On a recent business trip to SF, a few co-workers and I drove down to Cupertino (to visit the Mothership) and then to Mountain View. While in Mountain View we headed over to the Computer History Museum but it had closed early to host a company party. As we were walking out an enthusiastic guide offered to tell us about the Babbage Difference Engine No. 2 sitting in the lobby, which is the second complete Difference Engine No. 2 to be built from Babbage's original drawings, and was commissioned by Nathan Myhrvold. Turns out that our guide was former eBay CIO Bob Sanguedolce; he was an excellent guide, clearly excited and passionate about Babbage's creation. Bob took the time out of his day to tell us about it, even though he didn't have to, turning a potentially bust visit in to a boom. Thanks Bob, we really appreciated it!

Yes, I watched the Apple event (live via a rogue UStream feed), and I totally get everyone's initial disappointment. And yes, there are a ton of things that the iPad doesn't do; I get it. Really. Remember that this is Apple, they pay attention to details, and what they didn't put into the iPad (camera, multitasking, etc.) speaks just as loudly as what they did put into it. That said, and with one pic, here's why it'll rock:
Update 2/1/10: My Kindle DX has been sold.
Update 2/7/10: iPads already popular with physicians
iPhone, Blackberry, Pre... whatever you're sporting... what apps are on YOUR home screen?
