Great time to donate to support living computers, all up and working at the ICM! With membership you could access to these machines, so you can visit the museum in person or from the comfort of your home! icm.museum and your company may match your donations!

The PDP-8/e and PDP-12 are counting bits in the ACs for you.

Artist and former Thinking Machines Product Designer Tamiko Thiel visited icm.museum to see the new Large Systems gallery which features the Connection Machine. Tamiko demonstrates the CM-2's "friend height" a suggestion that Danny Hillis wanted to realize.

Make the internet quirky again. Pockets still exist and probably always will, but the flatlander to redpill ratio is very high. The internet isn’t television.
I think that the Internet should be weird again and we should just code things because they’re delightful. We should also code things so that the haters hate less

Writing my own disk drive cleaning program today because I don't like how other programs do it. (Mine uses a butterfly pattern, and only runs for 20 seconds, because that should be long enough to unjam any gunk from the heads.)

This AT&T demo diskette was discovered in a large box of unsorted floppies. The instructions are for running it on a 3B2 computer which we have running as “lcm3b2” and is remotely accessible. Would you like to know what is on this diskette? #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #floppydisk #unix
