Datamancer's Seafarer keyboard: brassy, nautical steampunk confection
The latest Datamancer keyboard is the Seafarer:
Coming Soon! We recently decided to try our hands at some brass-casting
and this is the first result, "The Seafarer", an intensely ornate,
nautically-themed keyboard with a worn-in, weather-beaten aesthetic. It
features a gold foil map faceplate, protected by thick acrylic, spiral
cut rods, and engraved gold metallic keys.
We plan to make several more cast brass designs in the near future, so feel free to join the mailing list to stay informed of their availability
HOWTO think like Alan Turing
There was something about Turing that made his friends and family want
to compose rhymes. His proud father openly admitted that he hadn't the
vaguest idea what his son's mathematical inquiries were about, but it
was all good anyway. "I don't know what the 'ell 'e meant / But that is
what 'e said 'e meant," John wrote to Alan, who took delight in reading
the couplet to friends.
His fellow students sang songs about him at the dinner table: "The maths brain lies often awake in his bed / Doing logs to ten places and trig in his head."
His gym class colleagues even sang his praises as a linesman: "Turing's fond of the football field / For geometric problems the touch-lines yield."
Turing's favorite physical activity, however, was running, especially the long-distance variety. "He would amaze his colleagues by running to scientific meetings," Hodges writes, "beating the travelers by public transport." He even came close to a shot at the 1948 Olympic Games, a bid cut short by an injury

Michigan leads the way.....
Brown, a Democrat, argued that her Jewish faith allowed for therapeutic abortions when the mother's life is in danger without regard to length of pregnancy.
"I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs. Why are you asking me to adopt yours?" she said. But what came next is what got her in trouble: "And finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.'"
The Detroit News reports today the House Republican leadership did not allow Brown to speak on a bill about the retirement of school employees.
