The camera that we moved was a small handheld just for portability. Ended up not using that data as much since little interaction happened off camera (just picking up ingredients and washing hands).

Stability, connectivity, and detail were the key factors for us.

The main cameras were camcorders (4k JVCs) that we got for their good rep for detail and quality. We needed to be able to capture detailed movements and facial expressions (esp. through masks - COVID times), and they had inputs for external mics, which made it easier when mixing the vids and audio

I recorded cooking classes. 3 steady cameras at different angles (I called them N, E, and SW based on their placement in the room), each with RØDE wearable wireless mics on all participants, and one handheld camera to follow when they had to move out of the scene. Extra voice recorders for backup.

Rubio said "we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline".
Yeah. You're clearly being as disrespectful and destructive as possible. And you sure ain't "caretaking" shit... you're pushing everything positive about our alliances off a cliff.

Deborah Cameron obituary Linguist, feminist activist and author of influential books on how language can shape gendered experiences

Sad to hear that Deborah Cameron has passed (at a rather young age at that). She was highly influential in the field of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, and was one of the first people I read early on who helped draw attention to criticality in discourse.

This wasn't the first Dylan song I learned as a kid (Blowing in the Wind), and it wasn't my favorite (My Back Pages), but it was the first to really make an impact on me for some reason.

A cover of Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me". I did all vocals and instruments (though cheated on the drums by using finger drums - no option for a real kit in my tiny apartment).

Thanks! That one has been sitting in my "to read" folder for the project for awhile, but I haven't quite reached it yet.

Just wanted to see what folks thought. I'm digging through the deontics lit right now (and just came across Stivers & Rossano 2010 - I'm embarrassingly late to find that one!), but the attentiveness aspect is still causing me issues on the project I'm working on.

Or how about a significant other giving minimal continuers during a story (but while turn-taking has been suspended for the story, so no substantive response is actually due)? Are continuers, newsmarkers, assessments and the like *conditionally relevant*? Does some other norm make this accountable?

But how about the student fiddling with their phone while a teacher talks (but not necessarily asking questions)? Is embodied attentiveness considered to be *conditionally relevant*? Or is this a matter of deontics - a teacher can command (heh heh, as if!) attention by dint of the relational pair?

Part of this has to do with conditional relevance - if a conditionally relevant response doesn't come up in a timely manner, that's accountable. And this is perhaps the easiest way for a participant to determine whether someone is paying attention.

We all recognize attentiveness can be accountable, and lack thereof is sanctionable. Students in a classroom fiddling around. A significant other not really giving appropriate response tokens at the right place.

Reaching out to #EMCA folks.
I'm trying to work my head around an issue: the accountability of attentiveness. I've yet to find a source specifically about this, but some bits and pieces are starting to come together.

If you have a few minutes, please watch Carney's speech at Davos. He is speaking the truth about international cooperation or the lack thereof, and is taking a risk in doing so.

Google Map image of Washington State with Native American reservations marked.

Something I've never noticed before but *seems* to be a positive(?) move: Native American reservations are now listed on Google Maps.

I'm curious what people (particularly people who actually have a stake in this representation) feel about it.

I introduced my 4th year student who is using MCA to analyze discourse surrounding DEI to Jack Bilmes' occasioned semantics and taxonomy work, and she immediately started applying his way of visualizing the ideas to her thesis. I gotta say, it brings a happy tear to my eye to see it.

A nice look back at Labov's "Department Store" study (one of the foundational sociolinguistic studies) by one of his last students. If you're a linguist or have learned about the study in a linguistics class, this is worth a watch.

When research is largely written by AI, only to be read by AI, what "new knowledge" will actually mean anything? And will the effect that has on the publish or perish paradigm be a positive or negative thing?

I'm a huge music theory geek, and in my own songs try to get this level of complexity w/o making it too obvious. I love how Paul Simon did it without drawing attention to it (except in the Cavett interview).

I watched this last night. Those chord changes and the sophistication in that song have always gotten me, but I had never thought about how he ended up using all 12 notes of the western system in the song.
