    Notes
    Exhausted from election 2024 and tired of re-litigating the 2016 primary? Perhaps you'd enjoy re-visiting The Race for the Whitehouse 2004 or 2000 in their original web 1.0 glory. Too soon? The 1996 websites for the Dole/Kemp and Clinton/Gore campaigns are still online. Too political? Maybe you want to play Star Ship Titanic (1998) or Space Jam (1996), both preserved in high resolution 1024x768 perfection. Or relax with zombo.com (1999), spork.org (1996) and milk.com (1994). These are all reminders that Cool URI's don't change on the WWW project (1991).

  • Demoscene - The Art of the Algorithms | MetaFilter
    Notes
    Wired called them, digital graffiti and John Carmack spoke of them at QuakeCon 2011 but they remain little known. A recently released full-length documentary (download) gives a portrait of the creative digital subculture from 80s to the present day.

    Notes
    I'm walking distance to Santana Row. Weird. "San Jose's Santana Row, which at first glance seemed no more than a Beverly Center you can live in, is now being compared favorably to urban European living."

    I totally hadn't heard about this Jabber server! 'your existing MeFi login (you might need to add "@metafilter.com" in your username field, depending on the jabber client)'
