i just found this facinating. the fact that it happened in 1676 just increases my awe tenfold:
The first quantitative estimate of the speed of light was made in 1676 by Ole Rømer, who was studying the motions of Jupiter’s satellite Io with a telescope. It is possible to time the revolution of Io because it […]

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
