As part of the local celebrations of the KJV/AV jubilee (what does one call a 400 year anniversary?) I’m to speak on a distinguished panel. My thought is to address the well-known aural/oral qualities of the KJV/AV and relate that to the possibilities of various oralities/new oralities introduced by the move to electronically mediated communications.

TED often has inspiring and intriguing short talks. Though, as a long-time visitor to the site I’m less easily wowed than I used to be. One from the latest crop is a commercial demo. It’s what Push Pop Press (or possibly TED) think is “the next-generation digital book”. Take a look, it is impressive: I [...]
Promoting a blog is easy, no need to list it in directories, just post a few interesting posts, and as with the most publishable academic articles make sure they “engage” with others (in blogging this may mean being rude, in academia proper fawning admiration is often better) and presto in a few weeks or months [...]
I do not like boundaries. (Well except the ones I erect to keep the animals in ;) It is fun to cross borders, things are different on the other side. Travel broadens the mind. So, for my latest Librivox reading I’ve tried two of La Lontaine’s Fables both from book 9. Both were fun, and [...]

Well, another month is past, in the passing Sansblogue has completed seven years. So do I have the seven year itch that causes so many bloggers to “temporarily” cease blogging (either really temporarily or really for ever)? Not a bit of it, while I have readers, and (I hope) something worthwhile to say I’ll continue [...]
Jim West won’t like this (“food for dilettantes” he’ll probably call it) but if (like me) you are a visual and/or kinesthetic learner and you want a really quick rough overview of some new topic Qwiki hits the spot. It offers a mashup of Wikipedia extracts read aloud by a computer, with images and other [...]
As part of my preparation to teach a course on Biblical Narrative next semester I am collecting together links to my podcasts on this topic here is what I have so far (if you can spot any “missing” podcasts – either ones I’ve done but forgotten, or ones I should do – please let me [...]
Next year I am teaching Biblical Narrative again, so I thought this time I’d collect my podcasts about how biblical narrative works, so that I can offer them to the students as a simple way in to the topic. Here’s the list so far. Do tell me what’s missing! That way I have till February [...]
