I’m making a list of places to visit someday.

An invite-only "Friends-of-Symbolics" program allows people to try the latest software for free while it's in development.

I spent a lot of time at Cunningham Falls as a younger man camping with friends. There was this beautiful crystal pool of water at the bottom of on of the falls that although only about 25 feet in diameter was surprisingly deep. I remember that near the surface was was warm and relaxing, but if you dove down toward the bottom, you’d feel an icy cold even in the middle of summer. I don’t recall attack beavers.

Happy Birthday (Aug 7, 1946) to L. Peter Deutsch, computing luminary and inventor of the REPL -- as a teenager. Some background about the creation of the REPL is found on the fantastic Obsolescence Guaranteed site at https://obsolescence.dev/interactive-computing-history.html

The PDP-1 LISP 1.5 guide (1964) is also available online at https://s3data.computerhistory.org/pdp-1/DEC.pdp_1.1964.102650371.pdf

One of the best meta-programming talks that I've ever had the privilege to see live. Highly relevant in today's tech landscape.
