@ A Few Things...
I've added a "Files" section to my root gophermap. At the moment there are
just TWO files. A zip archive of an old demo tape my high school punk band
"The Punchbowl Spikers[1]" recorded in our bassist Kyle's house. It was
literally one of those tabletop cassette recorders just sat in the middle of
the room while we played.
Secondly, I added a PDF of a zine I physically printed around 2009. It's
weirdly layed out so that you have to double-side print in a way that you can
later staple it. I was just happy to have recovered this! If you were one of
the "lucky" ones to either request directly or received in a Shelflife[2]
order I would have colored some random part by hand or included a Peanuts
comic.
Another fun note on that zine, I would rig up the "broken" printers at the
hospital I was working at and stay late printing these things out and hoping
no one noticed (they never did).
I'm still figuring out how to layout this space. Sometimes I feel like it
should just be a stream of conscious at the root whether it's a phlog, image,
file, etc...
