Anumma: Hebrew Bible and Digital Learning
I’ve want to write a post about plagiarism, with reference to an excellent series of educational “what-is-plagiarism?” posters that I recently discovered.
But, the company publishing the posters won’t return my emails asking for permission to reproduce them.

…ends very soon. In mere days, in fact. Thanks for your patience, and don't delete that RSS feed just yet.
In the meantime, enjoy [FOOTNOTE] the biblical exegesis of Wanda Jackson (“Hard Headed Woman”).
BACK TO POST“enjoy" here ≈ being acutely reminded of how frequently the only “empowerment” available has amounted to “internalizing as self-loathing the sweeping prejudices of the patriarchy, but being really saucy and spunky about it.” h/t to Judy in comments.

If you haven’t noticed it before, this page sports two blogrolls. The second one, titled “Other Academic Blogs,” lists some of my favorite (non-biblical studies) bloggers in higher education. Most are women, and most are pseudonymous.
Check them out, if you haven’t already or if you haven’t lately. Let me know if you suggest any additions.

Overwhelmed this week? Yes, thanks for asking. In the meantime, enjoy a collection of YouTube videos relating to Passover, courtesy of JR.
I will write more substantively on this later on, but for now, just take a look at Joseph’s post and its comment thread.
Short version of my response: I very much like the idea of a Bible translation that is subject to the Wiki’s ways.
Or do you hear the strains of a modern Qohelet in the weary workplace recollections of a dime-store Cassandra? (Eff-Bomb Alert: grown-up language for grown-ups.)
Although Duane, for his part, offers no proofs, I unhesitatingly entrust my eggs to the basket of his own prediction.
Which means I’ll have to create my summer courses after all, I guess.
You don’t need me to tell you that being a student is a chancy business. As Ph.D. comics notes, there are the perils of summer.
Then, there are the special hazards of fall. Like, your Hebrew teacher singing.

Stay safe out there, everyone.

No course load. Out there:
So, Berubé has been back for eight months. I just noticed it, while loitering around Akma’s picking gum off my shoe and scratching. More bleeding-edge news as it arrives, if I don’t wander absent-mindedly into the sea or break my legs tripping over my slack jaw.
We all knew that Akma’s Random Thoughts is an Awesome Blog by one of the World’s Smartest People, but it is nice to see it made official. (Link: www dot onlineuniversities dot com/blog/2009/05/100-awesome-blogs-by-some-of-the-worlds-smartest-people/ )
H/T to James McGrath, who notes that the alert eye will find around the blogosphere other lights who are not less in brilliance.
Bound copies of my dissertation arrived from Pro-Quest yesterday!
Handsomely bound, suitable for display, stopping doors, and as a coaster. Also cures insomnia (which is ironic, considering how many nights the thing woke me in a clammy sweat.)
I have a post in progress about “pseudohistory” as a species of woo. In the meantime, have a gander at the blog that inspired my reflections on the topic: Mike Heiser’s PaleoBabble, dedicated to the ongoing struggle against “cyber-twaddle and misguided research about the ancient world.”
