Entire chapters of internet culture grew up in Flash. When it was switched off, most of it should have disappeared forever. But it didn't, thanks to the efforts of the software preservation community and dedicated archivists.
Flash is just part of the story of VANISHING CULTURE, a new book exploring the fight to preserve our fragile digital history.

Teach those kids what it was really like...
Popsicles were a rare treat. Not something you'd take outside with you in the heat of the day. She didn't what to traumatize them with the garden hose I guess.
But you usually kept some coins around for the snow cone man who came around late in the day on a Cushman 3 wheel scooter & you'd get a rainbow flavor mixed cone w/5-7 kinds of juice. Sometimes eating it while riding your bike in traffic too.
I draw, code, and make memes sometimes.
