@larsbrinkhoff “The launch of Digital Equipment Corporation’s PDP-1 (Programmed Data Processor-1) computer in 1959 marked a radical shift in the philosophy of computer design.
This on-line exhibition covers the history of this groundbreaking computer and the Computer History Museum’s recent restoration of a PDP-1 to working order.”

It comes from a loose coalition of #archivists & #librarians, who are standing athwart #history & yelling “Save!” They belong to organizations such as the #InternetArchive, which co-created a project called the End of Term Web Archive to back up the federal web in 2008; the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, or #edgi; & #libraries at major #universities such as #MIT & the University of #Michigan.
Most of the new inquiries are focused on colleges’ partnerships w/the #PhDProject, a #nonprofit that helps #students from underrepresented groups get degrees in #business w/the goal of diversifying the business world.
The group of 45 colleges facing scrutiny over ties to the PhD Project include major public universities such as #ArizonaState, #OhioState & #Rutgers, along w/prestigious private schools like #Yale, #Cornell, #Duke & #MIT.

The #KrononautMoon Project is an ongoing series of community experiments to contact #TimeTravelers — as "in-person", but more likely via #quantum #signal. The next attempt is coming up soon on 14 Mar 2025 — under the #TotalLunarEclipse — wherever you are. These outreaches are sometimes referred to as "landing receptions", but call them or redesign them however you like. Following is a brief, all-true #chronology of such #events, going back 40+ years. The excerpt is from our detailed #article on Medium.com.
❛❛ #Future #intelligences would have the necessary transport #technology that is not yet existent in our #world. To date, there have been 5 recorded attempts of this method, with the most famous one devised by the late #theoretical #physicist #StephenHawking, in #Cambridge #UK on 2009 Jun 28.
Hawking referred to his get-together as a “reception”—what we now think of as a version type 1.0. His champagne toast to “tourists from the future” was, by no means, not the first of the prototypes, however, because it was staged years after 3 similar experimental attempts — stationed in different #countries and unrelated to each other. The professor’s cheeky soirée occurred four years after a rollicking party that was thrown for “Inhabitants of the Future” at Forrest Place, #Perth #AU, on 2005 Mar 31. Then, a few months later, an equally festive #TimeTraveler #Convention was hosted at #MIT — The #Massachusetts Institute of Technology, #Cambridge #MA #US, on 2005 May 07. These elaborate productions were preceded by a full two decades, back when a group identifying itself as the #Krononauts assembled in #Baltimore #MD #US (alt. spelling: #Chrononauts). That seminal event, which was covered by a #NewYorkTimes reporter, happened at a downtown #bookstore, under the light of a #FullMoon, and a multi-planetary #syzygy, on 1982 Mar 09.
More recently, in the spring of 2023, a dogged #podcaster for TheLastArchive.com and Pushkin.fm, published a riveting and droll #audio recounting of Baltimore’s Krononauts gathering, and then gave the concept a uniquely personal #experimental spin, noting the time and #GPS #coordinates. The effort successfully demonstrated that a single individual can attempt extra-temporal #contact on one’s own, equipped with little more than a #public #library #bench, and can meaningfully contribute to the corpus of #Community #Time #Travel #Research. ❜❜
On 2025 Mar 14, join your #friends, fellow #Mastodonians, and #TimeTravelers for an evening of #peace, #love, and #cosmic #tranquility, wherever you are.

On this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, Richard Solomon and fellow #MIT PhD student Prahlad Iyengar detail their battle against the historic institution’s active participation in the genocide in #gaza.
Their story exemplifies the repression students face across the country who dare question how their work and labor are used to advance the illegal and morally reprehensible goals of the Israeli military.
