Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

One under-discussed benefit of studying young kids learning through play is that no-matter how stressful the week is, someone has data with kids doing hysterical and / or amazing things to brighten the day and remind us why we do this work.
