Project Gutenberg is one of those places that exemplifies what the internet was initially all about: studying, preserving, and celebrating the arts, especially the written word, and Greg Newby was a huge part of that.

Thank you, Greg, and rest well.

Along with 14 other scholars, archivists, designers, business leaders, and engineers I shared my thoughts on DEEP TIME DATA ARCHIVES for the @harvardlil.bsky.social Generational Data project with @maxy.bsky.social and Clare Stanton.

What data, if any, should be stored for a century? Who decides? 💎

CHOTINER: And you spent twenty years on the first one?
BRAHMS: I wanted it to be perfect.
CHOTINER: But it wasn't.
BRAHMS: What?
CHOTINER: You revised it.

CHOTINER: So you wrote how many symphonies?
BRAHMS: Four
CHOTINER: And Beethoven wrote nine
BRAHMS: Well, yes, but—
CHOTINER: Mozart wrote over forty
BRAHMS: Symphony numbering was different then, and also he died at thirty-five—
CHOTINER: So you had more time than Mozart

the memory of watching the terminal light up with that first A New Session issue in 2021 is still such a dream. Before we really knew what The HTML Review might be or how it might fit in, we kept going back to it, knowing we wouldn't be completely alone <3

I think the main lesson I’ve learned from watching a lot of opera vids is that it’s okay to have a lot of merely serviceable music as long as you have a few real bangers

A screenshot of an interactive web tool that pairs words with percussion sounds in real-time as text scrolls by. At the top, dropdown menus and sliders allow the user to select a literary work (&quot;Little Women&quot;), adjust scroll speed, and set excerpt size. Below, a section titled “Word-Sound Rules” shows that the words “the,” “of,” and “and” are linked to a bass drum, snare drum, and hand clap respectively. In the lower portion, a passage from Little Women is displayed, with the trigger words highlighted in yellow, visually cueing when a corresponding sound would play during the automated reading
