JanuaryThe Babbage Difference Engine, a modern implementation

01/24 

   

Every year, I make a calendar with pictures of my daughter (sometimes including family and friends). I use a program I wrote several years ago to help me assemble it quickly, then I print out copies for interested family members (which, oddly, does not include my daughter; narcissism is not one of her flaws, I guess).

I keep one for myself, but I actually want two calendars: one for home and one for my cubicle at work. None of the calendars at the store interested me, so I decided to make one from pictures of classic computers. I chose machines that were historically significant, either to the world or to me personally.

It's now hanging up at work, contributing to my geek cred. You can see the pictures I chose in the nearby slideshow.
