James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Now I want to make my own theme, too. Thanks for sharing! 😊 010
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is something I usually show students as part of the first day when we’re in RStudio together. Personalizing the IDE makes it less intimidating! 140

James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026In addition to national impact, the project lets you explore major programs in your state across 17 sectors.

James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Today States United and Grant Witness launched Lost Funds, a project tracking federal funding disruptions and the impacts they’ve had in states and communities across the country.

James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I’m also very pleased with the elegant interface for functions like `italicize_titles()`, which works with both tables and figures. Check out more in the getting started page: jmclawson.github.io/tmtyro/artic... #RStats 020
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Super excited to share the 0.6 update to my R package for text mining. Designed for students new to #RStats (and text mining), it’s nevertheless what I use in my own work. This update packs in a ton, but my favorite new features are methods logging and labels. jmclawson.github.io/tmtyro/news/... 1144
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 30/10/2025I also made a pretty basic Shiny app for loading, manipulating, measuring, and visualizing network data. It’s a little like Gephi Lite in the browser. Here’s the link: jmclawson.shinyapps.io/data_network...jmclawson.shinyapps.ioNodes 000

James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Choo choo! An update with mapping adds current locations of trains heading to the station. 🚊 (Leaflet is *amazing* and Stamen's Toner maps look so good on device!) 010

James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Building a #Shiny app with #RStats to track real-time train arrivals at my local station was satisfying and did the job I wanted. But getting a small touchscreen to have it all run locally on an unused #RaspberryPi makes it *unspeakably* enjoyable. I made a useful toy! 4231
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 24/09/2025🚨 New publication alert! My latest blog post shares findings from my work on Lawrence Durrell’s style—plus a correction or two 🙈 #DigitalHumanities jmclawson.net/posts/2025-0... 010
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Python has the Great Tables package with similar syntax to R’s gt package: posit-dev.github.io/great-tables... For both, you can add column-spanning values (like “equation form vs…” in the image) using `tab_spanner()`posit-dev.github.iointro – great_tables 020
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Additionally, continue to plan regular video dates, whatever that means for you: Cook together or order favorites to eat together… Watch TV shows (either with video chat on silent or checking back in after the episode)… Share a crafting hobby like Legos or knitting or painting. 010
James Clawson @jmclawson.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Seconded on the video calls. Makes all the difference to see each other regularly (and it’s a better audio quality than phone calls). 110
