    Default 2DGoggles - The Lovelace and Babbage adventures

    Someone pointed me in the direction of this comic about the amazing adventures of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage and their difference engine.

    Not only is it highly amusing, it is also highly geeky as the author has tried to make all the facts fit, no matter who obscure.

    Huge steam powered difference engines aside, of course.

    PS: IKB rocks.
    In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.

    This is pretty awesome. I'd never read any of Babbage's autobiography, and just it in itself is amusing. (The comic author puts extensive notes at the end of each one for all the details).
