The @internetarchive today posted its 130-page "Vanishing Culture" report, which highlights the "fragility of our digital landscape" and the importance of "empowering public-serving libraries and archives."

I contributed a short article on my work recovering and researching the lost software of Yaakov Kirschen, which you can read on page 117.

It's an honor to be included with folks like Jordan Mechner and Jason Scott.

I'm pumped! Today Emory University published a blog post about my experience learning more about several Jewish educational computer games for the Apple II from the early 1980s, which I came to Atlanta to study last month.
