1.) My doctoral supervisor Sally Bayley is writing a book called The Private Life of the Diary, from Pepys to Tweets and is publishing through publishing house de jour Unbound. It's one which is pledge-based. Find out more about the fascinating-sounding book...
2.) I can't remember whether or not I've shared this video before, but it's by one of the vloggers I sometimes watch (kickthepj) and an example of how creative young 'content makers' can be...
3.) I wrote the rules for a lolcat geneator on the OxfordWords blog, believe it or not.
4.) The Thomas family made their annual Christmas Show outing... in a Dickensian Great British Bake Off.
5.) Maggie Smith Festival at the BFI. I'm hopefully going to something in the new year... maybe The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, which means I need to get busy and read the book first.
6.) And I've hit my 2000th post! In fact, I think this is the 2004th. Gracious!
sme great piece your supervisors book sounds interesting tweets really are the new diary in a way
