Media Time Machine

Like all my good ideas, I'm sure this one has already been done. Does anyone know if there is a way I can enter any date, say 10/17/2007, and go back in time to that date? I would only see news and information from that date, nothing after.

For example, if I wanted to get a feel for the mood on 10/17/2007, I could see the New York Times home page exactly as it would appear on that day, or even at a specific hour or minute. I could go to CNN and watch the breaking news as if it were really 9:30 am on that day. If I Googled some recent phenomenon, it would return no results. Is there a way to freeze the Internet in time like that?

If so, does any one else think it would be interesting to time travel online? I would love to see what proclamations people were making this time last year about Hillary, the economy, and such.

Oi vey!

I was just doing some research on Jewish T-shirts, when I found this site, closed for Sabbath!

Yahweh or the Highway T-shirt

I just received a royalty check for a T-shirt I designed on Zazzle.com three years ago!

Junk Mail

I was so sick of receiving those pre-approved credit card offers in the mail, so I found a phone number to call to be removed from those lists. 1-888-567-8688. The computerized message asks for your social security number, which I refused to give, and it still processed it anyway. I'll post an update here if there is any change in the amount of junk credit card offers I receive.

I also registered for the Do Not Mail list, to cut down on other junk mail.

It was a simple process, so we'll see if that had any effect also.
