I'm working on an essay about something that happened 20 years ago. While Google's front page is sparse, digging into the blogosphere with a little help from #InternetArchive, the full story is preserved. A story that perhaps some would prefer be lost in history.
Shoutout to the archivists and aggregators—the people who have the foresight to know when tech history is happening, so they round up all the relevant blog posts, news articles, and socials.
Y'all are the unsung heroes of the web. Understanding tech history means not making the same mistakes. Without our archivists and aggregators so much of that history would be lost to dead links and buried under #Google's SERP. Thank you.
The #livestream doesn’t stop when we're off for the holiday or weekend. 
When the microfiche scanning team powers down overnight & on weekends, the feed keeps on keeping on, shifting to silent films, home movies & other gems from the #InternetArchive.

It's Saturday night and I seem to be attempting to upload various large directories full of flat copy pics to the #InternetArchive. Better than agonising over colour correction, by this point, I think. Someone can always do more work on them later, surely! (They won't of course.)

For the discerning connoisseur, there is a wide selection of video noise available under an assortment of free-licenses on the Internet Archive.
I got a nice sampling of PD, CC-0, and CC-By licensed static and glitches, evocative of various, largely defunct video storage mechanisms.
For reasons...

About 3 hours left in our Internet Archive fundraiser! The IA preserves over 99 petabytes of data... Which is a lot. I'm sure this kitty can comprehend the scale better than me~
Donate to the IA, use our form to suggest a topic before 11:59 EST, and we'll find a cool thing in the IA on that topic to put in our zine! https://archivezine.org/#donate

Thanks for posting this. It’s interesting to see Raskin use ‘Humane’ to describe his user intereface vision in his then forthcoming book ‘The Humane Interface’ (2000) — and again thank you for including the book’s #internetarchive link.

How Radio Carried the News of D-Day: Broadcasts from June 6, 1944

New blog article
I’ve recently put together an improved version of my #Platypush + #Wallabag + #MercuryReader + #InternetArchive solution to scrape and archive articles.
So far it seems to work with nearly any major news website and blogging platform that I regularly read, so it’s the most likely candidate to replace solutions like 12ft / 13ft that have been broken for a while, at least for me (maybe I could put all these scripts together and call it 14ft?)
I don’t support piracy when it harms creators, but if buying ain’t owning then piracy ain’t stealing. But always remember to support your creators through other means.
