Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
You never know what you're going to read when you come to my blog as my previous post evidenced. Some bloggers write sequential posts describing their day-to-day activities, others writings cover over a week or longer; then some have themed subjects, explore other topics, memories and ideas.
By comparison, my blog posts are probably somewhat of a hodgepodge of my meandering thoughts, some of life at any given time, some recollections and mostly whatever happens to be capturing my interest at the time. I'm not sure there is ever a long consistent connecting thread that might serve to stimulate readers to return and read more.
One such short thread currently is my "smart phone" that was delivered when expected at the end of the previous week. I think the iPhone seems to be rather like a smaller version of my iPad-Mini that I like so much. The larger phone size is less desirable to me than my cell phone which fit nicely into a small pocket-like padded carrier. There was a soft material handle I could hook my fingers through to carry about and still have the use of both hands, or put the cell phone in my pocket -- to have handy should I need to make an emergency call.
My little cell phone was ideal instead of subscribing to one of those special services necessitating wearing a device to hang around my neck or a pin to affix on my clothes with a button to push should I happen to fall, for example. But there are various smart phone features that I may gradually incorporate into using that exceed those offered by my now former cell phone.
Perhaps the next change I might make will be to use a "smart watch". I remember when reading the Sunday newspaper's comic strip page was a regular activity I began enjoying when I was elementary school age decades ago. I wasn't a regular fan of Dick Tracy, but I do recall being impressed with the fantasy aroused when he started wearing a 2-way wrist radio on which he could send and receive messages -- pictures, too! That could never happen in real life --- could it?
A few decades later kids got a toy 2-way wrist radio as featured in this commercial:
