I did consulting work for a digital humanities group, producing a python library for text processing and a visualization for the corpus. The project was to figure how far away words for the Gods were from words for punishment in ancient Chinese texts. You can view a working version of the visualization here.

For this year, the editors wanted business cards they could actually do something with other than just hand them out.
