One of the reasons the web continues to fascinate me, and it does, lies in its capacity to surprise me.\u00a0 I read an article in the Economist about Internet Archives<\/a>.\u00a0 This is an astonishing effort spearheaded by one man to make the worlds information available on the web.\u00a0 You may have heard of the Wayback machine, a way of finding lost or neglected websites, but this project has so much more.\u00a0 It has a lot of live music, an especially active Grateful Dead collection.\u00a0 It has moving images, including commercials, a quick entre to marketing and cultural cues of the near past.\u00a0 It also has an incredible number of texts, complete and free.\u00a0 Worth a look.<\/p>\n I’ve not had a tour since mid-December.\u00a0 While I enjoy the down time, I do feel disconnected from the museum.\u00a0 There’s a tendency, living this far out, to hunker down, particularly in bad weather.\u00a0 I’m not as comfortable as I used to be heading out in snowy, icy conditions and that contributes to the hibernation.\u00a0 As I’ve written before, this all helps the writing, getting into a rhythm, focus.\u00a0 That’s true, but I miss the connection with both the art and my fellow docents.\u00a0 They have become an important part of my life, one of the social pillars for me.\u00a0 So, I look forward to getting back at it in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Winter\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Waning Moon of Long Nights One of the reasons the web continues to fascinate me, and it does, lies in its capacity to surprise me.\u00a0 I read an article in the Economist about Internet Archives.\u00a0 This is an astonishing effort spearheaded by one man to make the worlds information available on the web.\u00a0 You … Continue reading connections<\/span>
