Speaking of which, here’s a funny thing. When I was volunteering at the Computer History Museum a decade or so ago, I got certified to operate Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine No. 2. (Here’s an old photo.) It was a 5-ton calculating machine that felt unlike any other.pic.twitter.com/lk6P9XIbzE
But today I know exactly what it feels like, and it’s mind blowing to me, and I feel lucky to be able to have had both these experiences to compare them. Babbage’s Engine is a calculator that feels like a locomotive. (!!!!!)
Oh, yeah, of course there were keyboards also: one on a typewriter for some local paperwork, and another on a teletype connected to the outside world in the pre-internet age.pic.twitter.com/6mGuoprqG5

That’s it! Check it out if you have a chance – it’s a Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, CA. (Wish I could talk to my grandpa Kazimierz about all of this.)pic.twitter.com/d7Bn0ltWaz – at Western Pacific Railroad Museum
Oh, wait! I just saw Bill filmed more things, like this exact sequence of events needed to happen before you start running. This is by the end, where I had it all memorized:pic.twitter.com/eaj8JsURG6

This was otherwise an unexpected coda to a day that started with me just wanting to hike around some beautiful lakes in a place recommended by a complete random stranger some time back. Morals of the story, I guess: Stop and visit a local museum! And… erm… talk to strangers?pic.twitter.com/qku1OX3QSu
