Found this at a Free Book Fair held by great local used bookstore Page 42 (www.page42bookstore.com). It was in a box of random media and I grabbed it because, why not?
No cartridge, but...it had the original owner's painstakingly hand-drawn level maps on graph paper, including coffee (?) stains. They even have added coordinates for easy referencing.
I have seen so many rotary phones that it’s hard sometimes to imagine an alternative to that interface. But here’s one – a “Trommelwähler” (drum dialer) from Germany, model Fg Tist 264.
(Apparently it wasn’t very successful.)
I think I know for sure now that my transformation into a historian is now complete, because I read this (very good and timely, to be clear!) package of stories and still thought, "Would it be too much to ask to historicize this wave of events beyond the mid-2010s? With, y'know, a history book?"
I have, I fear, become my academic parents.

A visual and textual browser/search for BYTE magazine. Clever way to present this vast amount of printed material!
Based on this news, are there any significant LGBTQ-related blogs that might be a good candidate for preservation? I'm hoping to connect with blog owners to organize preservation for the Queer Digital History Project prior to the September deadline.
