Neil showed me the Way Back Machine at Archive.org earlier this week. I had never heard of this before. It's basically a system that takes snapshots of websites at a point in time and permanently archives it. Holy crap. So, I decided to find my old web pages from college. I had numerous designs for my sites ten years ago, and archive.org had indexed one:

But that's not even the cool part...

While clicking through my old pages, I found that archive.org actually archived a whole bunch of old WAV files that I had posted. Specifically, a series of audio files of me interviewing friends and classmates about their feelings on dirt. Yes, dirt. There's a bunch of other audio I found too. You can view all of the audio at http://www.kindohm.com/mp3/reallyold/.

So, I worked with the dirt_nate.wav sample a bit and stuck it into a new experimental tune that I worked on last night: dirt.mp3. It was just a little experiment, but I think it'll turn into a full-fledged tune in the near future.
