This chapter focuses on situations like that faced by YouTube, in which more participation on any one side attracts more participation on the other side(s). This is true for many but not all multisided platforms. As we noted in chapter 2, for instance, radio advertisers are attracted by listeners, but listeners are not generally attracted by advertisers.

Acknowledgments The best part about writing a book about the internet is that when you inevitably get distracted by the internet, it often ends up sparking something to write about. Thanks to internet people in general. A big problem in internet research is that half the links you cite will stop working in just two years. To mitigate link rot, every link in this book has been saved in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, and I’ve made a donation to help it stay in operation. Enter any broken urls at archive.org for a backed-up copy. I’d like to thank my editor, Courtney Young, for understanding the spirit of the book better than I did myself at times. Thank you also to the rest of the team at Riverhead Books, especially Kevin Murphy, and the copyediting team for gracefully handling a style guide founded on internet style; jacket designer Grace Han for landing on a brilliant representation of internet writing; and my publicist, Shailyn Tavella, for her energy and enthusiasm.

Renaissance Technologies, for example, has removed almost everything except the address from its site, www.rentec.com. However, we can tell by its appearance at the top of electronic trade volume lists that Renaissance is keeping its machinery very active in the market. Using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine,10 a digital time capsule named after Mr. Peabody’s Rocky and Bullwinkle Show time travel machine, we can see what Renaissance and other companies were saying when they were more forthcoming with information. The picture that emerges is actually not all that surprising. The technologically innovative firms describe increasingly sophisticated trading strategies.

The Epinions.com rating site for social web sites gave iExchange four stars, “a good place to make money.” The anonymous successful investors on the right are minting money.

Perhaps you noticed that the screen grab is from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine,6 the elephant graveyard of the Internet. Either those 1,200 percent returns weren’t enough to keep people happy or something went awry.

(The Internet Archive Wayback Machine does not always store all images.)

Dates on websites are sometimes inaccurate because the retroactive alteration of text and dates is easy to accomplish. Sometimes the content of a webpage is altered, and the date associated with the content is not updated to reflect the modification. Luckily, a snapshot of the webpage at answerbag.com with the saying was stored in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine database on October 25, 2012. Thus, the accuracy of that date is supported. Another now defunct website called imfunny.net displayed an elaborate nine-panel composite image dated November 3, 2012, with the title “The Day That Albert Einstein Feared May Have Finally Arrived.” Eight panels showed people preoccupied by phones.

Regardless of the path you choose, it is helpful to be able to simply and rapidly prove that you are the original author of the content. One tool that can help with that is the Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org). This site keeps copies of websites over time. You enter a website name, click Search, and get a screen that may look a bit like Figure 11-5. Figure 11-5. Sample data from Archive.org You can then click on one of the dates to see the state of the website on that date. The Wayback Machine does not always keep complete site copies, but a lot of data is available there, and you can use it to provide clear proof that you were the first person to publish a given piece of content.

Google Trends for Websites Note that tools such as Alexa, Compete, and Quantcast do have other unique features and functionality not available in Google Trends for Websites. How does the current state of their sites’ SEO compare with those of years past? You can reach back into history and access previous versions of your competitors’ home pages and view the HTML source to see which optimization tactics they were employing back then. The Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) provides an amazingly extensive archive of web pages. Assessing Historical Progress Measuring the results of SEO changes can be challenging, partly because there are so many moving parts and partly because months can elapse between when changes are made to a site and when results are seen in search rankings and traffic.

Previous SEO Work When you are brought on to handle the SEO for a particular website, one of the first things you need to find out is which SEO activities have previously been attempted. There may be valuable data there, such as a log of changes that you can match up with analytics data to gauge impact. If no such log exists, you can always check the Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) to see whether it has historical logs for your website. This offers snapshots of what the site looked like at various points in time. Even if a log was not kept, spend some time building a timeline of when any of the types of changes that affect SEO (as discussed in the previous section) took place.

They hired a “Library Partnership Manager,” who sent out the “Google Librarian Newsletter,” which included a mix of links to news on libraries and its own products like Google Earth. The newsletters were sent less frequently in 2007, and they finally came to a stop in 2009. Later, the Librarian Center page was taken offline, although it is still available to view on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. After abandoning the community, Google returned to the ALA Conference in 2012 with convenient corporate amnesia. Google claimed it was a first-time exhibitor. A number of librarians were confused and insulted. “Librarians remember,” West said. But so much had changed in the years between Google’s ALA debuts, and part of that was the company’s influence elsewhere.

Chester’s quote comes from the story “Wired Like Me” (David Kushner, March 30, 1999), which profiles Benjamin Sun, the CEO of Asian Avenue, and addresses the challenges McLean Greaves and Lavonne Luquis faced raising capital. Cafe los Negroes came to life for me when I visited the old website courtesy of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. The note about the posters in Bed-Stuy comes from Charisse Jones’s story in The New York Times (“Power Through Cyberspace,” August 3, 1996). I interviewed Mendi and Keith Obadike over email in 2017. The earlier quote comes from Coco Fusco’s interview with Keith Obadike in 2011, which is available to view on the Obadikes’ website Blackness for Sale (“All Too Real: The Tale of an On-Line Black Sale: Coco Fusco Interviews Keith Townsend Obadike,” September 24, 2001).

The book review section, whether of a newspaper or a magazine, remains the forum where new titles are taken seriously as works of art and argument, and not merely as opportunities for shallow grandstanding and overblown ranting, all too often by kids hoping to be noticed for their sass and vulgarity. Should we allow our culture to descend to this playground level of discourse?” The National Book Critics Circle blog, where his comment appeared, can be accessed through the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20070504052340/http://bookcriticscircle.blogspot.com/2007/04/marie-arana-book-editor-washington-post.html). Several websites have covered Tumblr’s decline (Gita Jackson, “In 2018, Tumblr Is a Joyless Black Hole,” Kotaku, July 2, 2018; Brian Feldman, “Tumblr’s Unclear Future Shows That There’s No Money in Internet Culture,” New York, June 28, 2017; Seth Fiegerman, “How Yahoo Derailed Tumblr,” Mashable, June 15, 2016; Joe Porter, “Tumblr was removed from Apple’s App Store over child pornography issues,” The Verge, November 20, 2018), but, as I write this, WordPress is set to buy it, so there’s some hope for a turnaround.

A week later, Zip2 attracted a $3 million investment from the venture capital firm Mohr, Davidow. Three million dollars. “We thought they were crazy. Like why would they do that?” Elon said, laughing with Kimbal years later. “They obviously did not realize we were sleeping at the office!”53 Zip2.com on January 3, 1997 (via Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine). But that money came with strings attached. Strings that would dictate who ran the company, and it wasn’t going to be Elon. Instead of being CEO, Elon was named the chief technology officer. ROAD TRIP ALERT! New money meant a new, bigger office. Their new address: 390 Cambridge Avenue, Palo Alto.

Elon spent the next forty- eight hours at the office. He had to make sure that everything ran smoothly and that any problems were quickly solved. Silver lining? Elon’s around-the-clock presence allowed his engineers a few hours at home with their families. X.com on March 1, 2000 (via Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine). TBH: Sometimes hard work smells bad. According to early X.com employee Julie Ankenbrandt, the office smelled of sweat, body odor, and—wait for it—leftover pizza. As for that gamble about whether people would actually hand over their money to an online bank? Well, as it turns out, Elon was right.

Among the services hosted at the Internet Archive is the Wayback Machine, which contains snapshots of an enormous number of websites taken over a period of years. For instance, a search of the Wayback Machine for material relating to the story of Ivanna’s phone produces a list of archived copies of Evan’s website, available at the rather lengthy URL web.archive.org/web/*/evanwashere.com/StolenSidekick (the * is part of the URL). The Wayback Machine has only a fraction of the material produced for the Web since the early 1990s, but its collection is far larger and more general than any other publicly available resource.

Third, in the area of archiving, a full ecosystem would also necessarily include longevity provisioning and end-of-product-life planning for blockchains. It cannot be assumed that blockchains will exist over time, and their preservation and accessibility is not trivial. A blockchain archival system like the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine to store blockchains is needed. Not only must blockchain ledger transactions be preserved, but we also need a means of recovering and controlling previously recorded blockchain assets at later dates (that might have been hashed with proprietary algorithms) because it is likely that certain blockchains will go out of business.

You’ll want to take a screenshot or copy-paste any relevant content you do find, since it may be invalidated at any time by a subsequent crawl. The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine If you need to know how a particular page has changed over a longer time period, like months or years, the Internet Archive runs a service called The Wayback Machine that periodically takes snapshots of the most popular pages on the web. You go to the site, enter the link you want to research, and if it has any copies, it will show you a calendar so you can pick the time you’d like to examine.

By 1960 Rocky and His Friends was sending the dog Mr. Peabody and his adopted boy, Sherman, through the WABAC Machine to straighten out William Tell and Calamity Jane, and the next year Donald Duck made his first trip into prehistory, to invent the wheel. “Wayback Machine” became a thing, so a sitcom character says, “Dave, don’t mess with a man with a Wayback Machine—I can make it so you were never born.” Credit 2.1 Children learn about “time whirlwinds” and “time-travel stones.” Homer Simpson accidentally turns a toaster into a time machine. No explanation is necessary. We’ve outgrown the need for professors expounding on the fourth dimension.

MapQuest was Web Page Components | 5 launched on February 5, 1996, delivering maps and directions based on user-defined search queries. It has been the primary source for directions and maps on the Web for millions of people ever since (well, until Google, at least). Figure 1-1. MapQuest’s home page in 2000, according to The Wayback Machine (http://www. archive.org/) As MapQuest evolved, it began to offer more services than just maps and driving directions. By 2000, it offered traffic reports, travel guides, and Yellow and White Pages as well. How did it deliver all of these services? The same way all other Internet sites did at the time: click on a link or search button, and you were taken to a new page that had to be completely redrawn.

Poor focus When a web site or web application is dedicated to showcasing a single item, it needs to make sure it succeeds at that task. A site is poorly designed if it has no focus or provides no information. Such sites are generally trying to look “cool” without providing what is helpful—information. A good example of a site with no focus appears in Figure 6-2, which shows Amp’s main page in 2006, found on the Wayback Machine at http://web.archive.org/web/ 20060616160639/http://www.1amp.com/. Figure 6-2. Amp’s main page, which didn’t tell a visitor much of anything What is Amp? What does “Experienced Passion” mean? Is the site’s focus the white background that constitutes the entire page except for the navigation bar?

The end user will never know how the content ended up on the page, as it acts in the same way functionally as it would using an <iframe> element. Figure 9-4 shows how a page might look if it had one <div> element on top of another <div> element, in this case a PNG image of a jungle overlaying a site I resurrected specifically for this chapter: Cyber-Safari Internet Cafe (found on the Wayback Machine at http://www.archive.org/web/web.php). You can achieve the same effect using <iframe> elements; however, the Ajax technique makes for easy manipulation from within one DOM document. Disregarding the slight hiccups involved in importing documents into existing documents, placing content into a <div> element using Ajax is straightforward and simple to do.

Post Office corporate site – corporate.postoffice.co.uk – which archives statements and press releases. Information can suddenly disappear or change, so it’s worth exporting and saving pages with interesting information on them. Wayback Machine – web.archive.org – a bot which crawls the internet, archiving pages as it goes. If you put any active or inactive link into the wayback machine’s search box, it will bring up a calendar showing the number of times it has visited and archived the page, allowing you to read pages which have been taken down and see how information on live pages has been altered. Computer Weekly – computerweekly.com – the original 2009 investigation is still available, as is a comprehensive and regularly updated timeline, documenting each twist and turn of the story.

Within three months, Second Sight were on the scene. ____________________ 1 The top in-house lawyer in any company. 2 Taken from a Faith in Business profile of Paula Vennells which reviews her speech to the 2017 Faith in Business Conference at Ridley Hall. The page was mysteriously deleted in 2020, but you can still find it on the excellent Wayback Machine website. 3 This was a substantial shift in position from the public statement given to the BBC, just 15 months previously, which asserted Horizon’s ‘absolute’ accuracy and reliability. SECOND SIGHT GET HIRED The process for appointing Second Sight as investigators was unusual. They were not exactly household names.

This analysis leads to a typology of conflicts on Wikipedia and pinpoints important differences between Wikipedia policies and the rules used by the Society of Friends and the Search Conference. Feel like Danzig: The Beginning The article on Gdańsk was written in the beginnings of Wikipedia, and the earliest edits of the article have not been preserved on Wikipedia servers. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine stores a copy of the article from November 9, 2001 (see “Gdansk,” 2001a). An old backup of Wikipedia discovered in 2010 by Tim Starling shows that the article on Gdansk was written in early May 2001, as one of the first ten thousand articles, and consisted of just two sentences: “Gdansk is a city in Poland, on the Baltic Sea.

Whether you are interested in recruiting from a single school, company, or professional or personal background, it’s straightforward to generate lists of hundreds or thousands of potential candidates. Even information that an individual may have put on the Internet and then deleted can sometimes still be found. The Wayback Machine, a service of the Internet Archive, regularly makes backups of more than 240 billion Web pages and has searchable records going back to 1996. We use the Wayback Machine only if we think it might help the candidate. For example, we had an applicant who had started a website in 2008 (great!) that had since been acquired (terrific!), but the current site had a heavily misogynistic tone (uh-oh) that was outside the bounds of even our expansive view of free speech.

People ate poorly, they did not eat healthy food. And so they got tooth cavities, and diseases of the stomach.’ By the time he said all this it was nearly dark. The boat was a trojan horse. Its purpose was not to supply food but to create a market. Once you’ve had ice cream and KitKats you can’t go back. * The Wayback Machine is an incredible resource – I make a monthly donation. It trawls through the internet and saves web pages on a regular basis, so that even if companies delete stuff it remains accessible. † In the seventeenth century, during the colonial era, taxes on everything extracted from the rainforest were collected here for the Portuguese Crown at the ‘Casa do Haver-o-peso’ – ‘the house to have the weight’.

He took off abruptly and would vanish for hours. He was blogging on his personal site regularly, posting lengthy book reviews alongside his theories on dieting. He relaunched Infogami. Other projects were more quixotic. He wrote a program that would download material from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine website, archive.org. He built and released a bare-bones Amazon search that loaded more quickly than the full Amazon.com site. He began researching early childhood development and education, with the aim to author his own text on the matter. Swartz’s physical and mental health began to concern the others.

Points of particular interest are sourced below, with page numbers from the Kindle edition. The Internet Archive was an invaluable source of old, now-defunct, updated, or since-censored content. Where current or easily accessible webpages are unavailable, they are often referenced through the “Wayback Machine,” as it’s known. Reddit itself, of course, was also invaluable; so was its blog, which took at least four iterations over the years. Reddit posts themselves are usually quoted when referenced in the text, and despite the common refrain that Reddit’s search function is lackluster, it does the job in most cases here, so references to most Reddit posts, threads, and blog announcements are omitted.

The ability of humans to generate verbiage is far outstripped by the ability of technologists to generate low-cost, reliable storage to contain it. For example, Brewster Kahle's Internet Archive project (archive.org) has been making a copy of the Web — the whole Web, give or take — every couple of days since 1996. Using the Archive's Wayback Machine, you can now go and see what any page looked like on a given day. The Archive doesn't even bother throwing away copies of pages that haven't changed since the last time they were scraped: with storage as cheap as it is — and it is very cheap for the Archive, which runs the largest database in the history of the universe off of a collection of white-box commodity PCs stacked up on packing skids in the basement of a disused armory in San Francisco's Presidio — there's no reason not to just keep them around.

What I like about the grandfather paradox is that it treats time travel not as some lofty exercise in cultural tourism — looking over Melville’s shoulder as he wrote Moby-Dick — but as a petty excuse to bicker with and gun down one’s own relatives. I just so happen to have a grandfather who deserved it, my great-great-grandfather, John Vowell. The reason why I would set the wayback machine for the sole purpose of rubbing him out is this: In the 1860s, the teenage John Vowell joined up with pro-slavery guerrilla warrior William Clarke Quantrill, who has been called the “most hated man in the Civil War,” which is saying something. On August 21, 1863, Quantrill led his gang, including my great-great-gramps, into Lawrence, Kansas, reportedly ordering them to “kill every male and burn every house.”

Going forward to 1985–1989 this allocation returned 11.83% versus 24.14% for the cowards. For 1985–1989, the best allocation was 100% Japanese stocks, producing an astonishing return of 40.24% annualized. The next five Optimal Asset Allocations 71 years? Negative 3.5% annualized versus to plus 7.54% for the coward’s portfolio. Again, it’s useful to take a short jaunt in the “wayback machine” to the late 1980s. A few square miles of Tokyo real estate were worth more than all of California, and shortly we were all going to be speaking Japanese. “The Nikkei too expensive at 100 times earnings? Westerners just don’t understand how to value equity on the Tokyo markets.” And finally, for 1990–1994 the best strategy was 100% Pacific Rim, returning 15.27% annualized.

Of course, there was no official trade bureau keeping track of such things, so the correlation was probably not noticed. Spain faded into oblivion because all it did was steal gold, and rarely created enterprises. Other countries from France to England used the gold as a unit of money for transactions and built enterprises and robust economies, i.e. true wealth vs. the transient kind. Sherman, set the Wayback Machine to 1694 England (said Peabody) and let’s see if gold is all that it is cracked up to be. *** OK, we’ve been here before. Mercantilism is all the rage. The British monarchy has the crown jewels, but not much gold and not much liquidity. So joint-stock companies are formed to explore/exploit India and points east as well as the New World to the west.

Two main types of publicly available resources are useful here: ■ Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. These maintain a finegrained index of all content that their powerful spiders have discovered, and also cached copies of much of this content, which persists even after the original content has been removed. ■ Web archives such as the WayBack Machine, located at www. archive. org/. These archives maintain a historical record of a large number of websites. In many cases they allow users to browse a fully replicated snapshot of a given site as it existed at various dates going back several years. 90 Chapter 4 Mapping the Application In addition to content that has been linked in the past, these resources are also likely to contain references to content that is linked from third-party sites, but not from within the target application itself.

This may sometimes uncover additional content that you overlooked when working manually. Before doing an automated crawl, first identify any URLs that are dangerous or likely to break the application session, and then configure the spider to exclude these from its scope. 1.2 Consult Public Resources 1.2.1 Use Internet search engines and archives (such as the Wayback Machine) to identify what content they have indexed and stored for your target application. 1.2.2 Use advanced search options to improve the effectiveness of your research. For example, on Google you can use site : to retrieve all the content for your target site and link: to retrieve other sites that link to it.

You could be relying on statistics that are outdated, have been retracted, or that applied to a different year than the one you’re interested in. Re-posters sometimes alter key information in the process; don’t assume that content has been re-posted without alterations. One tool to help identify an altered article is the Wayback Machine (named in a nod to Jay Ward’s Peabody and Sherman cartoon from the 1950s and 1960s). The Wayback contains snapshots of the World Wide Web at different points in time. The archive isn’t continuous—it takes snapshots at irregular intervals—but it can be helpful in conducting research and validating information to see what websites looked like in the past. www.http://webarchive.org.

Give them all your money. I’m not a trained historian, and I am deeply appreciative of the work done by the scholars of computing history cited throughout this book, particularly in the early chapters. They’re doing world-changing work, in many cases righting egregious exclusions.

The goal here is both to familiarize you with this technology and use it as a real-time template for the Six Ds, exploring how select entrepreneurs have correctly read the cycle of hype and positioned themselves to take full advantage of this tech’s exponential opportunity. To accomplish this goal, we need to start at the beginning. So let’s crank up the wayback machine and take a trip some 2.6 million years into our past, to what is now Southern Ethiopia, where one of our craftier ancestors picked up a pair of rocks and used one to chip away at the other until all that remained of the second was a sharp stone flake.8 Eureka! Stone chipping was the birth of tool use, but it was also the birth of subtractive manufacturing, a process of object creation wherein a larger block of material (i.e., a big flat stone) is subtracted from until all that remains is a large pile of debris and the desired object (i.e., the sharpened flake).

However, a cached version of a blog post obtained through the Wayback Machine, written by former labor secretary Tom Perez and former commerce secretary Penny Pritzker, serves as a good example of the prevailing ethos for much of the Obama administration that there is a skills gap that needs to be addressed for middle-class people to succeed. However, this is distinct from “middle skill jobs,” which are defined as those that require more education and training than secondary education but less than a four-year university degree.

I began this adventure in middle age at a time when I was beginning to have significant health problems, and aging is no friend of chronic health issues. Eventually I could no longer maintain the website. I put it first into an archived state, trying to preserve what was already there. Unfortunately over time even this has decayed, so that the domain autistics.org currently links to an empty directory and autistics.org lives on only at the wayback machine. I still have the files, and if I have the opportunity I will try to restore them. But I am looking for people who would like to continue what we started. I don’t consider autistics.org dead, and I certainly don’t consider the domain to belong to me personally (as you might imagine I’ve had many offers to buy the name from parent-led charities and commercial entities), but to the autistic community.

I have elected to change his name in the text because he did not desire to participate in the book and I can’t think of a good reason why including it would strengthen the book. they are made up of ideas that seem special to their creators: Or worse than not special enough, ideas that are too special.

The project's primary funder, because of its deep involvement and obvious concern over the directions the project takes, presents a wider target than most. By being scrupulous to observe all project guidelines right from the start, the funder makes itself the same size as everyone else.

Cecil Rhodes’s vision in founding the Scholarship was to develop outstanding leaders who would be motivated to fight ‘the world’s fight’ and to ‘esteem the performance of public duties as their highest aim’, and to promote international understanding and peace.24 Ironically, given all the rhetoric about not rewriting history, that particular little bit of history has now been deleted from the Rhodes Trust website. However, the endnote attached to the quote above gives the wayback machine web reference to let you see how the page was edited during 2017 and 2018. It is, of course, encouraging that whoever was in charge of the website in 2017 realised that talking about Rhodes’s vision as something to emulate was perhaps misguided. To find Rhodes’s true intentions, you need to read his 1877 Confession of Faith,25 in which he explained: ‘It is our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race, more of the best, the most human, most honourable race the world possesses.’

It said, ‘It would appear difficult to draft practicable trust-related amendments to the Savings Directive of the kind referred to in the Working Document which would be “litigation-proof”. Beneficiaries of discretionary trusts do not own trust property until it is distributed to them, nor do they control anything.’ 6.

Historically, governments have collected all sorts of data about the past. In the McCarthy era, for example, the government used political party registrations, subscriptions to magazines, and testimonies from friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues to gather data on people. The difference now is that the capability is more like a Wayback Machine: the data is more complete and far cheaper to get, and the technology has evolved to enable sophisticated historical analysis. For example, in recent years Credit Suisse, Standard Chartered Bank, and BNP Paribas all admitted to violating laws prohibiting money transfer to sanctioned groups. They deliberately altered transactions to evade algorithmic surveillance and detection by “OFAC filters”—that’s the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department of the Treasury.

With a bit if tuning, such parasitic web pages can be detected with better than 99% accuracy 78 Although these two display identically, they are in fact different character strings. Security through Diversity 325 [140][141]. A variation of this might be to use the Wayback Machine to see how a particular site looked a few months ago and whether there’s at least a general similarity to what’s there now (the downside to this is that Wayback Machine lookups can be rather slow, the Google cache is faster but doesn’t provide the same level of control over date ranges that Wayback does). Obviously you can apply standard performance-optimisation techniques to this potentially slow process (and others that could end up stalling processing) by performing opportunistic lookups for links on the current page, performing backgrounds lookups as the page is loading and being rendered, cacheing the results of previous lookups, and adding a dead-man timer if the results take too long to arrive.

Crackpot With Too Much Free Time — Nikki Finke Editorial Note: When I use the term “Crackpot”, I am in no way, shape or form implying that this old Hollywood warhorse is crazy. I would never say Nikki Finke is crazy. Never. (http://gawker.com/news/los-angeles/correction-nikki-finke-is-not-crazy-184254.php) The WayBack Machine Wednesday 2 August 2006 @ 4:57 p.m. I celebrated my twenty-first birthday unceremoniously by working the two to ten-thirty shift at Quick Stop. I was single then, having recently severed ties with Kim Loughran, my high school sweetheart. She was home from college for the summer, and I’d spent most of that June trying to get our relationship back on a track I’d felt her tenure at Carnegie Mellon had disrupted.
