#6How time flies. It was two years ago today that I blogged this: http://blog.jgc.org/2009/06/alan-turing-deserves-apology-fro... which lead to great things: http://blog.jgc.org/2009/09/hello-john-its-gordon-brown.html

#7I sometimes think we fail to pay enough credit to the early pioneers of the computing field. I was recently reading the "Artificial Life" book by Levy[1], and it starts off with a lot of history about Von Neumann, Turing, and a host of other characters. Fascinating stuff, and that definitely has nudged me to try and make some time to do more reading about the "early days" of computing.
