This will be SO MUCH FUN for the right archivist. Deep, hard, steady work.

Some happy news @flickrfdn to start the year - we got our first grant, from the National Endowment for the Humanities (@NEHgov), to pursue our Data Lifeboat concept. #STOKED
Thrilled to announce that we were awarded a grant in this round, to begin developing our Data Lifeboat in earnest! YAY!

I don’t think enough people have seen this. It’s Kurt Vonnegut talking to his wife about going out to get an envelope (we’re here on earth to fart around):

I really enjoyed this conversation with Temi and Amanda about our emerging 100-year plan practice @flickrfdn.
Apologies in advance for all my giggling.

Hey, look! A change of leadership and running things has happened @_museuminabox. End of an era! And I really enjoyed developing wonderfully simple tech, and thanks very much to Adrian for taking the baton.

We've got some important news to share!
After 8 years at the helm, @ukglo is leaving us to preserve the world's photos (well, lots of them) at @flickrfdn; and @amcewen is stepping up from just-doing-the-tech to take over.

Today for lunch I read out loud Ted Chiang's recent, excellent piece in the New Yorker. I wanted to ensure I absorbed it all.
"If A.I. is as powerful a tool as its proponents claim, they should be able to find other uses for it besides intensifying the ruthlessness of capital.
