bookmarks that have expired
Not being able to cut or sew has left me with time to do goofy things! How often do you check on all the sites you've bookmarked over the years? Quite a few of mine are obsolete... wondering where did they go...off to facebook.... out of business.. new name ?

I actually discovered the same thing when I went to actually make something I pinned on Pinterest. The one I was looking for was a blog post and the blog had disappeared. I was finally able to find the original post by using the Wayback Machine.

Wayback machine? What is it, it sounds interesting!

The Wayback machine is actually an archive of internet pages. When something is deleted, or moved, the link/bookmark may not work anymore. But when something is deleted from the internet it isn't usually completely gone, it is saved somewhere but the normal link doesn't work anymore. Named of course after Peabody's machine from the old cartoon. Here is a link to the page: http://archive.org/web/
