@SimonTanner Such sad news. He was a wonderful colleague over many years.

The legendary Paul Ayris has passed away. His influence is beyond measure. He was a very supportive colleague and a brilliant strategic mind. He brought people together and made significant change happen. RIP Paul. linkedin.com/posts/league-o…

See you on the other side. @cmkeithw.bsky.social

@zanders @NewOrleansVC @Microsoft @kboughida Did they watch our CNI session? :-)

Good stuff from @Microsoft's #FutureOfWork report. As more workflows become automated, integrations and curation may be even more important than content generation. Production work work will shift to connnecting the silos of data within an organization. We call this #ProdOps

A new short documentary film by @One_World_Ntwrk airing during the #COP28 climate summit highlights @CarnegieMellon’s leadership in environmental research and education + the role of #OpenSource software to amplify the impact of these efforts. Learn more: bit.ly/485INMg

Macro-photography setup to capture the type in one of the @CMULibraries copies of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Venice, 1499). Kelsey Elder of @cmudesign doing some very cool things in preparation for a class this fall on type revivals.

@samuellemley @CMULibraries These do look nice. Can’t wait to see them in action!

Uncrated some slick new display cases @CMULibraries

@martin_eve I hope you get the tests you need soon - thinking of you.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Blood tests show a suspected clot in my lungs. However, I can't have the CT scan to confirm this... Because of kidney failure. So I need a different test at a different hospital, on Monday. I am on blood thinners until then.

Wonderful new resource from @CMULibraries: "A Toolkit for Collecting #Robotics & Other Complex Material in a #Research Ecosystem" doi.org/10.1184/R1/222… See also: presentation from #CNI22f at youtu.be/EbXDr-1_mDk #Archives @CarnegieMellon
