All--

Consider this a sampler of items I've catalogued while trolling the
web over the last couple
of weeks:

WWNC:
The World-Wide Newton Conference will be held in Paris Sept. 4-5, for
those (like me) interested in Apple's abandoned PDA platform.

From Slashdot:
An entry pointing to an article on Bob Supnik's Computer History
Simulation Project, which argues for emulation over hardware
restoration.

BETHA Institute:
I recently participated in the BETHA Institute for Mew Media Studies.
Conversations about new media and the future of the humanities, and
we got 3 days'
worth of studio time at OSU's Digital Union to work on various
projects. A fun time was
had by all.
