New Online Version of the Bosworth and Toller Old English Dictionary
You might be interested in the latest digital version of the Bosworth and Toller Old English Dictionary:
Ondřej Tichý, who maintains the site, is a friend of mine from the ISAS digital workshop last summer.
If you have used one of the other digital Bosworth and Tollers online, you will be happy to find this one has vastly greater search capabilities. For instance, you can used the advanced search to find all words that contain a particular root (I experience a brief period of euphoria when I search for 'mod'; that was a lie: I am still in that state of euphoria after a good hour), and you can search not only head words, but also definitions (helpful if you want to throw the occasional Old English into your Facebook status update).
I also posted a link on the MEGSE website, along with links to the other two digital alternatives:

Visiting Scholar Dr. Chauncey Wood Gives Two Presentations: One Scholarly, One Professional
Visiting Scholar Dr. Chauncey Wood gave two presentations today. The first, "Developing the Research Component of Your Career," part of the English Graduate Student Association's lunchtime lecture series, provided practical advice for students concerned about publishing. The second, "Observation in the Flesh; Observation in the Spirit: The 'Duplex Sentence' of Chaucer's Characterization," covered some interesting observations about the history of Chaucer scholarship. Professor Wood is currently visiting UNM, teaching a graduate seminar on Chaucer.

Beowulf: Prince of the Geats
The Medieval Studies Student Association will be showing a medieval themed movie during the medieval themed homecoming week. The showing will take place on October 22 at 6PM, in SUB Fiesta Room A&B.
We are very happy to announce that we have been granted the rights to show the film Beowulf: Prince of the Geats. Scott Wegener, the producer of the film, has generously granted us these rights with no charge. This film, which Wegener describes as "not the typical Hollywood production" and has earned two regional Emmy Award nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, was produced with a zero budget and all profits will be donated to the American and Norwegian Cancer societies. At Mr. Wegener's request, we will be collecting donations for the American Cancer society at the event. You can read more about the film and its anti-cancer mission here: http://www.princeofthegeats.com/.
After the film, MSSA members will lead a discussion on the film and on the portrayal of the medieval world in film. You can read about the event on the MSSA website: http://mssa.unm.edu/homecoming2009.htm.
