I'd heard from my wife who worked at TMs that they did this so engineers would stop "wasting" time programming animations on those lights.

My wife worked for Thinking Machines back then. I remember that they'd asked Cray to loan them a supercomputer for the film because that's the computer used in the book. Cray brush…

Speaking of Victorian... I was in a fire department museum in Boston this past weekend and learned that the fire boxes around the city with the levers that one would pull in case o…

One of my favorite post card collections is the book "Boring Postcards USA" from the collection of Martin Parr: https://martinparr.com/books/books-edited-by-mp/#gallery/8__... This…

I’ve had the same issues. Bifocals are definitely better, though I now have progressives for general around town or driving purposes because I was talked into them by the saleswoma…

A friend worked there for years, she said different offices would either be far too hot or else freezing on the same day. There was never a comfortable room. If the interior office…
