Vote for 'Lovelace & Babbage' at LEGO Ideas

If you are a regular reader of this blog you'll know that I'm a big fan of Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace. Consequently I'd be certain to want a set of these Lovelace & Babbage Lego bricks should they ever be made. They would be a  fanciful and historical collection of bricks that pay homage to the Victorian roots of the computer age. The set would let you build a lego steam punk analytical engine within which you could embed a Raspberry Pi or similar mini-computer board. You can find out more on the Lego Ideas website.

Zuckerberg pledges $44.5 billion to charity

Image
Facebook became more popular yesterday as its founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan pledged 99% of their shares in Facebook to charity to mark the birth of their first child. These shares are currently valued at around $45 billion. This will leave the Zuckerberg family with a mere half billion dollars to scrape by on. Actually I'm not being facetious, I commend Zuckerberg for his actions, nobody needs such a vast fortune and in the hands of well-run charities such huge sums of money can make a real difference. I hope more billionaires follow suit. When you use Facebook now you can know that you are helping make the world a better place. from The Universal Machine http://universal-machine.blogspot.com/ Put the internet to work for you.
