cpb.tumblr

 (via Internets - Encyclopedia Dramatica)

I think this tumblr blog needs to be closed. I was collecting things because I liked it and also because it was a nice companion to me writing about Internet folklore. Now I am still checking out the tumblrs I follow on a daily basis, but I feel this is the end for the cpb.tumblr.blog. Internet subcultures have a mind of their own now, and they profit from a tribazillion sources and relays, much more than 2007 when I started this image blog. Back then, Internet folklore was not exactly invisible (it had already surfaced) but now, I feel way too redundant compared to the many creative propagation channels everywhere.

I still have the cpbnews.tumblr.com, for news about my research and university work ; also, the cpbhomes.tumblr.com which has absolutely nothing to do with anything featured here, but which will go on nonetheless as a personal homage to private homes’ architecture ; oh ! and also a tumblr dedicated to my cats since the little one joined us. The rest is on my website.

Cheers everyone, and keep up the good tumblin’ fun.

From The Archives: Jared Newman’s sister Heather found this interesting Internet pros and cons list from 1996 while going through some stuff in her childhood bedroom at their parents’ house in Connecticut.

He writes:

This was apparently part of some high school handout packet; also included among the papers were tips on using Altavista and print outs of the Yahoo home page as viewed in Netscape.

The more things 2.0, the more things 1.0.
