Attn: Edmonton friends
Some coworkers and I are working in conjunction with the Children’s Wish foundation to sponsor a 15-year-old local kid named Kyle with Cerebral Palsy. Kyle had both of his kidneys removed last year due to complications and as a result goes to dialysis 3x week. If you can help Gap’s Edmonton outpost raise $10,000, he can go to Disneyland to fulfill his dream of meeting Mickey Mouse. Additionally, Gap’s corporate donation matching plan will effectively double any donation you make over $20. Please consider taking the time to throw a little money Kyle’s way.
Thank you!
And if you can’t donate, at least consider sharing this post; you never know who you’ll reach.

It’s 6:45am and I’ve already called someone a cunt.
Can we just call it a day?!
The process of recovering files from the early digital age is going to be a fascinating part of our future archives.
On February 4, 1992, Jonathan Larson saved a Microsoft Word document that grew, over four years, to become the musical RENT. Although Larson saved and resaved the file multiple times, at least some of the earlier drafts can be recovered thanks to Larson’s personal archival practices and a feature called “fast save” that was embedded in his copy of Microsoft Word 5.1. In this talk, Doug Reside, Digital Curator at the Library for the Performing Arts, will discuss the process he used to recover these early drafts and what his process suggests for the work of curators, scholars, and archivists in the future.
