Was just enjoying Dead Sources on the nightmare scenario that unfolded at Georgetown on 10/23/70, and appreciating LIA’s work curating this material. There is so much out there, I cannot keep up!
Thanks, LIA, for putting this stuff out there. Having the texts directly available is invaluable.
I wanted to riff from that and urge both all of my readers to follow the action at the links I keep to the right. I have them classified roughly as presenting data or analysis (though of course most do both). I myself keep RSS feeds and try to at least have a sense of what everyone is working on.

There is some great work being done. Thank you, bloggers! If you know of other blogs I should link, please pass them along in comments. Thanks!
Finally, I want to encourage anyone looking for a hobby, or who has a little interest in, say, doing some data analysis projects, some spatial work, or who is into digitizing, analyzing, and thinking about liner notes … join the club! It’s fun, and there are more data floating around than there is computing power trying to analyze it.
