The history of #PARC and #SRI is the history of computing.

Fun tidbit: Engelbart apparently 'dealt lightning with both hands'. Research presenters at PARC were called 'dealers of lightning'. PARC still holds a weekly 'Dealer' seminar.

#PARC joins forces with #StanfordResearchInstitute #SRI #SRIInc to form one of the largest #CS #AI #Tech research non-profits.

Research at a non-profit, that is funded by the public, supports science that is conducted in good faith, is accessible, and is for the social, communal good.

I am so very excited!

I am also very grateful that market pressures don't pull my research in random directions.
