Douglas Engelbart

Berkeley, Saturday, May 30, 2020 3:14 AM Reporting procrastination, which is not good, but I learned something interesting. Here for the records an interesting radio episode, by 99% invisible, about Douglas Engelbart, and his vision and intellectual thought of the usage of communication systems and computers. The episode name is “Of Mice And Men”. It […]

Math Museum

Berkeley, Saturday, May 29, 2020 00:11 AM There is this great thing of Professor Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web (www) invention that is the sharing of good information. I found this excellent page about a museum of math history, or rather about great contributors to math through history. Here is the link for my further […]

Biden-Warren [I hope!]
