Bassnectar - Land of the Lupes (Lupe Fiasco, Kick Push Remix)

Very different feel compared to the original but so appropriate. Brings me back to those days when I would just spend hours riding my bike or scooter as a kid.

A very talented old man with more class than I’ll ever have.

Elton John - Rocket Man

Coworker could not believe that I have never heard this song after we saw some customer’s email as something-something-rocketman. Love it haha

Hip-Hop arrangement of Greensleeves.
AWESOME. If only I could do this on my guitar. Weekend project maybe? :D

linedandunlinedlibrary: Turing’s Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe George Dyson Legendary historian and philosopher of science George Dyson vividly re-creates the scenes of focused experimentation, incredible mathematical insight, and pure creative genius that gave us computers, digital television, modern genetics, models of stellar evolution—in other words, computer code. In the 1940s and ’50s, a group of eccentric geniuses—led by John von Neumann—gathered at the newly created Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Their joint project was the realization of the theoretical universal machine, an idea that had been put forth by mathematician Alan Turing. This group of brilliant engineers worked in isolation, almost entirely independent from industry and the traditional academic community. But because they relied exclusively on government funding, the government wanted its share of the results: the computer that they built also led directly to the hydrogen bomb. George Dyson has uncovered a wealth of new material about this project, and in bringing the story of these men and women and their ideas to life, he shows how the crucial advancements that dominated twentieth-century technology emerged from one computer in one laboratory, where the digital universe as we know it was born.
