It's my birthday and the world isn't fooling around, but we can do our best to help out the most vulnerable.
So help each other, be weird, have awe, sing, dance and be human!

LinkIt's live! loving your anecdotes and the narration by @yeahrightpos
I do think it's time for an at-home 'Summer Splash Party' where we put on our swim gear and dance to disco 🕺💃.
(check out the clip at 20:24!)
Thank you Dominik, I have been blessed with a treasure of digital memories to rediscover and share. So glad that you were able to enjoy my journey through the archives.
According to this interview with R.U. Sirius
"Howard Rheingold swears that he’s Michael Wilson, who was involved in the development of the TV show Burn Notice..."

Any of the Chrome folks want to figure out why SameSIte cookies are making
it impossible to add inline images in gmail compose?

Looks like it's more than just Googlers:
Something about these times that I feel your loss as my own. 💔
Thank you for connecting the community and being there for everyone, as Ralph was there for you.

Hey kids, this is what live music was like back before the pandemic.

We'll all probably remember the first friend who contracted COVID-19. For me that's Andrea. She wrote about it on her Tinyletter.
Please read, if only to prepare yourself for what is to come.

Not to be grim about it but everyone may want to consider doing your paperwork for medical power of attorney and/or a health directive. At the very least partners should consider adding each other as trusted "https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/health-wellness/life-care-plan/choose-agent" (which is what Kaiser calls it). You'd be able to access tests and communicate with Doctors on behalf of each other.
Having gone through this I feel very fortunate that I was able to make medical decisions for another and knew what the right thing was to do.
Thank you for letting me share Julie's memories, tacky postcards and all, with everyone.
If anyone reading this has suffered a similar loss, please feel free to reach out for a sympathetic ear or for help finding memories in the archives. DMs open.
Actually with some tweaks I got all the grunge list content I was looking for!
Still think it would be awesome if the backup tapes were found. @herf wrote a great article about the lyrics part of the site:

Thank you for your sympathy and for all the work you've done to make @PerkeepOrg into a such a useful tool for personal digital preservation.
Honored that I was able to tell my story of restoration and healing on the @internetarchive blog today.
Thank you @whanamura and the IA team for your compassion and for preserving so many cherished memories of my life with @jflindner.

Love. Loss. Memory. These are the reflections of @lindner who found himself turning from husband to historian after his wife Julie died last December. Paul's journey resonates for all of us who have lost someone we love. https://blog.archive.org/2020/03/19/love-loss-and-archives/pic.twitter.com/cWxwOjussg
LinkAha. swore that I already checked. So yay!
But sadly... many/most of the leaf pages are empty or truncated. So sad :(
The quest continues!
A challenge to the data hoarders out there. Find the contents of the amazing music archive that one lived at archive.uwp.edu (FTP or Gopher) and was mirrored to mirrors.aol.com.
@textfiles - didn't see it in the boneyard. Ideas?

Really should do something with my makamaka.me domain which I shelved when I realized that I was using AGPL software...
I ended up just contributing to the Mastodon Patreon and joined https://social.coop/
[also looks like go/makamaka still works!!!]
Trying to talk sense into my 84 year old father in law, who has a number of health issues...
"I lived through the real bad polio epidemic, and in our small circle of friends there 5 cases and one close friend died. We do not know one person with virus! This said I'll still be very careful."

2001/2008 vibes
Walking through an empty office took me back to 2001 as I survived seven layoffs and three office moves at Critical Path. Serious triggering moment.
Recommend that folks have a Plan B, and start building support networks now.
The whole global economy is fragile and over-leveraged, and we've already used up most financial engineering tools available in 2008.
US folks should consider updating wageworks for commuter benefits.
I found out the hard way that Clipper has a max accumulation of BART passes...
Stress Break
Relax with some therapy farm animals.. Almost makes twitter worth it.. almost.
The end times approach. Gopher protocol over HTTP and support for TLS.
But seriously I now have the weirdest Masto timeline with Adam Curry NoAgenda Show folks and retro-hacker Gopher Protocol people.

We've all been there, on the tenth page of search results, not finding what you're looking for. This is a whole 'nother level. Loved it.
