@archivetype I’d love to hear more about these analog vs. digital display confrontations 🙂
-
tjowens
@archivetype ex, there is a good argument to be made for different screens as sig properties in some situations too http://t.co/JXTiJWpR

tjowens
@archivetype good point. and even there, significant properties are always dependent on the intended context of use

@hellenophile best wishes on the move, I started drafting a response to that long comment, will post it by this weekend. Good times

@gmusca well that’s no good. Not entirely sure, but you might try having it load one of the views with less info first, like the map
-
tjowens
@gmusca looking great! You might think about adding a year histogram, and it might be useful to break out states as a facet.
-
tjowens
@archivetype gotcha, does seem like a lot of work to go through for a somewhat elusive sense of authenticity
-
tjowens
@archivetype also interested to hear what you think is wrong about using original hardware in this case?
-
tjowens
@archivetype interesting, I was curious as the games interrupt after a few minutes of play and I didn’t see the devices.
-
tjowens
Anyone know if the 5 playable games in the @americanart art of video games exhibit are emulated or on original hardware?
-
tjowens
@FHeimburger ha! Though, I guess their “bitly” name likely already suffered from that issue.
-
tjowens
Also, I don’t know about you but who doesn’t want to be refered to as a “bitizen”
-
tjowens
I think I am liking the new Bitly pages, more like profile pages for the URLs ex https://t.co/tdYQQP3l
