Researchers are trying to build the Babbage Analytical Engine, a room-size machine designed by Charles Babbage in the 1830s that uses primitive punch cards.
The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled.

Long overdue in memory of Vic Chesnutt. One the the great songwriters…and will always be one of my most favorites. Great memories from NYC.
