This week marks Folderol's eighth birthday. Yes, this has been around (in various forms) since April 2000. Yikes! Many thanks to everyone who has read, contributed, and encouraged the weblog and its writer over the years!
More and more institutions are getting into the concept of putting materials online for the common people to see. The Boston Public Library has a Flickr site, and the Scottish Screen Archive is filled with weird wonders.
Georgia Tech has put up some great old ads from its student publications and yearbooks. Looking at the book ads, some textbooks could put you back as much as $2.00. Heavens!
The Silent Era celebrates the films that the Georgia Tech students (along with everyone else) saw, back in the day.
The National Inventors Hall of Fame has announced its 2008 inductees. Random factoid: I used to live near this particular Hall of Fame.
Silobreaker is another news aggregate site, like Google News or Yahoo News, but what makes it different is the graphical representations. I really like the network search interface in particular.
Congrats on your 8 years! I'm very proud of you!
P.s. you realize that means we've been together for 9 years already? Wow...time flies when you're having a blast!
I can still smell the virtual champange(sp)from Folerol's 7th birthday!
My garsh, we have been friends for a decade now. Wow.
Here's to another 8 years of blogging, hopefully more!
I also wonder: Is it possible that you've now linked to every good site on the Web? Or have you been stealthily recycling?
