On a whim, I'm flying down to the Bay Area next month to attend this. Have I mentioned how much I love the Long Now seminar series? Because I do. So why not attend a really interesting looking one?
And it means I can see some grad friends I really miss!
But most importantly, it means I can finally go see the Difference Engine. Frankly, it's a mark of shame that I wasn't there the instant they unpacked it. Which raises the question -- do I have any contacts at the Computer History Museum? Because I would really, really, really like to see it close up. I promise not to drool on it, honest. But if I could turn the crank, just once... I would be a very happy Fish. Call it research for Attoparsec.
