History and Appliances: Followup

Tags: Days of Future Past, ketchup reigns supreme, bonk!

A few odds and ends related to my recent “History and Appliances” posts:

1. Don’t overlook Matt Norwood’s astute comments.
2. I got some traffic over the weekend from a nice link to this discussion in Angela Gunn’s Tech_Space blog for USA Today. Thanks, Angela. Which was swell of her, considering my Days of Future Past-esque reverie took a cheap shot at that beloved McNewspaper. Tech_Space looks pretty good, I must admit. There are a lot of neat links there and not one goofy graph or pie chart of the “ketchup reigns supreme“/ “what we do with our cereal milk” variety.
3. Bonk! Turns out everything I said in those two posts that wasn’t taken from Digital History Hacks, I said more concisely three and a half years ago.
4. The latest History Carnival is up at Jeremy Bogg’s ClioWeb.
