No. 95 — Small Archives ⫶ Without Blurs ⫶ Lost Art of Logarithms
My name is Linda. I write a bi-weekly newsletter about computer science, childhood, and culture. It is warm enough to forget a coat to a birthday party. Mimosa season changing to daffodil season. I’m writing this from Brussels, which is mere 1.5 hours by train from Paris - I’ve had commutes longer than this. Life still in boxes and make-do furniture instead of real one, but I’m finally reunited with many of my books.

I won’t be traveling for at least the rest of the year and most likely international conference travel won’t resume for 2021 either.
Nine books that inspire young girls to explore the STEM world
Komal Singh’s goal is to see more young girls get involved in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (a.k.a STEM). Research shows that only 15 to 20 percent of women are in the tech workforce, and girls start doubting their STEM intelligence as young as six years old. She’s hoping to fix those stats through an empowering new children’s story, a first-of-its-kind picture book featuring real-life engineering trailblazers who are women.
5 Books to Teach Curious Kids about Coding
Do you remember the Y2K freak out? Were you one of the people in Time Square partying like it was your last night on earth? Are you still using up those canned goods and toilet paper from your emergency cache? Nobody knew what to do when the binary code flipped over, except the computer nerds of course. They never lost their cool. I’m a nerd myself, but I’m a literature-loving, crossword-working, NPR-listening geek. I can’t speak computer.
