Computers seem complicated, right? in a noble attempt to understand the guts of these magical machines, we’ll discuss the very basics: bits, binary to decimal conversion, basic logic gates, and assembling several logic gates for more sophisticated operations– interjected with historical references to morse, braille, and boole.

SWAP MEET

Piracy - Karaoke - Conviviality

This Saturday is the Lunar New Year festival (the Year of the Golden
Pig no less). Golden Dragon Parade. Firecrackers. Car show. The works.

You know a place where people are actually interested in your
extensive krautrock Mp3 collection. You know a place where you can sing
karaoke to that one Disney song, in Italian.

You will turn to your posse and say: "Forget those crowded overpriced
bars -- come follow me down this dark alley!"

Happy New Year, from Swap Meet.
