Way Back Machine

So, I dragged my sick carcass to work tonight so none of my co-workers wouldn't have to cover my night desk shift. I'm so full of Comtrex and Tylenol I can't feel my fingers. But enough of that!

Tonight I bring you the Wayback Machine courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here is their description of what the Internet Archive does -

The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.

What could be cooler than that? You can browse the archive, or search by a specific URL. I put in the URL of the University where I work - http://www.nsula.edu - and was able to track the changes in the web page back to 1997 when we first started having a web page.

Try this with some of your favorite sites and see how they have evolved over the years.
