Internet Security, music, and Dad Jokes. And pets - it's a blog, after all.
Hmph. I spent all those years learning digital logic and programming, when I should have been playing with Lego.
That is just flat neat... :-)
Just curious...did they ever figure out what the antikythera mechanism was for?
Goober, it was for predicting eclipses.
I think a lot of people fail to understand how exciting a discovery the antikythera mechanism was. Gears and intricate cogworks and such like didn't show up again until the 14th century. This thing would be like finding a working airplane in a Columbus-era shipwreck.
