Sadly one of the great minds of personal computing, Wesley Clark, passed this week. We have Dr. Bruce Damer to share with us a little about the life and legacy of this great man. Before he passed he helped to restore one of his great inventions, the LINC computer, the first machine designed for a single operator. This historical working minicomputer now resides at the Digibarn in Boulder Creek, CA.
In the world of biotech, we have a new kind of lab rat for testing drugs and therapies, a quivering orb of human brain cells, minibrains grown from your own skin cells. Quite amazing. Equally incredible is a new computer memory system that can store information for billions of years, insuring our legacy as a species far beyond even the age of the planet itself. Why is this important? Civilization backup possibilities, avoidance of dark ages in our future evolution, immortality for our progress for futue societies. Fascinating stuff this week, enjoy!
