the html review 04: my favorite internet journal put out a fourth issue of experimental web writing https://thehtml.review/04/

the html review 04

It reminds me of the motivational lies my dad told my siblings and I while hiking: promising the summit was just around the corner, over that next hill, past this one last tree. The infinite scrollbar is grotesque, it just keeps pulling us along with no summit in sight, but somehow, we all go along with it.

It has crazy good design from friends Shelby Wilson and Alex Miller. If you like reading about libraries, archives, hard drives, codexes, monasteries, wars, disasters, space probes, and indictments of the current corporate and government order, this piece might be for you...

Here it is, the longest piece of nonfiction I’ve ever written, CENTURY-SCALE STORAGE. The kind folks at @harvardlil.bsky.social let me investigate the present and future of digital storage, and how we steward and preserve our most treasured cultural objects lil.law.harvard.edu/century-scal...

Century-Scale Storage

If you had to store something for 100 years, how would you do it?
