project idea (possibly using AI): record a take of songs from old sheet music books
Starting with something like the Grange book of sheet music below and record them ... Apparently the music can get to midi via Play Score 2, and other programs can could sing the lyrics.
or better yet, if anyone wants to perform the songs and upload them to the archive, you could link it into a review of the book.

Submitting to an academic conference and once more am completely amazed that people who call themselves academic technologists use LaTeX to make PDFs to communicate their research. This is by far the worst widely-adopted software I've ever used, and I really hope I don't ever use it again. Awful nonsense, which I think is only still in use for the purposes of gatekeeping other disciplines away from interacting with computer science.
Not until Spring training in Feb or March, unfortunately. #Wordle
