I printed out our emails again.  This time as a 300-page binder.

(I foolishly forgot that paper has two sides, so there's twice as much paper as there should be.  Will be fixed on next print.)

I placed the binder on a podium within the Email Chamber, and am enjoying the thought of applying RMO's Active Binder technology to this space.

I find myself thinking again of Craig Mod's essay about turning a software development project into a book.  “What does that weigh?”

If you'd like to print out emails yourself, you can go to http://room.local/mail-binder/?start_index=0&count=1000 (set the parameters accordingly, or change the javascript to filter for the messages you care about).  Only Firefox supports two-column printing.
