- The Anglo-Saxon Narrative Poetry Project comes back to life with some lines from Juliana.
- Archaeology in Europe has an update, with a few medieval items sprinkled among the classical.
- A Corner of Tenth Century Europe has a post on medieval Latin on the internet.
- Wombat's World has a K'zoo round-up.
- Muhlberger discusses The Masculine Self in Late Medieval England.

- Medieval Material Culture Blog has details of two exhibits.
- Per Omnia Saecula has a post on Terry Gilliam and Don Quixote.
- StevenTill has Google maps of medieval castles, cathedrals, and abbeys. Now, why didn't anyone think of such a simple and cool post before?
- Eileen Joy asks for help choosing cover art for postmedieval. I really, really prefer the second one because it is both a more attractive color, and it capitalizes Postmedieval.
- Heroic Dreams has a clay castle and an office supply trebuchet.
- The Heroic Age has some links and a CfP for the New College Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
- Japes for Owre Tymes has a post on a Marvin strip I don't really understand. I assume it is supposed to be funny, but I can't quite get it.
- The WSJ discusses Nascar as an update of the medieval joust. I'm not 100% convinced, but am moreso than Paul Freedman. I think his objection is pretty much refuted by the existence of boat jousting.

Always choose your background carefully. Two guys in white shirts with a white board and white screen behind them -- it makes one long for color!
ReplyDeleteWSJ article on jousting shows itself to be baloney:
ReplyDelete"Jousting, a sport that involves two opponents trying to unhorse each other with a lance..."
Two opponents facing each other, no racing element.
Yeah, and also sitting on a table seems to have been a poor choice as well. Normally I'm interviewed on a set, and so don't have to think about background.
ReplyDeleteAs the internet makes visual media more common, I guess I'm going to have to start giving more attention to such issues as how to use a teleprompter and how to select a background.
