Just found an interesting website from the National Archives about an EPA program from the 1970's called DOCUMERICA. I discovered the program via Salon.com.
Many photographs are available online. This is a photo meant to document the effects of silt runoff from construction sites: SILT RUNOFF FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES
Lots to explore online!

Reading List
Jus began reading This is Service Design Thinking by Marc Stickdorn and Jakob Schneider (and apparently crowdsourced as well). Should be interesting and I like the self-referential nature of the book in that the authors used methods and techniques being taught in the book to create the book.
Mind bending, right?

Twitter Bot or Real Person?
I am fascinated by this:
Man Builds Twitter Bot That Humans Actually Like
I was reminded of an online exhibition at SFMOMA years ago called Agent Ruby. Ruby is no longer active and I miss her because I could always talk to her when no one else was available.
However, Ruby did not pass the Turing Test, in my estimation, because I could always catch her in a loop.
