Representation does matter. I believe that government, organizations and MUSEUMS should reflect the community. History is made up of many stories, faces and voices.
Reflection (Day 14 of Museum 30 Challenge)
Food (Day 13 of Museum 30 Challenge)
This is the kitchen computer and it appeared in the Neiman Marcus 1969 Christmas catalogue. For $10,600 you got the computer, a cookbook, apron and a TWO WEEK PROGRAMMING class you had to take in order to operate it. Surprisingly none were sold.
Favorite Object (Day 12 of Museum 30 Challenge)
One of my favorite things to talk about is XEROX PARC and the Alto Computer. This research center was founded in 1970 in Palo Alto, CA. Have you ever used a laser printer, Ethernet, icons (on computer),pop up menus, overlapping windows? If so, you can thank PARC.
Labels (Day 6 of Museum 30 Challenge)
Knobs, with writing on them, from SAGE. SAGE was a computer used during the height of the Cold War to track enemy planes. Operators describe long period of boredom along with seconds of sheer panic. I can only imagine. Wonder during what activity period these notes were written?
Animals (Day 5: Museum 30 Challenge)
I’ll pass on a robotic dog. Give me the fur and the love you cannot program.
Typography (Day 4: Museum 30 Challenge)
Day 4: typography.
Self Portrait (Day 3: Museum 30 Challenge)
Always on brand.
Black & White (Day 2: Museum 30 Challenge)
Black/white. On/off. 1/0. Computers think in binary. Sometimes I wish I thought in binary as well.
My Museum (Day 1: Museum 30)
For the museum 30 challenge I will be sharing images from the Computer History Museum. I still can’t believe that I have worked there for almost 7 years.
Black Cats: National Cat Day & Halloween in One
Personally, I believe that each day should be National Cat Day, but this is coming from a self-described "crazy, cat lady". Haha In honor of both days, I'm dedicating this post to my baby, Harlow. He is a black cat that I rescued from the street just over a year ago. I love him and... Continue Reading →
