The Internet Archive, perhaps best known for the extremely handy Wayback Machine you can use to find older versions of webpages, also has free movies, books, software, and music. Yet a little known part of the organization’s media trove includes uploaded recordings from VHS tapes, as I learned today thanks to this Vice article. They live on The VHS Vault, and as of this writing, there are more than 20,000 recordings you can peruse.

Typical Sunday Evening

Reading, Writing and Replying is part of the Sunday evening ritual here at our house. More computers than for on the footstool.

Puzzling 

We always spend Thanksgiving with my sister in Palm Springs/Coachella Valley and end up playing a lot of games. These beautiful, if difficult, puzzle occupied us for hours. We would do other things and then come back to work a bit more. The laser cut puzzle contains pieces that are shaped like people, faces, flowers and more instead of the typical jigsaw shapes.
