Muppets set off on an archeological ethnological expedition to discover their roots. Discovered materials then become part of an exhibit at the museum, combined with artifacts from the Met, to teach about ancient cultures, mythology and archaeology with a Muppet twist

Before USB, there were PC Cards, the go-to way to add wireless, modems, storage, and all kinds of specialty ports to laptops and PDAs throughout the 1990s. They were lightweight, modular, and surprisingly powerful. #ThrowbackThursday #PCCard #VintageComputing #VintageComputer

Since folks are saying promote yr books, I’d like to share a couple of slides of some books that I often show when I give talks — if you’re interested in the history of computing, and its present, you might like these! And yeah my book is on there too🥸

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

The return of the FRAGGLE ROCK float in the 1984 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade managed to fix most of the issues from the previous year, with the camera actually managing to find the main characters this time, but the real highlight is the addition of an animated Junior Gorg looming above...
