I thought this was pretty cool, the Internet Archive blog has a recent post on the process they follow to digitize vinyl. And they share this information all in the name of preserving and distributing ephemeral culture. Nothing like an organization that preserves some of the coolest stuff on the net [...]
Well, Antonella Dalla Torre’s Italian 202 class had its first annual La Mattina degli Oscar (The Morning of the Oscars), and it was quite a special event. Good food, everyone well-dressed, and the culture was first rate, now that’s Italian! The occasion was a celebration of the recent work this class put into creating [...]
Finally, the last and mashed installation of my [[Dawn of the Dead]] (1978) series which took far more technical and creative energy than I originally imagined. The idea behind this experiment was simple: create three commentaries upon the social/political sub-themes dealing with consumer culture embedded within Dawn of the Dead using [...]

Over the last month or so I have been scouring the [[Internet Archive]] for pubic domain films. Below are 31 of the 38 movies I bookmarked in del.icio.us that are currently available at Internet Archive (del.icio.us seems to be balking the feed after 31 entries for some reason). To see all 38 go here. The [...]
…and be careful of those fireworks of mass destruction, kids. Yet another gem from the Internet Archive.
Using found footage on the Internet Archive to create my own music video. So feel free to “Dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio…”
A reposting of the viral video “The Medieval Helpdesk” (a comical look at the new technology of the book during the middle ages) has a description that frames the point of the video as follows:
This video makes fun of modern newbie computer users by illustrating - in a way fully understandable to them - how [...]
