Sewn into the machine is the memory of an achievement that humbled the world, feet landed upon the moon we have all gazed upon. A testament not just to the people who landed, but to all of mankind. This is the ROM of the Apollo Guidance Computer, composed of what is known as Core Rope Memory. Individual copper lines are hand sewn in particular patterns to denote programs, read by the ferrite ring surrounding the copper lines. These copper lines were sewn by female workers in factories, in a way, seamstresses of a digital age. The Apollo Guidance Computer itself is very impressive in and of itself, I may post more about it.

Probably one of the single most important computers to computing history, the 16-bit PDP-11. This minicomputer and its 22 year lifespan birthed UNIX and the C programming language, as well as setting the stage for the office computer properly. They build them for about 20 years, in various forms from the 70s to 1990, and the last version of UNIX for it was made in 1992. Remember Kids, IBM was important to the computer, but DEC were the true harbingers of modern computing.

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚

Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆
