Here is your fab gov docs coloring book

From Popular Science - "The National Archives of the United States just released a coloring book full of strange patents. It’s all available now as a free PDF, and it’s 17 glorious pages of sheer inventive weirdness. The patents range for chicken goggles to a hat that automatically salutes to the landing craft used in D-Day. It’s an utter delight." That it is.

Link rot relief?

OK, it's a good step: online citations added to dockets -

As of January 4,  PDF files of online resources cited in opinions will be automatically added to the official case docket. "The Judicial Conference of the United States, the judiciary’s national governing body, has advised all federal courts to preserve online resources cited in decisions. The Ninth Circuit is the third federal appellate court to add online resources to its case dockets. The courts of appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and District of Columbia Circuit also do so."
