Carlos' Tumblr
Just like a modern dude should, he took to Tumblr.
So as you've probably already guessed, I'm Carlos. My professional interests lie with libraries and archives, legal and legislative records.
I enjoy being active by running, practicing Bikram yoga, and weight training.
Please take a moment to say hi, reblog, or favorite any of the posts you like. :-)

Photoset reblogged from Congress in the Archives
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.
On January 5, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his Annual Message to Congress where he first proposed the securing of “four freedoms” as the goal for U.S. policy.

Today I attended the NDNP Awardee Conference hosted by the National Endowment for Humanities.
I currently have the pleasure of documenting a new API feature that allows bulk download of all the API text, and writing a use document which will explain how to successfully download the data and import it into a search tool.
As you might imagine, I am interested in hearing about the various forms of metadata involved for making these new features possible. I am pleased to report that there are various forms of metadata used to create these tools, some of them are:
- Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard - Analyzed Layout and Object Text (METS-ALTO)
- Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS)
- PREMIS (Preservation Metadata Maintenance Activity)
- and Metadata for Images in XML (MIX)
All of these standards come together to form a unique set of API features that make Chronicling America a truly unique resource for primary resources!
This is just a technical discussion, but please explore the website and discover more!

I found this cool 3-D feature on MapMyRun today. This was my route. Definitely a great day for a run.
