My 4yo son asked me I there are holiday songs that arenโt about Christmas. I said of course. He asked if I could sing one so I panicked and sang him This is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas. If you have a favorite non-Christmas holiday song Iโd love to know it for future reference ๐

The Apollo computer's memory had to be woven. Wire by wire, by women whose names never made it into NASA's reports. It also needed integrated circuits, built by Navajo women with "innate" rug weaving skills. New episode of Found in the Machine about the weavers:

Newest episode of Lore in the Machine is about the CAPTCHA. But it's really about what happens when the Turing Test flips. And what we were unknowingly building while we squinted at blurry letters.

Lore in the Machine is live! Four episodes are up. Ep1 asks why programmers say 'foo'. The answer involves a very strange comic strip from the 1930s, a WWII radar operator, and more model trains than you'd expect. New episodes every other week

Devs type "foo" but few know it comes from a 1930s comic strip. I've been collecting stories like this for ages without knowing what to do with them. So I made a show. Lore in the Machine tells the strange stories behind the tools we use every day. Trailer is up. Hope you enjoy:
