18 Shevaṭ 5768: Burns Night/Opposite Day/Winter-een-mas

Greetings.

Worthy cause of the day: “Tell the Top Reporters to Stop Ignoring the Top Issue”. Please sign and tell reporters to pay more attention to global warming in the presidential election. Thank you.

Today’s news and commentary:Today’s weird thing is Old Computers - rare, vintage, and obsolete computers, which will amaze you on just how far personal computers have come in the past 38 years. (And I fully expect my grandchildren not to believe that my first computer had 4 MB of RAM, a 512×348 black-and-white screen, no internal hard drive, and ran at a sluggish 8 MHz. They probably will not believe that I grew up without direct brain-computer interfaces either.) Enjoy, share the weirdness, and Shabbath shalom.

Aaron
