    Hell, Dave. That is a lot of reading. If it’s okay with you I’m gonna print it all out and take it to bed with me?

    Sorry, it is quite a lot. I knocked it out in about an hour, with distractions. What fascinates me about this isn’t so much what they’re doing (marking nuclear waste disposal sites) as the various cultural considerations they’re taking into it. The archaeology category was in no way facetious, although I suppose “information architecture” is meant more literally here than in its more common usage
