zero zero island

assorted rambling about electronic music, vintage synths, and whatever else.

25 February, 2006

still space geek.



in keeping with my unusual 60's spaceflight fascination, i've been playing with the virtual reproduction of the APOLLO 11 guidance computer. it runs well on os x, not surprising considering my powerbook is about 5000x more powerful than the computers we used to land a man on the moon, and much more adept at locating and showing pictures of naked girls.

i enjoyed playing with the virtual AGC for 10 or 15 minutes or so, but for the life of me i can't imagine the kind of dedication it takes, to spend 4 years of your life on something like this.

i won't even give you a hint. just go check it out. at my absolute nerdiest i could never reach such heights. i tip my hat to that gentleman.
