My afternoon took a turn when I came across this barred owl. Took it to the local rescue, he had enough energy to be indignant so fingers crossed.

The first day of classes is upon us, and I'm excited to be teaching a new version of my Critical Making course with an emphasis on thinking about voice and intention through multimodal expressions. Initial syllabus here, but the exercises will be updated as I go: anastasiasalter.net/CriticalMaki...

My new book Undertale: Can a Game Give Hope? is out today from the @uchicagopress.bsky.social Replay series, which is dedicated to short, personal takes on games. I hope it invites readers to visit (or revisit) the Underground and befriend some fabulous monsters. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

First day of our fall contracts. I get tired of thinking this is going to be the worst year of my career in higher education, but here we are again. Seemed like a good night for a theme park.

Built the next two weeks in my Humanities AI class using Claude artifacts as an entry into distant coding and AI integration into all interfaces - we'll be building two flavors of recommendation systems, with and without AI. anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI... + anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI...

This leads right into my week eight assignment, looking at how AI images have become inescapable on most platforms and make it difficult to find "real" objects. Yes, this is partially about my annoyance with AI-generated embroidery. #dhmakes

Building out the generative video week for my Humanities in the Age of AI class, and I needed to update my samples to discuss changing capabilities so I gave Veo 3 a try. This one uses a Wikimedia image of our campus as the source material. anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI...

Taking lots of inspiration from #elo25 as I rebuild my Humanities in the Age of AI grad course for this fall. I updated week two to take advantage of Claude's easy artifact sharing and bring students into playing with text and code together: anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI... #dhmakes
