Listener comments!
	6:03pm ian: where can you beg, buy, borrow, or steal that circle record? A few minutes of frantic googling is only turning up with a sketchy russian site that charges 10 cents a track
	6:04pm ian: speaking of the internet..
	6:04pm BW: folks you all can call in as well
	6:04pm Matt from Springfield: Forget the "job creators"! We're all about the free digital media repository creators!!! Just rolls off the tongue!
	6:05pm other david: looking forward to this show Ken, very cool guest too - archive.org is an amazing resource. Ken, probably too far off topic for tonights show - but how does the cost of delivering WFMU for internet listeners compare to the cost of providing it for FM listeners?
	6:06pm Danne D: Andy sounds different tonight
	6:06pm Danne D: Petabyte Sounds - Music of archive.org
	6:07pm Matt from Springfield: @Danne: And strangely technology-literate...
	6:07pm Danne D: http://web.archive.org/web/19961115033357/http://wfmu.org/
	6:08pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Danne! Was just about to look for that! Oooh! Plain text!
	6:08pm Danne D: Then 2nd archived wfmu page is awesome: http://web.archive.org/web/19961218213608/http://wfmu.org/
	6:09pm Danne D: So have any terrorist hunters and the like come to archive.org looking for help or information?
	6:09pm Close Listener: RFC only once a month? Are there any plans for all the other weekly slots inanely filled by TMI reruns?
	6:09pm Matt from Springfield: Ha ha! He's right about MIT! You'd think they have a better page than this! http://web.archive.org/web/19970606124950/http://www.mit.edu/
	6:10pm BW: wow, the napster library got skipped !
	6:10pm the glowing one: I wonder how this interview would be like if Ken was drunk again...
	6:10pm Matt from Springfield: That's like 1995 quality! Then again, perhaps they were saving space for cooler things.
	6:11pm Danne D: Kenny G's popular guide to unpopular music: http://web.archive.org/web/19970629055100/http://www.wfmu.org/~kennyg/popular.html
	6:12pm BW: Danne you are well versed in Archive.org
	6:12pm Danne D: For comparison here's the webpage for a larger entity. 1996's nfl.com http://web.archive.org/web/19961112094729/http://www.nfl.com/
	6:12pm Matt from Springfield: "Intertwingled™"
	6:13pm Danne D: @BW - lol naah it's pretty much easy to do.
	6:13pm BW: folks - call in! with a question - I know you have some good ones...
	6:13pm the glowing one: ok serious question: what are their strategies on data rot and data migration?
	6:13pm Danne D: OH MY - This Bengals page is not how I remembered the 90s - very bizarro world: http://web.archive.org/web/19961112095415/http://www.nfl.com/bengals/index.html
	6:15pm Matt from Springfield: "Interesting to be around"???! Pah! I demand militant CYBORGS!!
	6:15pm Danne D: Bruce Coslet and Ki-Jana Carter leading the way! Of course after they started 1-6. So who's gonna ask 'em about Pr0n.
	6:16pm Danne D: Q: More seriously, how do they deal with any potential legality issues in terms of the pages they are archiving?
	6:16pm Fredericks: I believe the Turing test only required 60% of the conversation be appropriate/convincing.
	6:19pm BW: pron coming!
	6:20pm Matt from Springfield: @Danne: For the most part, I say: get a robots.txt file if you don't want your pages archived.
	6:20pm Bas, NL: Question: Is there any (way of) rating the value of what to put in the archive?
	6:25pm Danne D: LOL Matt - That wasn't why I was asking!
	6:28pm Danne D: http://archive.org/details/911
	6:28pm the glowing one: I have a question about the 9/11 recordings: I remember that there used to be higher quality mpegs available back then. now they seem to be gone or are at least not accessible. what happened to those files?
	6:29pm BW: hah
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: Ah, I'd like to see that 9/11 archive. It's painful, but I'd really like to revisit that for a longer historical view--I haven't looked at the original coverage since it happened.
	6:29pm Danne D: lol
	6:30pm The Interesting Parts: Technically, when people are sitting down we are in fact under the table
	6:30pm Danne D: (lol at the pr0n answer he gave)
	6:30pm Danne D: The internet archive just reads playboy for the articles.
	6:31pm BW: i was hahing at porn too not you glowing one
	6:31pm Reno Deputy Junior: Aw man, that's my daddy's porn, we'll never find that again...
	6:31pm Curtis: Question for Brewser KAHLE: Are there facilities for archiving data for public access via archive.org?
	6:31pm Matt from Springfield: I heart the Prelinger Archive! Thank you Brewster!
	6:33pm Ian (2): Wonderful topic. As is is so easy & fast to create information, so too is it increasingly ephemeral. Archive is a great resource & effort to preserve that which is fleeting - Kudos!
	6:34pm Matt from Springfield: A lot forums it seems are blocked from Archive.org--there were public, search-engine accessible forums that you could look up, but then if it goes offline archive.org won't show them.
	6:36pm Danne D: wow: http://web.archive.org/web/19961223013844/http://democrats.org/ http://web.archive.org/web/19961220233340/http://rnc.org/
	6:38pm Danne D: usatoday.com is a prominent site with no archive btw. Q: Has there ever been a clear threat that could've taken the entire project down?
	6:49pm Matt from Springfield: Art videos (and sounds): ubu.org !!!
	6:50pm Matt from Springfield: And, Kenny G said much the same thing regarding UbuWeb, getting obscure but important art pieces, with only a few hundred vinyl LPs available, and making them available to the world.
	6:51pm BW: ok anyone else want to call for our debut show? Im doing the phones
	6:55pm Matt from Springfield: At work now, but now that I know about this series I may try to call another time. Thanks Ben!
	6:56pm BW: the last monday of every month!
	6:56pm the glowing one: nope, the industry just won't give up. they will try again and again.
	6:56pm Danne D: Great show :)
	6:57pm Matt from Springfield: And yes, SOPA and PIPA were lightning rods, they united so many technology people against it. The near unianimity was important in fighting the lobbyist-bought legislators. Occupy Congress on Jan 17, a number were attracted there in part by SOPA and PIPA (myself included).
	6:57pm the glowing one: yes, very good show.
	6:58pm Bas, NL: Excellent and very interesting interview!
	6:58pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Ken, Brewster, and again to Ben Walker! This has a promising start, I will check this out next month! Have a good night everyone!
	7:00pm other david: +1 excellent show, thanks ken, benjamin & brewster
