I’m pleased to note that I have been appointed to the advisory board of Cambridge Shakespeare Editions, joining a list of much worthier advisors. I look forward to supporting an editorial tradition that has done so much for myself and so many others. Link: cambridge.org/core/browse-su…

Try our new Prattle game, inspired by Wordle, and discover which words Shakespeare used (and didn't use) in his works.

Introducing PRATTLE, a new word game from the Folger! Guess words and names from Shakespeare's works. Play again and again with "random" mode, and stretch your vocabulary with words from 4 – 11 letters long! bit.ly/3sDwyTQ

You can defeat most #Wordle rounds with these 5 guesses, which should reveal 5 letters almost every time. They use 21 letters (the remaining 5 each appear in less than 1% of English words).
P.S. The first word is not a Pavlovian test -- it uses 4 of the 8 most-used consonants.

Microsoft Outlook generally hates me, but at least it agrees with the correct spelling of "e-mail."

Microsoft Windows now has a weather widget on the task bar, often with a mini-forecast. This prediction is my favorite so far. Does the widget ever think it *won't* stop? If not, what will it say? "Build an ark"?

Looking forward to presenting at the Blackfriars Conference at the end of October. But I'm even happier that that conference itself will happen, and that the American Shakespeare Center (@shakespearectr) remains open.

Maybe you already know about this tool, but if you have to plan meetings across time zones, this is much better than trying to visualize the time differences in your head.

The Folger Shakespeare Editions are being translated by Iranian scholar Professor Ali Salami, marking the first time many of the works have been translated into Persian. Read about it at the @FolgerLibrary's Collation blog.

And by "Collation," I meant Shakespeare & Beyond. Apologies for the error, but do read the blog post anyway!

Janet Griffin, @FolgerLibrary's artistic director and head of public programs, is stepping down after a remarkable 41 years. This article is a lovely tribute to a gracious friend and colleague.

If the UK is going to name an aircraft after a Shakespeare play, "Tempest" is indeed a solid choice. Certainly much better than "Two Gentlemen of Verona."

Classical social distancing: the soldiers are spaced 6' apart in one of many fold-out illustrations accompanying this military treatise by Aelianus Tacticus, a 2nd-century writer who was studied by early modern military commanders.
