Bletchley is well worth a trip, the National Computing Museam is on-site but a separate org - both recommended. Portsmouth, along with the rocket testing facilities on the Isle of Wight, and the Tank Museum are still on my to-do list when next near the south coast.
On reflection, Kennedy Space Centre was fantastic, I visited once as a child so a hazy memory - would love to go back.
1. Kirkaldy Testing Works - London UK “Facts not opinions!” 2. National Museum of Computing - Bletchley Park UK - Colossus! 3. Computer History Museum - Mountain View USA 4. Royal Armouries - Leeds UK 5. Science Museam - London UK Quite a tech focussed list, would likely change on any given day.
Is this where the Duolingo owl lives?
It encouraged me to gift a few D&D minifigs - so thanks for making me aware these existed!
One of my first illustrations for the David Suzuki Foundation was a magical beluga whale skating pond. After a few years, I did this sequel. I think I felt a bit jaded, wondering how we can dream of magic whales when they & the ice are disappearing so quickly #whales#scicomm#sciart#illustration
The Muppets are celebrating their 70th anniversary--and the first character they're spotlighting is Rowlf! That's the right choice. He's not the oldest Muppet--Kermit predates him by about 7 years--but he's one of the most important in helping build Jim Henson's name, company, and legacy. /1
