Week 9 Digital Humanities Critique
Intro The main focus of all the media we consumed this week was the critique of the digital humanities (or DH). Some outright had critiques of DH, others discussed how the critiquing should be done, some what kind of criticism needs to be included, and even the pitfalls of criticism in the DH discipline. Critiquing… Continue reading Week 9 Digital Humanities Critique
Post Three Mile Island Incident
March 1979-1989 There were more articles found for this time period, which rationally could be expected, just accounting for the increase in population and academia. With this increase in articles, there were many more documents (and thus words) to add to the Voyant corpus. This can make a few of the visualizations, especially the mandala… Continue reading Post Three Mile Island Incident
Pre-3 Mile Island Incident
1969-Early 1979 Fewer articles were found for the earlier years in this time period in the database used (zero for 1970, one for 1969, 1971 for example). A full scale corpus was still able to be created and can be analyzed with the various Voyant tools in this post. Here are a few useful summaries… Continue reading Pre-3 Mile Island Incident

Initially, some of my photos didn’t work but I think I just didn’t get the right URL, I needed one… Continue reading Week 7 Timeline
Week 5 Voyant
I equally struggled and enjoyed working with Voyant this week. As you may be able to tell from this late posting it was a bit of a week for me personally and I would have liked to spend even more time with Voyant than I did. Unfortunately, most of the time I did spend was… Continue reading Week 5 Voyant
Week 4 OCR
The goal of this week felt strangely familiar to me, like something I had done before but it took me until just a few minutes before writing this post to figure it out. I have often used google translate on my phone, as I have an android, and it came out with a new feature… Continue reading Week 4 OCR
Week 3
This week learning about metadata was very eye opening. Finding out that it was actually kind of a simple and (so far) pretty easily usable concept made it a lot less intimidating. In that train of thought, I tried to use my tags on my Omeka posts this week to help readers identify what kind… Continue reading Week 3
