Something kooky and neat

I love newspapers. All newspapers. And newspaper history is particularly fascinating when you get down to it, since they've basically been around in some form or fashion since the printed word came about. So for some reason I find it very fascinating that this guy has scanned and blogged the very first newspaper ever printed in Scandinavia, published back in 1749. It's amazing when history and technology meet and become intertwined, and now this old piece of newsprint (well, not exactly) will probably survive in some form into infinity. Who said that blogging was all hot air and hyperbole?
