I'm defining The Computational Web by the increasingly massive amounts of computing required to run the modern Internet, thanks to AI and decentralized technologies, and the elite group of tech firms that can meet those demands.

Incredible essay about the importance and challenges of digital archival by Maxwell Neely-Cohen, as well as the various imperfect strategies to achieve “century-scale” digital archives.

"We picked a century scale because most physical objects can survive 100 years in good care. It is attainable, and yet we selected it because the design of mainstream digital storage mediums are nowhere close to even considering this mark."

Looking at the candidates [1] and considering the needs of the TAG, these would be my top 3 recs for those voting:

1. Dan Clark: the TAG desperately needs folks with JS and UI expertise

2. @christianliebel We need people who believe the Web can be a viable alternative to proprietary native platforms, and he also seems to have the kind of energy the TAG needs.

3. @marcosc Marcos Caceres: his past TAG tenure and extensive standards experience make this a no brainer

Ben Folds released a Christmas album back in October: "Sleigher". Or as the description on the bandcamp page says:

"The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas..."

Anyway, if you're interested:

UnitedHealth recently helped kill single-payer health care legislation in California.
