Yes, we have a rich history. But as I prepare (for the 37th time!) for my keynote tomorrow at our annual Wolfram Technology Conference I'm most excited to talk about what's next. Join me live at 1 pm ET www.youtube.com/Wolfram_Rese...

Dropped in at Bletchley Park ... and at the National Museum of Computing met an old friend: an Elliott 903---the first kind of computer I used (in 1972). I think I've aged better...

Launching Version 14.3 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica. It's a version with a particularly large number of very long-awaited features (including ones planned for 38(!) years) ... that we finally figured out how to deliver! 🎁

Wow! Look at what high school students just did in 2 weeks #WithWolfram at the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program. (And, yes, in "extreme professoring mode" I tried to get to know all 75 students and suggest projects that would be great fits for each of them...)

I'm still amazed it actually got done.

From the point of view of science I've never been too excited about the Game of Life. But now I realize that what's really exciting about it is what it tells us about what we can call metaengineering...

For those conceivably wondering, the "C10" in my 1984 diary is range-2 totalistic code 10 (black if 1 or 3 cells out of 5 are black). Four decades later I decided to do some ruliology on the "forgotten" code 10.
