Having missed out on the five things meme, I’m picking up on the eight things one. Blame it all on Josh, who tagged me.
1. On Friday I found both my father’s and my grandfather’s World War II military papers–a registration card for my grandfather, and the enrollment data for my father–via Ancestry.com, which […]
Jenny Levine imagined a library with tags. Dave Pattern made one (read more about how). A year and a half later, I had an idea.
