We know Detroit is a bit of a drive if you’re staying in Ann Arbor, but we will all be soooo happy to see you! We are located at 1900 E Jefferson Ave, not too far away from where the D2A2 bus stop is, which goes directly between Downtown Ann Arbor and Downtown Detroit. We hope to see you soon! 💛💛💛

I'll be presenting at Save the Games on Thursday! Come hear me talk about our triage strategy for processing assets for our digital archive

A slide titled "Case study: I am not manually converting 120 QuarkXPress files." Images in the slide include the Always Sunny meme of "I've had enough of this dude" with a picture of Quark from Star Trek; and a QuarkXPress for Dummies book with the Dummies mascot saying "Yes... ha ha ha... YES!"
