		<description><![CDATA[On April 27, CHM hosted its annual Fellow Awards, its public celebration of the remarkable men and women who have changed the world through computing technology. When you look back at some of the past CHM Fellows, you can see reflected in these Award winners the grand outlines of computing itself: the first practical electronic random-access computer memory, the creation of Unix, FORTRAN, Linux, Moore’s Law, artificial intelligence, desktop publishing, the World Wide Web, packet <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/the-2013-computer-history-museum-fellows/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year, the Computer History Museum honors Harry Huskey as a CHM Fellow. Fellows are unique individuals who have made a major difference to computing and to the world around them. Huskey was born in 1916 in Bryson, North Carolina, when the Battle of the Somme was raging and Pancho Villa was on the lam. He is from that first generation of computing pioneers who worked at the dawn of the computer age in the <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/harry-huskey-2013-chm-fellow/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The famous French physiologist Claude Bernard once remarked: “The science of life is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen.” Bernard was right and science and technology are full of examples of scientists and inventors paying a heavy price for their discoveries. &#160; Daniel Alcides Carrion, a Peruvian medical student, infected himself with pus from a purple lesion from a sick patient in <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/suffering-for-science/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On October 9, CHM was privileged to have as a special visitor, Mr. Jack Koff. Koff built one of CHM’s more interesting and early robotic artifacts—Squee: the Robot Squirrel. Squee was the idea of early computing popularizer Edmund Berkeley. Berkeley began working as an actuary for Prudential Insurance but quickly rose to prominence for two reasons: one, he co-founded the Association for Computing Machinery in 1947, still the world’s leading body for computer science professionals; <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/squee-the-robot-squirrel/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Art always tells us something about the times in which it was created. Take Andy Warhol’s Campbell&#8217;s soup cans for example, which caricature the effects of mass consumer taste on art. Or sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne, which shows two human figures carved in marble in a breathtaking display of movement and form so typical of the high baroque period. The materials they used, the techniques the employed, and the patronage <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/honeywell-animals/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jobs once said his goal in life was "to make a dent in the universe." At the end of this life, Jobs saw Apple surpass Exxon as the most valuable company in the world as measured in market capitalization. Ultimately, Jobs made his dent, and more. A fitting tribute, borrowed from the tomb of English architect Sir Christopher Wren, might be: Si monumentum requires circumspice. "If you seek his monument, look around you." <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/steve-jobs/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Light, sound, temperature: the world is a symphony of vibrations. All around us is a world alive with continuously varying signals. These real world sensations are called analog signals to distinguish them from digital signals--which can only switch between 0 and 1 (on and off) and which exist only in a computer. Many systems have both analog and digital elements: a smartphone, for example, has both analog and digital parts and converts signals back and forth between the two continuously. Over half of the iPhone 4 is composed of analog circuits or systems. <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/an-analog-life-remembering-jim-williams/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

Olsen’s computer museum story begins in about 1972 when he and former MIT supervisor Bob Everett began thinking about how to preserve the Whirlwind and TX-0 computers as they were soon becoming available as surplus.

Learning about its history teaches us about competing visions of the future and how companies made decisions during this exciting time. The Computer History Museum presents here two special documents from Apple Computer during the early days of personal computing. <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/early-apple-business-documents/">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>
