Fun Fridays – February 9, 2024

Today’s video suggests two things:

1. Technology advances are astounding.

2. I may be classified, by some, as old.

In 1975 I programmed a computer to play golf, using a random number generator. The computer was in a university where I attended a summer math camp as a high schooler. The computer was the size of a living room with spinning wheels of tape. I input my data on a keyboard, which then printed a punch card. I inserted the punch card into the computer, which ran the program. It was trial and error for days as I had to correct the programming if I had a single error in the code.

I also remember reading about the Cray computer mentioned in this video and being awed by its computing power. It was around this same time that they were trying to create a computer that could win a chess match against a human Grand Master.

Little known fact. While in college I worked for a few months in the back room of the school library, restoring damaged books. When I found today’s video, I was fascinated by the extraordinary skill of Sophia Bogle, book restorer. Hope you find this 10-minute video an education on a lost art.

Time to blow your mind. Today’s video is a visual representation of J.S. Bach’s “Canon” that was written to be able to be played forward and backward–and simultaneously front to back. Genius composition on display. Seemingly simple and even mundane. Just wait for it to unfold. Apparently composed in response to a composition challenge by King Frederick the Great …

Since many of you have been experiencing an extra dose of winter this month, I thought this video about the symmetry of the snowflake is fascinating. As you watch the video, consider the magnificence of God’s handiwork. Awe-inspiring. Worthy of worship.

Enjoy this Christmas Fun Friday guest post written by Frank Ball a number of years ago. Frank is a great friend to all writers, having mentored hundreds of them over the years. (Visit his personal website here.) With his permission I changed the title a little and the opening line to fit today’s theme. ‘Twas the Night Before Deadline ‘Twas the night before deadline, when all …

A perfect example of how to write a poignant short story. Chevrolet’s new Christmas video is a wonderful way to start the Advent season.

Writing is a solo creative venture. Or so it may seem. But sometimes, a collaborative effort can make the solo a chorus. Today’s video is an expression of that community effort. Four people playing one guitar. Brilliant! Who are some people in your life who make your creativity greater because of their contributions?
