but Ani... I LOVE the link within the article ... your archives are any online researcher's dream...
Thanks!

I love it whenever some article mentions another one I have. heheh.

This is still the one with the most cross-referencing: www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/1996_02xx_car.htm

Sadly, I don't have all of them.


I love that idea. I second Anakin archiving the world! 


I was actually thinking of starting with celebrities because - politicians aside, and even then maybe not - I think they get among the most media coverage with lots of free labour (read: fans) willing to help. Plus they give lots of insights on human behaviour and the state of things.

So there could be some overarching site that links to various archives like the WINM one...

Whatever it is, if I ever archive the world, I definitely won't be able to do all the work.

This was such a good interview. And the pictures are lovely. Thanks for archiving, Ani! You really SHOULD archive the world, haha!

oh shucks, now I feel guilty !  and haven't even got the darn magazine yet, my friend is supposed to arrive back in the country on Monday...

hope, Everything, hope !  I thought it was sold out too... 'till I got the good news.

yeah, I'm the one who read almost all Ellroy novels available...
one piece of advice, though - don't stop at Dahlia. if possible, read all four "LA novels".  they offer quite an image of post WWII LA... cops and robbers and their connections with the show-biz world and all that...
although it's fiction, it's pretty well documented... Ellroy is a research fanatic.

Don't feel guilty Luca. I'm actually really happy you are able to get a copy. If they're hard to get, they'll be collector's items!

Thanks for the Ellroy advice. I thought it was you who had read Ellroy!

That could be kind of fun in a way. (archiving things) But I see what you mean about how you couldn't do it alone. dry.gif

Actually, there's a great app for the new iphone (you get apps through itunes-either free or you pay for them) and one of them downloads classic books. I thought that was a great idea. (books like The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn and 20.000 Leagues Under The Sea). I guess it still has some kinks to work out, but I like the idea of it. Kind of like Kindle.

There's also book bites. Which I guess is sort of the cliff notes version of books?

You're a smart one Anakin, I bet you could come up with a killer app. This is sort of beyond me, but I bet if you had the time and inclination you could come up with something cool.

I'm just throwing it out there!

If Ani had the time, above all, because I think she has already lots of inclination!!

Oh yeah, I think Anakin would do an awesome job if she wanted to. I just know how BUSY she is with school work and all her online activities/writings etc....
