  1. Computer Beach Party … PART ONE
    I like to think that when people funded my sabbatical, this was the sort of thing they wanted. During ROFLcon, there was a showing at the local movie theater of a rather rare, rather bizarre little computer film.  I’d have thought I’d seen most films with computers in them.  Or, at least, heard of them.

  2. ROFLcon USENET Panel
    When the organizers of ROFLcon decided to go another round with a multi-day presentation of internet-related memes, celebrities and issues, I had an opportunity to assemble a panel on a subject I thought worth covering. I chose USENET.  Months later, my panel plans came to fruition, and I think came out pretty well. Naturally, when [...] Related posts:

  3. Speaking at Shmoocon 2010: ARCHIVE TEAM!
    I have had a talk accepted for Shmoocon 2010, held in Washington DC on February 5-7. The topic, I’m happy to say, will be Archive Team, that little project I got wrapped into earlier this year. This was a talk I had proposed for CCC 26, but their absolutely terrible paper submission site gave me [...] Related posts:

  4. Unpublished Article on Geocities
    I was asked by someone working for a Very Big Newspaper to write something to appear in the Very Big Newspaper.  Told I needed it in within a couple days and definitely by morning of a Thursday, I pulled an all-nighter and composed the writing as well as ensuring Geociti.es had a copy. It is [...] Related posts:

  5. Archive Team: Pssst, Want Some MIDI?
    Hey, remember those MIDI backgrounds so popular on some websites over the years? Sometimes the songs were great. Sometimes they really weren’t. For some people, the sound of “My Heart Will Go On” playing over a memorial site or “Crazy” (by Patsy Cline) playing over your personal weblog page was the height of tacky. For [...] Related posts:

  6. A Short History of Spelling Things R0ng
    This happens more than it should: I am engaged in a roundabout fashion with a person or persons whose work parallels/compliments mine, I acknowledge they’re doing good work, whatever it is, but I don’t just sit down and sift through their work. I have no idea why this happens. Jealousy? Fear of copying good ideas? [...] Related posts:

  7. Geocities Saved!
    OK, so here’s the high-level report: We Saved Geocities! Obviously, this needs a truckload of qualifications, so let’s go over them immediately. First of all “We” is not just Archive Team, badass archivist motherfuckers that we are. While probably 30-40 people from around the world stopped in on the Archive Team tent at the Geocitiesdownloadapalooza, [...] Related posts:

  8. Geocities RIP
    I am sure we all laughed at the end, there, when one of the members of Archive Team, slaving like the rest of us to yank data out, suggested a link to a Geocities page with a MIDI of “The Final Countdown” by Europe.  The perfect tinny music to blast out of the speakers as [...] Related posts:

  9. Please Help Me Fund a Sabbatical
    All my favorite are the ideas that terrify me. Sometimes the terrifying idea is understandably terrifying – other times it’s just so many different ways of thinking about stuff that I’m lost in the possibilities. I think this is the second one. Basically, I’m reaching out to my fanbase and saying “Please help me work [...] Related posts:

  10. Archive Team: Under Construction
    We’re nowhere near done with the absorbing of as much of Geocities as we can take, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a little time to show off the kind of stuff that’s being scooped up in great handfuls by the machinery. Among these things are the idea of the “Under Construction” graphic, a [...] Related posts:
