The Internet Archive, the World's Largest Library
October 25, 2001 - The world's largest library, the Internet Archive, has
just been launched with the idea of creating a free and permanent Internet
library available to researchers, historians, scholars and the general
public. Users will be able to access 10 billion web pages dating back to
1996 when the concept of the project originated. The site was designed to
support libraries role "to preserve society's cultural artifacts and to
provide access to them. If libraries are to continue to foster education
and scholarship in this era of digital technology, it's essential for them
to extend those functions into the digital world". More

Subject: [CC] Wayback collection of websites that began the Internet
revolution.

A special Wayback collection of websites that began the Internet revolution.
This special Wayback collection pays tribute to the websites that shaped the
character of the net in the early years: irreverent, Star Trek obsessed,
visionary. Many of the websites featured in this special Wayback collection
were already on the web by 1993 or even earlier, a full three years before we
began archiving the net. They were the early settlers - the web pioneers. So
have a seat in our little time machine and take a look at the web the way it
was before Webvan, Pets.com and eToys changed everything Internet Archive
Wayback Machine The Internet Archive Wayback Machine is a service created
by Alexa to enable people to surf an ongoing archive of the web. Alexa crawls
and archives the entire web, making it possible for historians, scholars, and
the curious to revisit the web's past.

sick
i am a sick man; i worry constantly that i am dying. my cholesterol is out
of control; i cannot find a doctor. heartburn is so bad i am debilitated
and often cannot function. i am off medication. i cannot sleep; tonight
again is a night full of nightmare and internal violence. it gnaws at me.
it produces my writing. it inhabits my videos. it crawls up my body. i
live with death. i know i will not live long. my brain has been acting up
- the left frontal lobe again. tinnitus has returned with a vengeance; i
hear you only through a high-pitched wine. it is hard to focus on anything
- sleeplessness leaves me nervous and irritable. i cry at the slightest
provocation; try me. my philosophy lives at the edge of my mind. there is
nothing but limit within me; i am striated. when i open my eyes the world
is an irregular grid. i am close to hysteria.
some one of these posts will be my last. i can feel it in my body. i can
feel it in my flesh. the absence... it will be a dropping-away; it will
take time. then you will know it's gone - the writing - the nervous tremb-
ling - the texts - the luridness - the philosophy of no-name. at that
point nothing will matter; the fadeout is endurable; the work drops out,
fades out. look: there are almost no books, no readings, no citations, no
presence. a skein within a skein - the residue of a blemish on the web.
but nothing outside of it - the work is dead. "chances are you have not
read this far." if you have you're one of four or five.
death: i feel it in my bones. i feel the crystals. i feel the cry of the
letters. death shakes them out.
