Two vids I felt I should bring to people's attention..

The first, obtained via Warren Ellis' blog is called 'Cup of Brown Joy', and covers a topic very close to my heart - tea.





The second, found on IEEE Tech Talk shows a working replica of Babbage's Difference Engine No 2. A perfect gift for the steampunky geek in your life.

Both are damn cool.

"Babbage's Difference Engine No 2." It's very small isn't it (compared to what would be required under the original design constraints). It reminds me of a lego mechano device.

Pretty sure that's what size it is. I too have a large skull.
