As previously announced, I had the privilege of presenting the Open Scriptures project at BibleTech:2009. Multimedia of the talk is available:

I haven’t formally announced this here yet, but there is a newly designed Open Scriptures website with blog. Future posts regarding Open Scriptures will be posted there. There are two new posts, the first regarding the recently-unveiled exciting Tagged Tanakh project, and the second about redeeming the ill-fated Re:Greek Open Source Initiative with a call for participation. Check them out and subscribe to the feed.

Please also follow Open Scriptures on Twitter.

Join in on the discussion on the Google Group.

This morning I got inspired to go over some relatively old stuff that I worked on in college. There are several linguistics projects that I think are pretty interesting (the first three especially):

• Phonological Analysis of a Second Language
• Arabic Phonemes Represented by the Spanish Letter “J”
• Indo-European Cognates in Psalm 23 and the Beatitudes
• El alfabeto árabe
• Hamlet Word Origin Study
• Indo-European Word History of plek

And then I found an old chart I made of my racial makup.

And then there is a little web app for SPU’s Nickerson Signal which attempts to model a traffic signal so that upcoming crossing times can be predicted. (Didn’t end up accurately modeling reality.)

And finally there is the Semantic Linking tool (mentioned in my last post) which is a prototype for an upcoming tool which enables contributors to link the semantic units between manuscripts and translations.
