And I'm trying to find old music, links, information that I dimly remember from a decade or so before.
An old music video, popular in Prague, Fall of '93. Searching, searching, I can find nothing.
Another, an old piece of music from Paris, bookmarked on a computer that died a long time ago. And a long list of favorite links that died with it.
To watch a home movie, recorded on an old webcam, format not longer supported, or the blistering foil on the CD making it unplayable.
Trying to find these lost souvenirs of my life, lost to time and place and increasingly the failings and shortcomings of the digital age. Lost, lost, the digital afterworld proving to be a an unreliable shifting memory...photos, however bleached, can still be held, records can still be played and film can be restored, but these early years of internet and innovation, they're somehow both dimly remembered and lost forever...
