Kari and I spent part of the day at the splendid and inspiring information technology exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Among its treasures: the actual wire Bell first used to speak to Watson, pieces of the original ENIAC, a snippet of the TAT-6 Trans-Atlantic telephone cable, Deep Blue, and upstairs, a Jacquard loom. We plan to make a return visit soon to see the hall of printing and graphic arts.
On the home front, some ongoing nasty DSL connectivity problems. Lite blogging fore and aft.
