Last month I co-chaired a session of IS&T's DigiTIPS that featured Stephen Parsons, co-founder of the Vesuvius Challenge, who's behind this effort! Really cool stuff! You can still register for the recording of that session, and for our live session next week on digitization for disasters!

Oh man I've got some *reading* to do. I've already read Madhouse, Wager and Endurance, and they all slapped.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

@comicstitan.bsky.social any plans to relase the various Conan the Barbarian omnibuses digitally? I just don't have the room to buy them physically!

Taking a whirlwind trip behind the scenes of the Library of Congress comics collection! -J

The average American has three friends.

Lol well that explains why I haven't seen a new Conan comic in my Kindle library since November: Amazon has been adding new issues to the 2019-2021 series instead of the current @titancomics.bsky.social run, which means my subscription to the latter never procs! @jimzub.bsky.social

Follow my workplace! Do it!

No pics of me holding it, but I did get to digitize this other DC Comics #1, so that was pretty Neat-o.

It's a day ending in Y at the Library of Congress. Best job in the world.

My cunning plan to wait until Jay & Miles simply came to my workplace has finally paid off.

I feel like I have to let @lgr-yt.bsky.social know that the Windows 95 reboot chime is now part of the National Recording Registry: newsroom.loc.gov/news/nationa...

Got that mother flippin' Time Waits hardcover, which not only looks gorgeous but is also co-written by my good pal @iamdavidbrothers.com (also some guy named Chip??). Please ignore my weird double-jointed thumb. Although since I've now drawn attention to it, my caution has already failed.

This is high art
