Geeks in space
Despite being a member of the always-thrilling Maths Teacher occupation (I'm a real laugh at parties) I've done my best not to over nerd-it-up on the Hilarity. That was until Si and I hit the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Sorry to Alison who claimed it was boring; it was a geeky paradise.
The endless floors of exhibits were hours of technical wonder (well actually, to spend one minute at each exhibition: over 30 days). There were all manner of cut-away motors, electrical equipment, old computers, astrophysics fun and an entire corridor dedicated to mathematical equipment. Not to mention the above calculator that's actually been in space.
And I'm not sure if any of my robotics students read this, but even when you're wandering about on a space station, you'll note that cable-ties are used to keep everything neat and orderly. Like I've said: it's just that important.

Now we're talking! I am in your honour, your geekiness.
On half term break I made a return visit to the History of Science museum in Oxford with Justin. it was even interesting the second time! What does that tell you?

It tells me that the History of Science museum is brilliant.
Good times, good times.
