It’s not really new, but it’s good to see the fragility of CDs getting some press. One of the ironies of the information age is that information is being lost at a rate unprecedented in human history. A lot of that is pointless BS like my undergrad history papers, but a depressing amount of it is potentially useful technical material and historical primary sources. It’d be nice to have a really good high density long term data archive format. Currently the best we can do with any certainty that it will still be accessible in a hundred years or more is high quality acid-free paper.

Fox News is reporting that Alan King, the King of comedy, has died. The Borscht Belt just greatly expanded its borders.

Alan Henderson has some additional commentary.

Good Thing Europe Doesn’t Have Any Electoral Votes
Hot off the press, the New York Times says that Europeans don’t like Bush very much. Frankly, reading this article just makes me even more inclined to vote for him, just to cheese them off.

Spacearium
These guys spammed me this morning. Looks like an interesting site, though I haven’t looked around much. They have launch footage and a movie about Goddard (the man, not the NASA center), along with all the NASA SP-8000 documents, among other things. Anyone know who’s behind the site? I dug around a little, but didn’t find anything.
Incidentally, this illustrates the basic rule of unsolicited commercial email – it’s only spam if you don’t want what they’re selling.

I think that the headline of this story tells it all.
