I remember seeing a poster in McDonalds saying "more than just a McJob," and listing the starting manager's salary, and I thought "Well, if this archaeology lark doesn't work out..."

Had to look it up - McDonalds still thriving. Staples, not so much...

Macromedia Flash! How much thesis-writing time did I waste playing minigolf on my ol' Fujitsu-Semiens laptop? (Bought day 2 in Glasgow at the Staples in Finnieston - got there too early, and had to kill an hour in McDonalds). That's how much memory I have associated with the term 'Macromedia Flash'.

A gorgeous portrait of the White House entirely aflame, the smoke billowing and the flames lighting up the night sky. It sparks deep patriotic ferver. This is what democracy looks like. Also there's a white button with blue text below the portrait. The text reads "Learn more" and if clicked it takes you to the menu of a local brewhouse.

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

It's like: we could go to the pub and each have a pint, or we could pool our money together, go to the Maryhill Tesco, and be set for the night!

Colin Renfrew has passed away. A hugely influential figure in archaeology throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries.
Here are a few photos of him from about 15years ago, when I was working on his Keros Project.

I think you have single handed-ly invented the black screen. Green screen, you're on notice.
