Had a super great discussion last night on the future of archive. All started with the death of Polaroid, which led to shoeboxes full of photos and 8mm movie reels. Where will your photos (hard drive) be in 5 years, 10 years, 50 years? Does Flickr really care about my precious family pictures? What is the future of YouTube?  People blog and share minutia on FaceBook ’til the cows come home, but is the internet a reliable document? No–DUH! All conjecture of course, but something to ponder for sure. I love archive.org and see now that they have absorbed the WaybackMachine which is super fun(and kinda scary).

All being said, I love all the “how to” stuff that one can now reference online:

How to Kiss

Be a good boyfriend (#1 put the toilet seat down- check!)

Grill an Amazing Vegan Meal

Mmmmm seitan!
