Open Book Publishers launches new Digital Humanities Series » aaDH: Australasian Association for Digital Humanities Open Book Publishers has launched a new Digital Humanities Series . The series is overseen by an international board of experts (including two members of the aa-DH inaugural executive committee) and its books subjected to rigorous peer review. Its objective is to encourage works that extend the boundaries of the field and help to strengthen its interrelations with the other disciplines of the arts, humanities and beyond. We are interested in experimental monographs, edited volumes and collections as well as introductory guides for non-specialists, best practices guides for practitioners and “state of the art” surveys. The Series offers digital humanists a dedicated venue for high-quality, Open Access publication. Proposals in any area of the Digital Humanities are invited. Editorial Board: Paul Arthur, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Julia Flanders, Gary Hall, Brett D.

SONY MOUSE & CAT - GFX Process Montage At long last, we have documented trips on Citi Bike. Rides are displayed as point-to-point journeys (not routed in the street grid – yet) and are rendered in color based on whether the rider was an annual or casual user. This visualization was produced using journey data from Tuesday, September 17th at 12 midnight and Wednesday, September 18th at midnight. Approximately 75,000 rides were taken in these two days. The weather was mild, with highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s.
