Blogging Every Day Between Now and SBL Annual Meeting

It’s exactly four weeks until I’m presenting at the SBL Annual Meeting in Atlanta. As I have a long backlog of posts I’ve wanted to do for a while, I thought I might try to blog every day between now and my talk on November 22nd.

As well as motivating me to finish up some posts and also get some other ideas down in writing, I also hope the blogging will get people more interested in what I’m going to be talking about at the SBL meeting and lay a foundation for some conversations I hope to have with people while there.

at the intersection of computing, linguistics, philology, and learning science

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
