I've been collecting interesting examples of information organisation in history, focusing on non-Western civilisations. I came across this example of an ancient Mesopotamian spreadsheet! It records wages paid to temple workers in 1295 BCE.

In pop culture, computing & programming are often depicted with “tech bros.” But the first computer programmer was a brilliant woman.

Augusta “Ada” Lovelace was born in 1815. Her notes include an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine & she envisioned that computers could go beyond calculations. Lovelace described “how individuals & society relate to technology as a collaborative tool.”

Lovelace passed away in 1852 at just 36. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/ada-lovelace-the-first-tech-visionary #HistoryRemix #history #science

Ada Lovelace, the First Tech Visionary

Lovelace, known as the first computer programmer, has been recognized annually to highlight the often overlooked contributions of women to math and science.

Shout out to everyone else who was "just interested in being supportive of queer people", who "didn't really have a reason" but started researching neurodiversity to "understand others better", or who "just really wished people were kinder to trauma survivors" without being sure why...

For everyone who has had the moment when you realize that the unheard, marginalized voice you've been trying to amplify for so long is actually your own.

Love y'all. In case nobody else has said it yet, welcome home.

Looks like my Seattle Center installation "To Catch the World" will be extended until April -- so you've still got plenty of time to go check it out!
