Holy Analog Batman!

The Antikythera Mechanism has been decoded. Two years ago, it was confirmed that the machine was capable of astronomical calculations. Now it appears there's just one more thing: 3D imaging of the machine made it possible to reconstruct the complete workings, and it turns out it was also capable of tracking the timing of the Olympic games. The findings were reported today in Nature. Previous Apple joke here, an incredibly deep post about it here, and a longer report from the New Yorker.

Join Us!

Barack Obama and I are committed to changing the political process by building a campaign founded on a broad base of support from ordinary Americans.

I've set my own personal fundraising goal for the campaign, which you can see in the thermometer to the right.

Will you make a donation to help me reach my goal?

3.0 Ready for Little Niagra!

Took the boys to Sulphur, OK and visited the Mineral Springs (stinky water) at Chickasaw National Park. 3.0 was not too thrilled about swimming in murky water (nor was I), but that didn't stop his big bro. They had a great time and had to be pulled kickin and screamin from the water.
