Media & archives

Those of you with large VHS tape libraries may want to read this; it's a guide to the basics of burning DVDs from tape.

Did you know the Library of Congress has put more than eight million images of historical documents online? If that's not impressive enough, it has now put a digitized version of the Gutenberg Bible on CD, for $80/set.

Today appears to be information-archive day: here's some background on the guy who put together The Memory Hole, the website which recently removed those obscuring bars (redaction) from DOJ's internal diversity report through a standard Adobe Acrobat feature. The article contains links to other websites which try to do the same thing.

I ran across another new blog the other day: if you're interested in science (particularly biology and medicine), check out The Loom. It's authored by Carl Zimmer, who's published several books and writes magazine articles, including one as recently as six weeks ago in the NYT about the Terry Schiavo case.
