The term "bug" was used in an account by computer pioneer Grace Hopper, who publicized the cause of a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer.

Hopper did not find the bug, as she readily acknowledged. The date in the log book was September 9, 1947. The operators who found it, including William "Bill" Burke, later of the Naval Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren, Virginia, were familiar with the engineering term and amusedly kept the insect with the notation "First actual case of bug being found." Hopper loved to recount the story.

This log book, complete with attached moth, is part of the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

We got a fax. At work. We didn't know we had a fax machine. Everyone just stared at it. I poked it with a stick.

What’s classy if you’re rich, but trashy if you’re poor?

I saw a microbiologist today.

Much bigger than I expected.

You can’t lick your elbow, and you can’t hum while holding your nose.

My Mastodon journey began when I tooted Hello World on November 30, 2022. Since that time I’ve tooted, and I’ve boosted. I’ve met amazing people, and connected with fellow musicians and artists. I’ve shared my interests and my music. I have learned much from the community.

Although 2024 has been liberal with the knocks and blows, I try my best to be thankful for the good things that have happened.

Did you know that some people know the words to my songs? That still blows my mind.

Thank you for following. Really. I mean it. Thank you. I know I don’t reply to every comment, and when I do, it’s often just an emoji, but I value your company, your insights, your come-backs. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It’s been my privilege.

I never imagined I’d have ten thousand followers.

You humble me.

Thank you.

Thank you for making the Fediverse the friendly and welcoming place that it is. You’re all amazing.

Big love.

Jon
