Hiya! So... I've been developing a quick search widget for the Digital Public Library of America (http://dp.la) with some coding on Friday and Sunday. The DPLA being an organization that aims to be a central place to discover digital resources throughout the United States. As some organizations wanted a canned search box that they could place on their site, the bit of hacking I did (with contributions from two other developers) is simply: https://github.com/scande3/dpla-discovery.

Boring blog so far, right? Well, I was playing around with some test search terms to check results during lunch and decided to do a search on the word "Starcraft". The first result seemed promising with an exact title match! Sadly, it seems to be nothing more than a book on Astronomy. I'll forgive the author as he did write it back in 1938 and couldn't have known the man-made masterpiece to come by the same name.

The next few results are for a text titled: Leechdoms, wortcunning, and starcraft of early England : Being a collection of documents, for the most part never before printed, illustrating the history of science in this country before the Norman conquest. No mention of Battle Cruisers, Reavers, Lurkers to be found here. Blah. ><

The last result, and the only result related to what I meant by my search, was a thesis. A relatively interesting thesis done by none other than Day[9] that analyzes his TV station. A quick search did not reveal it being posted anywhere before (I could have missed the correct search terms) and figured I'd do a quick blog to share the unexpected discovery. Below is a quote if curious and the link is: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/ref/collection/p15799coll127/id/456243. Interesting what gets aggregated (though surprising how few modern topics have been made available digitally).

In spite of its press, Day[9]TV was not an overnight internet sensation.

In fact, the host had put down roots in the gaming community at least ten years
earlier—when StarCraft Broodwar was first released. During that decade, he was a
frequent contributor to gaming forums, including TeamLiquid.net, gosugamers.net and
broodwar.com and was also a member of a number of gaming “clans,” including “rS gaming”
and “MYM.” Because the host was known and trusted by the StarCraft community, and
because he had established a voice and a persona in text-based forums, he had a platform
from which he could effectively launch the initiative that became the Day[9] Daily.

Didn't know that Day9 had done his master's thesis on his channel! Interesting.

Absolutely fascinating. A must-read for anyone who hopes to establish themselves as an e-sports personality.
