A brief site update: Lately, I’ve been so busy teaching linguistics and writing linguistics that I’ve not had as much time or energy for posting linguistics here (although I do have a few posts on the back-burner). Instead of writing posts about language, I’ve been learning a great deal around the internet and in my other areas of passion which I want to share, both because some readers may find it interesting, and because I want Googlers to be able to find some of the solutions I’ve come up with. So, rather than diluting an otherwise quite linguistic blog with posts about my other interests (computers, software, music), I’ve instead started a new and (slightly) different blog: The Non-Linguistic Mystic (which you can find at non.linguisticmystic.com).

This site will be my space to post about things which, although hopefully still interesting to my readers, are not at all linguistic in nature. That way, people interested in the language blog can look here, people interested in a technology and music blog can look there, and everybody can be happy. Aalthough I’ve moved my review and followup of OS X “Lion” over to the new site, and nothing will change in any significant way over here.

On the other hand, if you are interested in technology, software, computing, music, and whatever else I choose to write about, make sure and check out the Non-Linguistic Mystic!

I’ve been incredibly busy of late with teaching, but I’ve got a pinboard.in account and have begun adding new linguistics-related bookmarks there, as both a resource for my students and for my own enjoyment.

If you’re interested, check out:

My Linguistics Bookmarks

My Phonetics/Phonology Bookmarks

My Natural Language Processing Bookmarks

Thanks, and I hope you all are enjoying your linguistic lives!

Just a quick note. For those of you who are early adopters moving over to OS X 10.7 “Lion”, the method described in my previous tutorial on using IPA fonts with Mac OS X still works and produces good results on Lion.

For what it’s worth, Praat (5.2.29) works just fine as well. :)

So, go forth and Lionize your Mac without phonetic phear.

EDIT: But Lion does hide the library folder. In order to install the keyboard layout, you’ll need to unhide the ~/Library folder or to access it using the Finder’s “Go to folder” option.
