So true... I've been working on a site about the history of the local music scene, and in going through old tapes, zines and flyers, it's often difficult to determine what year it was from. I'm guilty of this as well. A band I was in recorded some material, and when digitizing it, I had to guess on the year it was recorded. I think that running a weblog for over 8 years that still has the posts from the beginning available online has reinforced this idea for me. I want the things I make to stick around, if for no one else, than for myself. Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!
