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.
Wikipedia says that --
"More popular in the United States than in Mexico,
Cinco de Mayo has become associated with
the celebration of Mexican-American culture."
Cinco de Mayo is not a big celebration
here in Canada, probably because our
Mexican community is historically a
small percentage of our population
(although growing these days).
Judging from the internet, however,
Cinco de Mayo seems to be more of an excuse for
general drinking and partying than anything else,
just like St Patrick's Day has become.
Perhaps Canadian bars make a big deal
out of Cinco de Mayo, I don't know.
I suspect not, though, because right now
every bar in Canada is catering to legions
of drunk hockey fans watching
the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.
That's where the money is in Canada, LOL!
Well, this has turned out to be
a rather desultory post, hasn't it?
American readers, do YOU celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
