¡Hay que joderse!
Respuesta de la IA de google a mi búsqueda: "La obra que buscas no es "La vida del pícaro", sino La vida de Lázaro de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades, una novela anónima publicada por primera vez en 1554, no en 1601, que es considerada el origen de la novela picaresca moderna y narra las aventuras de un pícaro desde una perspectiva amarga y moralmente crítica de la sociedad española de la época."

These arrived in the mail today (one via library's purchase)! Now I need to eventually get @elikaortega.bsky.social's autograph for my Books by Friends mini-bookshelf 🤓

Can't wait to find the winter time to dive into all the titles and take many notes

(Thanks Élika for alerting us of the discount)

I have so far encoded 2 letters, deployed a very drafty website and untangled a few knots cos git and GitHub and Jekyll are just like that.

And I’ve build the first floor of a Music place so far, adding some sidewalk too

A photograph of half a building made of Lego. It’s a brown, white and black facade with some greenery and a grey and boring sidewalk. It has an open bar on the left, with an espresso machine.

Well then, here is my latest, before I start posting the next one on #DHmakes!

Lego people can now relax and see some exotic flowers at the botanical garden before or after visiting the natural history museum, or just during a lunch break 😆
Photographs of a Lego building, from all angles, that mimics a botanical garden. It has a white facade with a lot of windows and a glass dome; the trees have pink leaves. It also has two small fountains on both wings of the building, on the ceiling. It is built on a 32x32 plate fit other modular buildings.

If you are going to message me about some job opportunity completely unrelated to my position and training, at least get your message algorithm right?

Virtual @globaldhsymposium.bsky.social was an inspiring 3-day meeting with presenters from different cultures thinking together, sharing strategies 💫

And I took up the challenge of cross stitching something to pay more attention; it worked and now I have a nice little souvenir from the symposium 😅

My informal advisee, now Dra. Arribas Colmenar, successfully defended her dissertation this morning 🥳 She incorporated SNA throughout it to uncover patterns of socialization in Spanish intellectual circuits from 1909 to 1936.

Well, since I can’t DM them the image, here it is for all to see:

@quinnanya.me I think Lego made you a mini figure for the 2025 mini figure surprise boxes 😅
Lego mini-figure: a non-gendered figure with a blue, white and pink sweater that has mini cats, blue pants, the person is holding a pink yarn, and there is a white cat behind them. Open to interpretation.

Took a 10-min break to update the social logos on my website and was finally able to add the Bluesky one:
Screen capture from a personal website, with the logos of the following social media and academic networks: Email, OrcID, Google Scholar, GitHub, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Discord. White background with logos in black. Below it says: "You can reach me via email. Puedes contactarme por email"

I have a ton of big things due next week so, naturally, I took upon the task of finishing assembling the Lego bonsai by adding the 101 pink frogs to it.

It looks good on my DH bookshelf in the office.
Bonsai made of LEGO, with the pink frogs as petals on white leaves. It also has a wooden like base and little white, green and brown pebbles. Two level bookshelf with a plant, a few books about digital humanities in English, Spanish and Basque, the bonsai made of LEGO.

Made my day seeing the campus babies and toddlers waving to Batman and Spiderman hanging from the new Liberal Arts building 🥹☺️

When in DC … I am kinda exhausted from a wonderful time at #DH2024 catching up with old friends 🥰 and making new ones 🤩 but I couldn’t leave without dancing to live salsa and switching to DJ upstairs during breaks 😅

Y’all enjoy this mural 😄
