Update: I made a whole domain name for it.

A lot (a real lot) is being said right now about _why and I'm not going to do a long post about it (right now, anyway). John Resig did a great job anyhow.

But I did rescue one of my all time favorite artifacts of _why's, Everyone is Here In The Future 2, from archive.org which saved the .swf file. This is a movie he produced for a talk he gave at RailsConf 2006 (the last one he went to, and the year before I started going!), which doesn't have anything to do with Rails, and has everything to do with ridiculous. Unfortunately, the first EIHITF did not seem to get the same treatment by archive.org. If anyone can dig it up, we'll all be better off.

I don't think _why is gone forever, at least I hope not. But for now, I post this in his honor.
