OK. So this Friday we're having a talk at work by Brewster Kahle, co-founder of The Internet Archive. When we booked him, I kind of took a gander at the site, but didn't really spend much time on it.
A couple of days ago, I got the urge to have some new Dead music, and knew that my friend, Dave, used something he'd called "eTree." So, I Googled up "Grateful Dead shows download" and looked in the results for "eTree." Clicked over, bagged a very cool show, was a happy camper.
So today, I decide to go over and find another show (it's addictive), and I take a good look at the page. There, up in the corner, is the logo for the Internet Archive.
Major duh, Lori.
Any-hoo, this site is so unbelievably cool, so chock-full of free, fab data, I'm beside myself. Down the rabbit hole I go, eating up my remaining gigabytes. I've already started looking at external drives to hold more data. Life's good.
