Contemporary History as Seen Through The Development of Programming Languages at Sea Turtle Island - Lodge

March 26, 2011 from 5am to 7am

The design of programing langages has been an extraordinary adventure and a process that has reflected changes in worldview, economics, social organization, technological development, and our visions of the future. This is a talk about the history of programming languages as a part of the larger human story. I will explain, in non-technical language, why this may be an important puzzle piece in understanding our past and future.

I wonder if it would be even possible to have as many there now. That was a sweet time it would seem to me, before avatar got so complex and everyone was wearing items with colour change and resizing scripts, Mystitools, etc.

Discussion on Inka khipu at The Cedar Island Lodge

February 19, 2011 from 5am to 6am

How could people "write" using knots, textures and colors in Andean cultures before the Conquest? Why call this writing? How does it compare to the earliest forms of writing usually discussed in the western tradition?
