Clink!

Dear friends: A quick note that Unearth Museum of Digital Archaeology works but a lot of its exhibits are somewhat intentionally broken. We let the domains expire, because we decided to consolidate our exhibits and use the canonical home to house most of them. There will be exhibits that will continue to be hosted on their own domains, but that setup will be an exception rather than the rule. We're steadily giving the broken exhibits canonical homes, but it may take some time to get everything up and running.

(Don't tell him that I told you, but Felix started getting headaches from having to scroll endlessly down the list of our 100+ domains on his FTP program and web host's control panel. Do you know that feeling when something starts bothering you so much, that you have to get a stress ball just to be able to scroll down to the letter 'u'? That's how he felt, he said. And perhaps by cutting back on domains we could save his eyes from crossing.)

Hope your weekend has been swell. cheers, jojo

kewl.page is for websites that are kewl. it's a nod to the original "cool site of the day." we had a version of "cool site of the day" for a year, but kewl.page was a cheaper domain to register and renew. plus, honestly, a cool new site each day is asking for a failed project. offense.

Moving beyond conventional crate-digging, The Waxlorian is an online portal built around the ethos of epistemic stewardship: integrating careful vinyl acquisition, archival research, and physical care within a coherent cognitive framework.

Whether you’re exploring our latest arrivals or digging into serendipitous archive pulls, The Waxlorian offers an intentional, elevated archive designed for true stewards of sound.

Peace.

Open for business: WordP.ad, for all your markdown-writing needs. I use it all the time. What fun stuff are on the site, besides your boring old markdown writing platform? Well...

• Dialogue Punctuation Formatter
  You don't think about quote mechanics until you've typed a hundred lines of conversation and realize half your commas sit outside the quotation marks. One click pulls every trailing period and comma inside the quote ("Like this,") automatically.

.... Et cetera.

Impressive, right? (Say yes.)

Happy Spring, friends. Checked our cherry blossom tree at zazen.im this morning. It's in full bloom.

Did you know the tree changes its colors based on Seattle's seasons? And if I'm not mistaken, the sun and moon rise and set based on Seattle time.

clinks! from the weekend:

our hardworking foundrysmiths updated the unearth press this weekend. the main page now shows when a scholarly paper receives a doi. they also added a page where you can search for specific doi-stamped papers.

Happy Pi Day!

Hello. The hope is that place will be a better way for the collective to provide updates every so often about the state of the Foundry ecosystem. Admittedly, we are not the greatest with social media and cannot promise that this page will be our version of The Letter Before Z account. That said, each update will be a surprise for all of us.

By the way, a clink! is like a tweet, but a trowel-related sound instead. Because we are clever.
