Howdy Neighbor!

The Oriental Institute is to have a new neighbor, The Milton Friedman Institute, in the facility now housing the Chicago Theological Seminary, which will move the southeast corner of South Dorchester Avenue and East 60th Street.



The first thing that jumped into my mind was to wonder what will happen to the incomparable Seminary Co-op Bookstore.

History of the Internet presence of the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago

Nine years ago, when the web was about half as old as it is now, "Back before Google", I wrote a piece for the Web Editor column of Ariadne (Issue 21 - 23 September, 1999), Abzu and Beyond: Charles Jones muses on the history of the Internet presence of the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago.

It's probably time to write an update. I wonder who'll do that?
