Archive.org has http://dpreview.com going back to 1999. I just donated to them to help keep all that information around. The manner of the shutdown ("available in read-only mode for a limited period after...[April 2023]": https://dpreview.com/news/5901145460/dpreview-com-to-close) is a reminder of how important doing that is.

The Wombles had the circular economy all figured out back in 1968. We should all aspire to be like the Wombles.
"Making good use of the things that we find, things that the everyday folk leave behind..."

The patriarchy is the reason you know the names Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk, but you've never even once heard the name Evelyn Berezin.

My view last night after Argentina’s nuclear power plant Atucha went offline because a land-clearing fire affected power lines, leaving half the country (pop 46m) without electricity. Intentional fires to clear land for soy, cattle and gated communities burn everywhere non-stop, reddening eyes, burning throats. The press ignores it. Government response? It stopped publishing fire stats. Current summer is hottest in history of Buenos Aires, weather bureau said yesterday. No one carried the story.

Tonight in 1977 — The finale of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW aired on CBS.
“It was incumbent upon me to profess absolute belief that this was the smart thing to do: to go off while we were ahead and on top. But I was crumbling inside. I didn’t want it to end.” — #MaryTylerMoore

Today I learned ↓
The word "Dashboard" comes from the board on the front of a horse carriage which prevents mud from kicking up on the passengers as the horses are "dashing" through the dirt.

Haystack Rock Blue Hour
Haystack Rock is the dominate rock feature on Oregon's Canon Beach just south of Astoria Oregon.
This beach is a true gem. It is all that much nicer when you have a beautiful sunset fading into the blue hour. The beach is wide and the ocean is shallow at this point, so the waves roll out for a good distance leaving a beautiful reflective surface for the setting sun.
