The Internet Archive now has so many books (including in the pipeline) it's becoming difficult to find unscanned books. If you have a pile of books you're not sure you want to keep around, use this app to scan your books and find out if we want it.

Lots happening, check it out.
I remember the kerfuffle over the mandate for motorcycle helmets in California. There were (small) demonstrations of (literally) diehards protesting their right to splatter their skulls on public highways, regardless of the cost to the public to clean up the mess.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Larry!" felt like a valentine card. In the spirit of an old friend @interlisp8
Seatbelts and airbags in cars and helmets for bicyclists and motorcyclists: they have mandates; people understand that they "work" even though they don't prevent injury or death, some work better than others.
Why are vaccines and masks so different?

Preserving software by making it live again.
Nice to see the work we've done (@SoftPresNetwork, @KendraSerra, @paufder, @amteitler, Peter Jaszi, me, and more) in the WaPo! Not as clear as it could be, IMO, but no such thing as bad publicity for #copyright potentially creating a digital dark-age. washingtonpost.com/video-gam…
This one is even better
Retro projects are often extremely toxic, but here they're taking care to set up a modern dev community (Zoom calls, code of conduct), enhancing docs, publishing a thorough annual report, and preserving "legacy" versions of the software too. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

A new favorite project: People from 1970s PARC + PARC-adjacent folks are carefully restoring/gently modernizing the Medley Interlisp system, a Lisp OS that ran on the Xerox D-machines, so that it can run on a modern VM on any OS. interlisp.org/
💖 I'm sponsoring @interlisp8 because… github.com/sponsors/Interlis… it's a fun project for all to enjoy 🥳
