Easy answer: nowhere, really. I got a bit caught up in some of my own work that I wasn’t particularly interested in sharing with the web, but now that I’m involved with some new digital humanities projects over at UConn I’m ready to get this blog started up again. So apologies for the (extremely) extended hiatus, and expect some new content here in the near future!
I’m also doing a site redesign, so it’s possible it’ll look a bit wonky for a while. I doubt that’s a problem for anyone considering the aforementioned extended hiatus, but this is just a heads up nonetheless.

(or anyone else interested in classical languages and civilizations!)
Two items have come across my desk recently. The first is a series of teleconferencing lectures and a Herodotus reading group, in honor of the anniversary of the Battle of Marathon:
Marathon2500 2010-2011 Lecture Series:
First live, phone-based lecture by Paul Cartledge at NYU on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM.
A non-profit organization called Reading Odyssey is sponsoring this innovative, free program called Marathon2500. It is a celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Marathon involving the formation of reading groups that will read each book of Herodotus over the coming school year, augmented by phone-based lectures from distinguished classical scholars including Paul Cartledge (see above) and others.

The second event is SCRIBO, an international Latin composition contest. The concept is to give students of all ages/ability levels the opportunity to compose original short stories in Latin, the winning entries of which will then to be available for Latin teachers to use in their classrooms. Definitely a very cool idea! (Via.)
