The missing JS archives and the digital age's great failure

"Increasingly, though, when I do go back to my previous online writing, I find lots of what the internet has come to term 'linkrot,' broken links to web pages that are no longer available. Just to make the point, I picked out a random post of mine from 2008; three of five links to specific stories or other bloggers in that post now go to 404 pages. The links have rotted; there is no way for you to judge whether I fairly or accurately characterized those sources at the time."
