		<description><![CDATA[Every once in awhile, I like to go into the Museum’s permanent exhibition Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing. It isn’t unusual for curators at many museums to rarely visit the exhibits they curated – after opening, the public galleries often get turned over to educators, docents, and public programs. But I enjoy the interaction with the visitors and find their questions and interests to be inspiring. &#160; I particularly look for visitors in <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/why-analog-computers/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In November of 2012, an event to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the SPARC microprocessor event was held at the Computer History Museum. The star-studded panel of technologists associated with Sun Microsystems’ SPARC processor drew a large crowd, many of them Sun alumni themselves. One of the audience members turned out to be Steven Muchnick, who was part of the original SPARC team. &#160; Events like this are often an opportunity for people to informally <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/the-elbrus-2-a-soviet-era-high-performance-computer/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Warfare has been a rich source of technological innovation as long as humans have roamed the Earth. It isn’t much of a surprise then that from early electronic analog and digital computers, to integrated circuits, and programming languages, electronics and computing have been developed in concert with military needs. When it comes to military command and control, one of the best-known examples is the massive U.S. air defense system SAGE. But practically every modern military <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/if-it-moves-it-should-be-ruggednova/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The year 2012 marks another step in a familiar quadrennial cycle. A cycle culminating in an event that demands global attention and that has people in awe of the amount of effort and money spent to ensure that the competitors reach their peak with meticulous timing. I am not talking about the 2012 Summer Olympic Games held in London this year; I am talking about the 2012 United States presidential elections.

		<description><![CDATA[As a curator at the Computer History Museum, I work at the intersection of computing technology, history, and the museum world. I am a member of different tribes with different cultures, practices, and approaches. This is easy to forget when the daily work in collections and exhibitions takes precedence. The annual conferences that are a gathering of likeminded individuals are a great opportunity to reconnect with the &#8220;tribes.&#8221; One of the oldest and most renowned <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/from-copenhagen-to-edinburgh-shot-sigcis-artefacts-2012/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About five years ago, I noticed a box of punched cards that Senior Curator Dag Spicer had set aside. It had been sent by high-performance computing researcher Lloyd Fosdick to the Museum’s forerunner, The Computer Museum, in 1985 and somehow made the trip from Boston to California when the collection was transferred. Alas, neither Dag nor I could make sense of the inscription written upon the edge of the card deck: “SIMON’S J’S (ORIGINAL SET) <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/simons-js/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>
