Interesting article in yesterday's LA Times about

I think many of you, especially software archivists, would find it on
topic
and interesting.
I wonder how Jaron Lanier feels about being immortalized by the LA Times as
"Jason Lanier"? :)
I've often thought that although we're generating a lot of knowledge, we're
holding it in a leaky bucket. The fact that the only avenue for
dissemination for much of it is on the internet is even more of a problem.
I've got lots of old bookmarks to sites with valuable information that have
long vanished from the web.
