What does it take to teach a senior/grad-level database course for the first time? I share my experience teaching CS 450/550 in Spring 2026, a semester that pushed me beyond research into teaching and learning. ✍️@WebSciDL blog: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/06/2… @oducs @ODUSCI @ODU

A @pewresearch study found that 38% of webpages from a decade ago and 25% of pages sampled across the decade are now inaccessible; @internetarchive's analysis shows that the @waybackmachine has rescued roughly 15% of those otherwise dead pages. blog.archive.org/2026/04/23/… #linkrot

From the first web page to today’s sprawling internet, the web has reshaped how we live, learn & connect. 🌐 Hear Sir @TimBerners_Lee & @Brewster_Kahle on the Future Knowledge #podcast discussing the web’s explosive growth & why preserving it matters for generations to come. 🎧 All episodes ⬇️ futureknowledge.transistor.f… #digitalpreservation #libraries @InternetArchive
Podcast cover for Episode #13 of 'Future Knowledge' titled 'Building and Preserving the Web.' The design features portraits of speakers Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Brewster Kahle. Surrounding them are collage-style retro-futuristic elements, including a classical statue head, a vintage computer with the word "NEW" on its screen, a modernist observation tower, and abstract architectural shapes. The title uses bold, blocky typography, giving the cover a vintage sci-fi aesthetic.

In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain. Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵
Page from March 1997 Scientific American featuring Brewster Kahle’s article 'Preserving the Internet.' Text describes the Internet Archive’s mission to save digital information. Includes a photo of a Smithsonian exhibit with 1996 U.S. election web memorabilia.

Replying to @adamscrabble
@archiveis has the text (see "view source" pic), but the window covers it & @archiveis strips all .js from pages, so it can't be dismissed. @waybackmachine recreates the tweet from the archived .json; it's not the actual .html from the server on 2025-09-12 but it's "good enough"
