding ideas including making smaller community-centric hubs and infrastructure to both center the smaller interactions as well as help create healthier funding centers for our technology. Smaller local news outlets and libraries are better places for these spaces to stem from in my opinion. Setting up these structures isn’t easy (or cheap) however.
As for the confusion on the IndieWeb pieces, you’re not wrong. The community knows this is an issue and is slowly, but surely working on it. Naturally it’s a slow process because it’s all volunteer driven, but we’ll get there.
David Shanske (david.shanske.com)In November 2018, we went to Orlando to perform the Parkeology Challenge. We came close, but did not succeed. We had always hoped to try again, but illness, as well as the pandemic restricting travel, had pushed it off. Now one of the team is no longer with us(the one who took the photo). I’ve n...

A system to organise projects.
Johnny Decimal seems to be an interesting organizational structure for putting things into. Not sure if it’s something I’m going to use any time soon, but intriguing.
