It's #TrusteesWeek. A huge thank you to the #TNMoC Board of Trustees. As volunteers, their strategic guidance helps us preserve irreplaceable computing history & inspire the next generation of STEM innovators. https://t.co/0H6WqZvQw4 #TNMoC #STEM #ComputingHistory
A motherboard is more than a place to plug in a CPU and RAM. Its design reflects decades of decisions about compatibility, expansion, and how computers work.
This week, I look at motherboards and firmware.

#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1969, the first message was sent over what would become the Internet. UCLA student Charley Kline sent the message, βLOβ to Bill Duvall at the Stanford Research Institute via ARPANET. The message was meant to read, βLOGINβ but the system crashed after just the first two letters. Even still, that brief message was a tremendous achievement that marked the beginning of networked communication as we know it. For more: https://t.co/yYxQ2pqXRz
Today in #ComputingHistory, we celebrate #AdaLovelaceDay, an international celebration of women in STEM. Ada Lovelace Day was established in 2009 to honor her legacy and highlight the many contributions of women in STEM. It strives to inspire future generations to pursue careers in these fields.
In 1843, Ada Lovelace published what is widely regarded as the first computer program. Lovelace recognized that a machine could follow instructions to solve complex problems and predicted that computers would do far more than calculations.
Her legacy continues to inspire. #OTD https://t.co/yYxQ2pqXRz
β¨ PLTW Celebrates Ada Lovelace Day 2026 β¨
Today, we join with our international community in celebration of the achievements of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

As the world celebrates #AdaLovelaceDay we want to honour her legacy by throwing the spotlight on all women in STEM who deserve a moment in the spotlight. Tell us who inspires you & why?

Sinclair history in an unlikely settingβ¦ π
29 Southgate Street was Sinclair Researchβs Winchester R&D office, where Michael Pye and a small team worked on semiconductor-based consumer products.
Did anyone ever visit or work here?

#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1954, the first successful FORTRAN program was executed.
Developed at IBM by a team led by ACM A.M. Turing Award laureate John Backus, FORTRAN was designed to make programming scientific and engineering problems easier by allowing programmers to use mathematical formulas instead of writing everything in machine or assembly language.
FORTRAN went on to become a foundational language for scientific and engineering computing, and it is still used today, including in high-performance computing.

Happy Birthday, ACM! Today, our organization turns 79 years old.
#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1947, a group of computing pioneers came together to establish the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Led by Edmund C. Berkeley, the group set out to support a new world shaped by computers.
ACM was created to foster the development of computing and support the professionals and academics advancing this emerging field. Today, it has grown into a global community helping shape the future of computing.
What would our founders think of todayβs advances?

Grace Brewster Hopper was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral.
She was a pioneer of computer programming. She developed COBOL (1960), an early high-level programming language still in use today.
#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1981, IBM introduced its first personal computer, the IBM 5150.
Built by a team in Boca Raton, Florida, the IBM PC featured an Intel 8088 processor, 16 KB of RAM, and an open architecture that allowed users to add hardware and software from other companies. IBMβs decision to use off-the-shelf components and third-party software helped bring personal computing into the mainstream.
The IBM PC would go on to become a defining standard in personal computing, influencing the development of the PC industry for decades to come.
