This series of photographs was taken, while I was waiting for the bus after my dentist appointment.

Why I Have to Travel in the Street.
Here is a Keegan Podcast that illustrates why it is sometimes necessary for me to travel in the street.
I don’t Understand
I assume this is for some purpose, but it’s extremely unappealing and noisy.
Sock on Boardwalk
This set of photographs is a continuation of my series of clothing found on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
Parade Float?
Taking several days ago, I don’t know what was happening here, but it looked really interesting. On a side note, there are entirely too many SUVs on the boardwalk these days.
Mass Meeting of Seagulls in Crosswalk
Taking several weeks ago, this set of pictures documents something unique in my experience. I’ve lived in Atlantic City for 7 years, and this is the first time I’ve seen this many seagulls standing still in a group.
Wanton Destruction for no Purpose
This used to be a working pay telephone on Pacific Avenue and South Carolina Avenue in Atlantic City New Jersey. Now, with the Advent of the cell phone pay phones are not needed as much as they used to be. But, there is absolutely no need for this one to be destroyed.
Change Log jgkeegan.com June 10, 2024—June 23, 2024
It has been some time since I have posted a Change Log for jgkeegan.com or completed a full maintenance cycle on the website. The following is a list of updates.
Updated copyright year on index page.
Updated copyright year on Copyright page.
Updated copyright year on Homepage Additionally, deleted 2016 updates from up update list.
Updated copyright year file not found custom 404 page.
Updated copyright year Time and Technology have Passed By. Additionally, fixed typos.
Updated copyright year The Prisoner. Additionally, checked and updated all links so that they open a new tab.
It is surprising that all the links on this page going to other sites still function. Usually, after year or so there is at least one dead link on any page especially this one, but not this maintenance cycle.
Updated copyright year Resume.
Updated copyright year The Significance of Airpower in World War II.
I wrote this article, as I remember, in response to an email from an individual who thought I was the military historian Sir. John Keegan, which I am not; but I am and was an historian and I was able to answer their question through the article.
Updated copyright year Annenberg CPB Project Media. Additionally, updated paragraph.
Updated copyright year Articles.
Updated copyright year Lookbrew article.
Updated copyright year Physical Disability and Independence.

Updated copyright year United States v. Trump et al: The Indictment.
Updated copyright year Internet Platforms, User Rights, and Section 230.
This is one of my most useful articles because people generally don’t understand that businesses do not have to protect freedom of speech. Internet platforms are businesses. A platform can go out of its way to protect the free speech rights of individuals, but it has no legal requirement to do so.
Corrected spacing in footnote number.
Updated copyright year Rise and Fall of the Third Reich Has Its Place.
Looking at the HTML code for this article, I am struck by how my coding preferences have changed. For example, when I did the notes for this article I put the cite element inside the paragraph element. Now, I simply make the cite element a block level element in CSS.
Updated copyright year Intelligent Design is not Science.
Updated copyright year Intelligent Design, Credibility, and the Lack Thereof.
Updated copyright year Intelligent Design Links.
Updated all links Intelligent Design Links so that they open in new tap.
Looking at the HTML code for this page, I found that many of the links are not coded to open in a new tap. As I continue to do research, I find that it is really time consuming to click the browser back button which is why any new work is coded so that all links open in a new tap.

Updated copyright year The Secret of Sherlock Holmes.
Added media query to The Secret of Sherlock Holmes CSS.
For some reason there was no media query in the CSS. So, I put one in, but I forgot to clear the cache of the browser I was working in. Once I did that everything worked.
Updated all links The Secret of Sherlock Holmes so that they open in a new tab.

Changed selector from the pseudo class last of type to an ID Survival: The Russian Orthodox Church CSS and then added 100 pixel bottom margin to the ID. For some reason, last of type was affecting other paragraphs.
It is best practice to label each section of a webpage with an ID because each ID is unique in each can be styled differently using CSS. Because the above was one of my earliest published masters papers, I did not label every section with an ID.

Support — the PayPal button is not functioning. It will take more time than I have during this maintenance cycle to correct this problem.
Updated copyright year Doctor Who Links. Additionally, removed URLs that are no longer functioning and added new ones.
Doctor Who Restoration Team website, clicking on the link brings up information that says the site is unsecure and clicking the link to proceed to the site starts to download process. So, the URL has been removed.
Updated copyright year Doctor Who Episode Guide. Additionally, made updates where necessary.
Change Log keegan.wiki May 30, 2024—June 5, 2024
It has been some time since I have updated the Document Archive and posted a Change Log. I have updated the copyright year and broken links on each page. Some years ago, I switched from Dream Weaver to Visual Studio Code, which I like better; but it does have one drawback, in Visual Studio Code pages have to be updated individually. In Dream Weaver changes could be made to a template and every page based on that template would be updated automatically. Changes such as the copyright year. However, the cost of using Dream Weaver was prohibitively expensive given that I like to work in code view. Additionally, updating each page individually guarantees the updating a broken link and the correction of typos.
Updated copyright year on index page.
Updated copyright year the United States Constitution page.
Updated copyright year on Watergate page.
Updated copyright year on Antebellum America page
Updated copyright year on Copyright page. Additionally, added e-mail link.
Updated and copyright year on Civil War page. Additionally, edited last sentence to include the words or Amazon Prime
which allows the series to be purchased.
Updated copyright year on Civil War Newspaper Teaching Resources page.
Updated copyright year on Civil War Newspaper page.
Updated copyright year on Ordeal of Con Thien page.
Updated copyright year on World War II page. Additionally, I updated a link in the Prisoner of War Experience Lesson Plan and the assignment.
In an earlier post, I detailed the need for content maintenance. In this case, the link in the lesson plan was dead and those that maintained the site had not updated it in the .htaccess file. In such cases, the Wayback Machine at archive.org is a useful tool because it provides the most recent snapshot of a particular page, provided of course, the website has been archived. However, in this case the page that I needed was still part of the site just the URL had changed.
Updated copyright year on page Last Days in Hitler’s Air Raid Shelter.
Updated copyright year on 7 December 1941 (short version) page.
Updated copyright year on Documenting Sources for a Research Paper.
Updated copyright year on Evaluating Web Sources page.
Updated copyright year on Research Index page.
Replaced the index page in the source directory. The page that was there did not have a file extension.
Updated copyright year Kimmel Hearings.
Updated copyright year on Historic McCarthy Senate Hearings Published.
Updated copyright year on Sources: Internet Platforms, User Rights, and Section 230.
Updated copyright year on Sources: United States v. Trump et al: The Indictment.
In an earlier post, I detailed a method for shortening source URLs so that they can be read on smaller screens. Since then, I have found the need to create source pages. That is, creating a page that lists all the sources that I have used and decided to archive myself. This method provides a shortened URL that can be used in the notes of an article, a complete citation, and the source itself. The method also keeps URLs of the sources from dying.
