On the Temporal Nature of Digital Works

I just finished writing up a tremendous blog entry on conspiracy theories. It was well researched, full of WikiPedia links for those who wished to delve deeper into the topics (which is a habit I seem to be getting into lately - please, let me know how you feel about that). It was amusing and interesting and all that you've come to expect from the good folks here at DLOG.

And now it's gone.

Just like that. Gone. One minute on my screen. Next minute gone. No automatic backup made. No recovery possible.

It's hard to express how much this has bummed me out. I fear I have neither the time nor the energy to reproduce it today. Maybe tomorrow.

For now, go read Wondermark. Here's the one that got me hooked. You can roam the archives from there, which I highly recommend:

Wondermark!
