Help! Where's the old Tenderbutton

I have enthused about Dylan's chemistry blog, Tenderbutton. Unfortunately for us, he closed down about a month ago. But I thought I would always be able to read the archives – they are wonderful record of chemistry as it happens – not the sterilized material in ritual publications. But now this grey literature has been closed – it is only available with a password and no indication of how to get one.
This is a great pity. One of the great regrets of my life is that we have lost much of the spontaneity of creation and discussion in the early days of the web. Here it looks like we could be losing a seminal part of the chemical blogosphere.
I'm guessing that the closure is to protect spammers, not because the "authorities" have removed it from view. But either way it will lead rapidly to decay. (We've essentially lost a whole journal – the Internet Journal of Chemistry – because of difficulties archiving.)
Why am I worried about a blog? It's only a blog, not a proper publication, isn't it? It's not properly peer-reviewed. It's only a graduate student writing it. It didn't have official authorisation. Most of the readers were also graduate  students.
WRONG! It's actually the start of new approaches in scientific communication. To me it is at least as valuable as the formal publications of synthesized organic chemistry that no-one other than organic chemists is interested in.
I was going to pursue this thesis but I needed the old TB material to refer to. In my opinion it should be deposited in the Stanford Instititutional Repository. It's a work of scholarship and of great value to scholars.
(These opinions don't necessarily transfer to every blog, but they do for most of the current chemical blogs).
